objective(s): although low-dose radiotherapy (rt) that involves low collateral damage is more suitable for hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) than traditional high-dose rt, but to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effect with low-dose rt, it is necessary to sensitize hcc cells to irradiation. this study was aimed to determine whether radiosensitivity of hcc cells can be enhanced using mir-26b by tar...

Background: MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is upregulated during T cell activation, but the exact mechanisms by which it influences CD4+ T cell activation remain unclear. Objective: To examine whether the B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) is a target of miR-155 during naïve CD4+ T cell activation. Methods: Firefly luciferase reporter plasmids pEZX-MT01-wild-type-BTLA and pEZX-MT01-mutant-BTLA were ...

Objective(s): Various studies have been conducted to reduce the metastatic behavior of cancerous cells. In this regard, ectopic expression of anti-metastatic microRNAs by miR-mimic and miR-restoration-based therapies could bring new insights to the field. In the present study, the consequences of co-transfecting breast cancer cell lines with miR-193b and miR-31 were investigated via invasion an...

Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed in an advanced stage and associated with a high mortality rate. It assumed that early detection of ovarian could improve patient outcomes. Unfortunately, effective screening methods for diagnosis are still lacking. Extracellular RNAs circulating human biofluids can reliably be measured emerging as potential biomarkers cancer. In this systematic review, we prese...
