To investigate the inhibitory effects of microRNA-30d (miR-30d) on renal carcinoma cell proliferation and the underlying molecular mechanisms, miR-30d expression in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) specimens was analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The inhibition of the proliferation of miR-30d on renal carcinoma cells (ACHN cell line) was analyzed by MTT and colony formation as...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignant carcinoma that develops in men in Western countries. MicroRNA (miRNA) have the potential to be used as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the treatment of various cancers. We found significantly higher expression of miR-30d in 3 PCa cell lines (PC3, DU145 and LNCaP) compared with 2 normal prostate cell lines (RWPE-1 and PrSc) using miRNA mi...

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of different types of coating polymers such as Eudragit RL 30D, Eudragit RS 30D, Eudragit NE 30D, Surelease, and Kollicoat SR 30D on physical properties and release pattern of salbutamol sulphate (SS) pellets which were prepared by Extrusion-Spheronization technology. All the polymers used in coating solution were in aqueous dispersion fo...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Identification of novel biomarkers to identify acute heart failure (AHF) patients at high risk of mortality is an area of unmet clinical need. Recently, we reported that the baseline level of circulating miR-30d was associated with left ventricular remodeling in response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in advanced chronic heart failure patients. However, the role of circula...

Pleural malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a highly aggressive tumor that is typically related to asbestos exposure and has a latency of 20-60 years. Several microRNA contribute to MM initiation and progression, but the mechanisms are not clear. Here, we found that miR-30d is downregulated in the pleural MM cell line NCI-H2452, in the plasma of asbestos-exposed individuals, and in asbestos-exposed ...

The aberrant expression of miR-30d has been reported in several types of human malignancies. However, its biological function in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains largely unknown. In this study, we identified that miR‑30d was significantly downregulated in CRC tissues compared to that observed in normal controls as detected by RT‑qPCR analysis. Downregulation of miR‑30d was significantly associat...

BACKGROUND Biomarkers that predict response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in heart failure patients with dyssynchrony (HFDYS) would be clinically important. Circulating extracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as novel biomarkers that may also play important functional roles, but their relevance as markers for CRT response has not been examined. METHODS AND RESULTS Comprehen...

Rapid and accurate differential diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is crucial for timely interventions and the improvement of prognosis. However, this is difficult to achieve using current methods. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the suitability of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) as AMI biomarkers in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). miRNA profiling in plasm...

Oncomirs aremicroRNAs (miRNA) that acts as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Efficient identification of oncomirs remains a challenge. Here we report a novel, clinically guided genetic screening approach for the identification of oncomirs, identifying mir-30d through this strategy. mir-30d regulates tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, senescence, and migration. The chromosomal locus harbori...

The steadily increasing incidence of kidney injury is a significant threat to human health. The current tools available for the early detection of kidney injury, however, have limited sensitivity or specificity. Thus, the development of novel biomarkers to detect early kidney injury is of high importance. Employing mouse renal ischemia-reperfusion and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced renal injury a...
