Abstract:

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among deadliest cancers all over the world. Regarding its high mortality, some researches have focused to discover new applicable diagnosis methods. In this regard, circulatory miRNAs has been received huge consideration as promising biomarkers for early detection of CRC. The study aimed to evaluate the expression level of miRNA-7, miRNA-93, and miRNA-409 in plasma of CRC patients compared to healthy controls. According to the results, miRNA-7 and miRNA-409 were significantly upregulated in plasma of CRC patients (p< 0.05) while miRNA-93 was insignificantly elevated in CRC patients (p> 0.05). Therefore, it seems that upregulation of miRNA-7, miRNA-93, and miRNA-409 is involved in CRC carcinogenesis. Additionally, miRNA-7 and miRNA-409 could be considered as novel potential biomarkers for CRC.

Detection of miRNA as Non-Invasive Biomarkers of Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is one of the deadliest cancers-ranking as the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. It is such a deadly disease because it is largely asymptomatic until the latter stages-oftentimes when the cancer has metastasized. Thus, a huge emphasis of cancer treatment is placed on early detection. Currently, there is a lack of a noninvasive, reliable, and...

Cell-free Circulating miRNA Biomarkers in Cancer

Considerable attention and an enormous amount of resources have been dedicated to cancer biomarker discovery and validation. However, there are still a limited number of useful biomarkers available for clinical use. An ideal biomarker should be easily assayed with minimally invasive medical procedures but possess high sensitivity and specificity. Commonly used circulating biomarkers are protein...

Integrative Analysis of miRNA-mRNA and miRNA-miRNA Interactions

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding regulatory molecules. They are involved in many essential biological processes and act by suppressing gene expression. The present work reports an integrative analysis of miRNA-mRNA and miRNA-miRNA interactions and their regulatory patterns using high-throughput miRNA and mRNA datasets. Aberrantly expressed miRNA and mRNA profiles were obtained based on f...

miRNA nanotherapeutics for cancer.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression through diverse mechanisms. Increasing evidence suggests that miRNA-based therapies, either restoring or repressing miRNA expression and activity, hold great promise. However, the efficient delivery of miRNAs to target tissues is a major challenge in the transition of miRNA therapy to the clinic. Cationic polymers or v...

Identification of miRNA-21 and miRNA-24 in plasma as potential early stage markers of acute cerebral infarction.

This study investigated the role of microRNA-21 (miR-21) and microRNA-24 (miR-24) in the pathological processes that follow cerebral ischemic injury and examined the potential use of miR-21 and -24 in stroke diagnostics as sensitive plasma biomarkers. An oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model was constructed using mouse N2A neuroblastoma cells (N2A). Western blot analysis and quantitative polym...

Evaluation of the miRNA-146a and miRNA-155 Expression Levels in Patients with Oral Lichen Planus

Background: Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic autoimmune disease that could be considered as a potential premalignant status. Objective: To evaluate the miRNA-146a and miRNA-155 expression levels in patients with oral Lichen planus lesions compared to healthy subjects with normal oral mucosa. Methods: Forty patients with oral lichen planus and 18 healthy age and gender-matched controls were...
