Serum miR-26a as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in cholangiocarcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to determine the diagnostic and prognostic value of miR-26a in Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), we compared miR-26a levels in serum from 66 CCA patients and 66 healthy controls, which was followed by serum analysis between the pre-operative serum and post-operative serum of these CCA patients. We found the concentration levels of miR-26a in serum of CCA patients were significantly higher than that from healthy controls (P < 0.01). Furthermore, the concentration levels of miR-26a in the post-operative serum were significantly reduced when compared to the pre-operative serum (P < 0.001). High miR-26a in serum was correlated significantly with clinical stage, distant metastasis, differentiation status, and poor survival of CCA patients. More importantly, serum miR-26a was an independent prognostic marker for CCA. In conclusion, our results suggested that miR-26a in serum might be a potential and useful noninvasive biomarker for the early detection of CCA.

Retraction note: Down-regulation of microRNA-26a and up-regulation of microRNA-27a contributes to aggressive progression of human osteosarcoma
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy with high local aggressiveness and rapid metastasizing potential, resulting in poor survival. Increasing reports suggest that deregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) might provide novel therapeutic targets for cancers. However, the expression of miR-26a and miR-27a in osteosarcoma need further investigation in clinical samples. In our st...

The functional roles and clinical significances of miR-590-3p in ICC remain unclear. In the current study, we investigated the expression of miR-590-3p in tissues and sera of ICC by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. We found miR-590-3p was significantly down-regulated in the sera and tissues of ICC patients, especially in those patients with lymph node metastasis or distant meta...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS KRT19 was identified as one of the key biomarkers for distinguishing cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and hepatocellular carcinoma. The detailed role of miRNAs involved in the oncogenic incident of KRT19 was poor investigated. RESULTS Based on prediction and validation, miR-26a was inversely correlated with KRT19 in patients' tissues samples and biopsies. Ectopic expression of miR...
متن کاملOmega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Upregulate 15-PGDH Expression in Cholangiocarcinoma Cells by Inhibiting miR-26a/b Expression.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a proinflammatory lipid mediator that promotes cancer growth. The 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) catalyzes oxidation of the 15(S)-hydroxyl group of PGE2, leading to its inactivation. Therefore, 15-PGDH induction may offer a strategy to treat cancers that are driven by PGE2, such as human cholangiocarcinoma. Here, we report that omega-3 polyunsaturated...
متن کاملDownregulation of serum miR-26a predicts poor clinical outcome of papillary thyroid carcinoma
Deregulation of miRNAs has been demonstrated to play an important role in the initiation and development of many types of cancers including papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Currently the role of miR-26a and its potential clinical significance for PTC remains unknown. Eighty-four PTC patients and forty healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was perfo...
