Abstract:

Circulating microRNAs have been recognized as promising biomarkers for the detection of lung cancer. The objective of this study was to evaluate miR-10b, miR-1 and, miR-30a in the plasma samples of lung cancer patients to confirm any possible relevance in the early detection of lung cancer. Plasma samples from 47 non-small-cell lung cancer patients and 41 cancer-free subjects were evaluated for selected microRNAs using the real-time PCR method. To evaluate the tobacco smoking effects on microRNAs expression, the studied groups were categorized into two subgroups: never-smokers and smokers. MiR-1/miR-30a expression levels were significantly reduced in lung cancer, while the miR-10b level was significantly elevated. We found that smoking had significant effects on the levels of circulating microRNAs in the smokers of the cancer-free group (a significant up-regulation of miR-10b and significant down-regulation of miR-1/miR-30a), and lung cancer patients (a significant elevation of miR-10b). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that miR-10b with an area under the curve of 0.861, and miR-1/miR-30a with values of0.905 and 0.889 for the same parameter, could distinguish non-small-cell lung cancer patients from cancer-free subjects. Our findings demonstrated significant differences in the expression of microRNAs in lung cancer and the considerable effects of smoking on microRNAs levels. Area under curve analysis showed that miR-10b with 78% sensitivity/78% specificity, miR-1 with 95% sensitivity/80% specificity and miR-30a with 87% sensitivity/83% specificity,might be good (miR-10b/miR-30a) and excellent (miR-1) markers for lung cancer detection.

miR-30a suppresses lung cancer progression by targeting SIRT1

The class III histone deacetylase silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) is frequently overexpressed in a variety of tumors, including lung cancer; however, its regulatory mechanisms are largely unknown. In this study, we found that an inconsistent trend between SIRT1 protein and mRNA levels in human lung cancer tissues, suggesting that a post-transcriptional mechanism may involved in SIRT1 reg...

Evaluation of miR-141, miR-200c, miR-30b Expression and Clinicopathological Features of Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer (BC) ranks the second most common genitourinary tract malignant tumor with high mortality and 70% recurrence rate worldwide. MiRNAs expression has noticeable role in bladder tumorigenesis. The purpose of this study was to assess miR-200c, miR-30b and miR-141 in tissue samples of patients with BC and healthy adjacent tissue samples and their association with muscle invasion, grade...

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...

Expression of miR-590 in lung cancer and its correlation with prognosis

The study aim was to evaluate the association of the expression of serum microribonucleic acid-590 (miR-590) with the risk of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), clinicopathological staging and prognosis. A total of 237 patients with LUSC and 100 healthy volunteers (control group) were included in the study. Total RNA was extracted from the peripheral blood serum of the subjects, and the expre...

Downregulation of MiR-30a is Associated with Poor Prognosis in Lung Cancer

BACKGROUND Recent reports have suggested that miR-30a plays a tumor-suppressive role in various cancers. However, miR-30a has not been completely studied in non-small lung cancer (NSCLC). Thus, the aim of the present study was to clarify the association between the expression of miR-30a and the clinicopathological features in NSCLC patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Total RNA of miR-30a was extra...

Expression Analysis of mir-21 and mir-221 in Cancerous Tissues from Iranian Patients with Gastric Cancer

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 extra...
