چکیده

bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer with significant morbidity and mortality. recently, numerous studies demonstrated that micrornas are emerging as diagnostic biomarkers for bladder cancer. specific mirna profiles have been identified for several samples from patients with bladder cancer. micrornas are noncoding rna molecules of approximately 23 nucleotides that play important roles in multiple steps during the progression of bladder cancer. here, we review the expression profiles of mirnas and their biological functions, regulation, and clinical implications in bladder cancer. either downregulation or upregulation of mirnas occurs in bladder cancer through epigenetic changes or defects of the biogenesis apparatus. deregulation of mirnas is involved in cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, proliferation, metastasis, drug resistance, and other functions in bladder cancer. a number of mirnas, have been associated with tumor type, stage, or patient survival, and mirnas might be developed as diagnostic or prognostic markers. a better understanding of the roles of mirnas in bladder cancer will shed light on the molecular mechanisms of bladder cancer.

Tumor-associated circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of cancer.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), the 17- to 25-nucleotide long noncoding RNAs that modulate the expression of mRNAs and proteins, have emerged as critical players in cancer initiation and progression processes. Deregulation of tissue miRNA expression levels associated with specific genetic alterations has been demonstrated in cancer, where miRNAs function either as oncogenes or as tumor-suppressor genes and...

MicroRNAs as Diagnostic Biomarkers in Gastric Cancer

Considering the high mortality rates and the unfavorable prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) as well as the lack of a clinical predictive marker, which is sufficiently sensitive to GC, it is of great significance to investigate new sensitive and specific markers for GC diagnosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) could be a practical form of potential biomarkers in the diagnosis of human disease, and they are co...
