Quantitation of circulating satellite RNAs in pancreatic cancer patients.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (Pdac) is a malignancy with a poor prognosis due to difficulties in early detection. Although promising biomarkers are increasingly reported, such methods are not yet easy to apply clinically, mainly due to their low reproducibility or technical difficulties. In this study, we developed a convenient and sensitive method for quantifying aberrantly expressed satel...
متن کاملElevation of circulating plasma cytokines in cancer patients with high plasma parathyroid hormone-related protein levels.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein/peptide (PTHrP) bind to the same PTH/PTHrP receptor and stimulate osteoblasts to secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin (IL)-6. In patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, elevation of plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and IL-6 was also described. We, therefore, postulated that PTHrP secreted from cancer cells sti...
متن کاملPlasma-based circulating MicroRNA biomarkers for Parkinson's disease.
BACKGROUND The current "gold-standard" for Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnosis is based primarily on subjective clinical rating scales related with motor features. Molecular biomarkers that are objective and quantifiable remain attractive as clinical tools to detect PD prior to its motor onsets. OBJECTIVE Here, we aimed to identify, develop, and validate plasma-based circulating microRNA (miRN...
متن کاملIncreased microRNA-34c abundance in Alzheimer's disease circulating blood plasma
Circulating microRNAs, present either in the cellular component, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), or in cell-free plasma, have emerged as biomarkers for age-dependent systemic, disease-associated changes in many organs. Previously, we have shown that microRNA (miR)-34a is increased in circulating PBMC of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. In the present study, we show that this microR...
متن کاملPlasma Processing Conditions Substantially Influence Circulating microRNA Biomarker Levels
Circulating, cell-free microRNAs (miRNAs) are promising candidate biomarkers, but optimal conditions for processing blood specimens for miRNA measurement remain to be established. Our previous work showed that the majority of plasma miRNAs are likely blood cell-derived. In the course of profiling lung cancer cases versus healthy controls, we observed a broad increase in circulating miRNA levels...
