Evaluation of MicroRNA-99a and MicroRNA-205 Expression Levels in Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer is the second most common cancer in the genitourinary tract, showing often recurrence and progresse into invasive states. Epigenetic changes, such as microRNA alteration are involved in bladder cancer tumorigenesis through a variety of signaling pathways. The epigenetic state depends on geographic and lifestyle conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression l...

MicroRNA-155 and MicroRNA-21 promote the expansion of functional myeloid-derived suppressor cells.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are one of the main cell populations that negatively regulate immune responses. However, the mechanism underlying the expansion of MDSC remains unclear. Using miRNA microarray and TaqMan probe-based quantitative RT-PCR assay, we identified microRNA (miR)-155 and miR-21 as the two most upregulated miRNAs during the induction of MDSC from the bone marrow ce...

Silencing MicroRNA-155 Ameliorates

MicroRNA-155 and macrophages: a fatty liaison.

The inflammatory activation of lipid-loaded macrophages in the arterial intima plays a major role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The unrestricted uptake of oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) via scavenger receptors results in the storage of cholesterol esters in lipid droplets in macrophages due to the limited efflux of free cholesterol. However, free cholesterol can ...
