miRNA-29c Suppresses Lung Cancer Cell Adhesion to Extracellular Matrix and Metastasis by Targeting Integrin β1 and Matrix Metalloproteinase2 (MMP2)
Our pilot study using miRNA arrays found that miRNA-29c (miR-29c) is differentially expressed in the paired low-metastatic lung cancer cell line 95C compared to the high-metastatic lung cancer cell line 95D. Bioinformatics analysis shows that integrin β1 and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) could be important target genes of miR-29c. Therefore, we hypothesized that miR-29c suppresses lung canc...
متن کاملBiomarkers for epithelial ovarian cancers.
Epithelial carcinoma of the ovary is one of the most common gynecological malignancies and the fifth most frequent cause of cancer death in women. Currently blood test of advanced epithelial tumors are reflected in a high level of CA 125 antigen. However, it is not a good marker for early stage tumors, and may yield false positives. Clearly, there is a need for better understanding of the molec...
متن کاملThe Role of TWIST in Ovarian Epithelial Cancers
BACKGROUND Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with tumor hypoxia. EMT is regulated, in part, by the action of TWIST, which inhibits of E-cadherin expression and may interfere with the p53 tumor-suppressor pathway. METHODS We examined the expression of TWIST, E-cadherin, hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α), and p53 by immunohistochemistry in 123 cases of ovarian epithelial c...
متن کاملImmunoexpression and prognostic role of p53 in different subtypes of epithelial ovarian carcinoma
We sought to investigate the significance of p53 expression for epithelial ovarian carcinoma. In this study, we used immunohistochemical method to investigate the expression patterns of p53 in different subtypes of epithelial ovarian carcinoma. We found that the expressions of p53 protein in epithelial ovarian cancer (pituita, serosity and intima) were 88.9%, 75% and 100%, respectively, while t...
متن کاملModelling genetic and clinical heterogeneity in epithelial ovarian cancers.
The biology underlying early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) development is poorly understood. Identifying biomarkers associated with early-stage disease could have a significant impact on reducing mortality. Here, we describe establishment of a three-dimensional (3D) in vitro genetic model of EOC initiation and early-stage neoplastic progression. Normal primary ovarian epithelial (POE) c...
