Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) serve a role in the occurrence and development of lung cancer. The aim of the present study was to analyze the expression and function of the proliferation-associated miR-383-5p in lung adenocarcinoma (LAC). Samples of human LAC and matched adjacent normal lung tissues were surgically removed, and...

Lung cancer is the most common cause of deaths among all cancers around the world and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 85% of all lung cancer cases. In this study, we investigated the expression level of miR-383 and its biological function in NSCLC. Firstly, we observed miR-383 down-regulation and HDAC2 up-regulation in NSCLC by qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectivel...

Increasing evidence demonstrates that microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs), a type of non-coding small RNA, can regulate tumor cell migration, invasion and metastasis, and may therefore serve a major function in the occurrence and development of tumors. The present study investigated the effect of miR-383 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of colon cancer HT-29 and LoVo cell lines. The expression ...

Anesthesia-induced cognitive impairment is a recognized clinical phenomenon. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of microRNA-383 (miR-383) expression on propofol-induced learning and memory impairment. In total, 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats (weight, 250±10 g) were randomly divided into four groups (n=12 each): Control group, and three groups of rats that were anesthetized with prop...

Type 1 iodothyronine deiodinase (DIO1) catalyses the conversion of prohormone thyroxine to the active thyroid hormone 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T3), important regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation. DIO1 expression is reduced in the most common type of kidney neoplasia, clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC). MicroRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at pos...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Transplantation of bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been used to treat spinal cord injury (SCI) to enhance tissue repair and neural cell regeneration. Glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is an identified neural growth and survival factor. Here, we examined whether modification of GDNF levels in MSCs may further increase the potential of MSCs i...
