abstract

background: early detection is a key to survival for gastric cancer. molecular markers such as mirna (microrna) can have great importance in the early diagnosis of gastric cancer. expression of mir-21 and mir-221 are deregulated in many types of human cancers. this study aimed to investigate the differences in mirna expression patterns within the iranian population. methods: total rna was extracted from gastric cancer tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues from 32 patients. expression levels of mir-21 and mir-221 were detected by real time rt-pcr using a specific primer, with 5s rrna as the internal reference gene. results: our data showed that the expression levels of mir-21 and mir-221 in gastric cancer samples were significantly higher than in paired non-cancerous samples (p < 0.05). the receiver operating characteristic (roc) analyses yielded the area under the curve (auc) values of 80.30 for mir-21 and 93.30 for mir-221, and combined roc analysis revealed the highest auc value of 96.90 in discriminating gc patients from healthy controls. conclusion: it seems that mir-21 and mir-221 expression pattern in iranian patients with gastric cancer are similar to any other population. considering the increased expression level of two mirnas in cancerous tissue compared to normal tissue as well as the area under roc curve, mir-21 and mir-221 can be used for early detection of gastric cancer.

Elevated expression of mature miR-21 and miR-155 in cancerous gastric tissues from Chinese patients with gastric cancer

OBJECTIVE MicroRNA (miRNA) expression is deregulated in many types of human cancers. We sought to investigate the expression patterns of the miRNAs, miR-21, miR-145 and miR-155 in sporadic gastric cancer in a Chinese population. METHODS Total RNA was extracted from archived gastric cancer tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues from 20 pairs of paraffin-embedded specimens. Expression level...

Expression Profiles of miR-93 and miR-330 in Iranian Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Background and Aims: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common adult human leukemia. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Research has shown that in CLL, microRNAs can have function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Some studies demonstrated that the expression of microRNA-93 (miR-93) and microRNA-330 (miR-330) have been changed in several can...

miR-21, miR-221 and miR-222 expression and prostate cancer recurrence among obese and non-obese cases.

Recent evidence shows that certain microRNAs (miRNAs) play a role in both obesity and prostate cancer recurrence, but the association between the expression of these miRNAs and obesity in prostate cancer recurrence is unknown. In this study, we examined the effect of the interaction between obesity and miR-21, miR-221 or miR-222 expression on prostate cancer recurrence among 28 recurrent and 37...

Expression Analysis of Cellular Mir-29a and mir-29b in HIV Positive Patients

Abstract &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Background and Objective: Various cellular factors affect the process of HIV activity. One of these cellular factors are structures known as microRN that are expected to be involved in controlling HIV replication and infectivity. The expression of one or a set of them may represent the patient's clinical conditions. In this study,&nbsp;...
