While decades of research have identified molecular pathways inducing and promoting stages of prostate cancer malignancy, studies addressing dynamic changes of cancer-related regulatory factors in a prostate tumor progression model are limited. Using the TRAMP mouse model of human prostate cancer, we address mechanisms of deregulation for the cancer-associated transcription factors, Runx1 and R...

The objective of this study was to identify a panel of microRNAs (miRNAs) differentially expressed in high-grade non-muscle invasive (NMI; TaG3-T1G3) urothelial carcinoma that progress to muscle-invasive disease compared to those that remain non-muscle invasive, whether recurrence happens or not. Eighty-nine high-grade NMI urothelial carcinoma lesions were identified and total RNA was extracted...

BACKGROUND Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life threatening hyper inflammatory disease. Micro RNAs (miRNA) are about 22 nucleotide-long, small RNAs encoded with genes, and they have regulatory functions in immune response. OBJECTIVE To determine the miRNA expression levels of 11 secondary HLH patients, we evaluated the associations of miRNA levels with pathogenesis, clinical pre...

Purpose: Chronic stress represents a critical influence on ageing of Leydig cells in testis. We aimed to investigate expression changes of microRNA (miRNA) associated with stress-induced ageing in Leydig cells. Methods: Brown Norway rats were separated into three groups, young control group, stress group and age group. Physiological changes, including serum corticosterone and testosterone level...

BACKGROUND MicroRNAs can play an important role in tumorigenesis through post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, and are not well characterized in follicular lymphoma. DESIGN AND METHODS MicroRNA profiles of enriched follicular lymphoma tumor cells from 16 patients were generated by assaying 851 human microRNAs. Tandem gene expression profiles were obtained for predicting microRNA...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, conserved RNAs known to regulate several biological processes by influencing gene expression in eukaryotes. The implication of miRNAs as another player of regulatory layers during heart development and diseases has recently been explored. However, there is no study which elucidates the profiling of miRNAs during development of heart till date. Very limited miRNAs h...

The management of cerebral glioma (CG) remains challenging. Recently, methods based on the study expression levels miRNAs in blood plasma have proven to be promising. volume tumor tissue is known correlate with increased microRNA-21 and -210. MicroRNA-15, -16, -34, -126 -342 are involved regulation proliferative potential, microRNA-128 metabolic activity. aim was evaluate extended protocol for ...
