چکیده

Although the functions of most of the identified microRNAs (miRNAs) have yet to be determined, their use as potential biomarkers has been considered in several human diseases and cancers. In order to understand their role in renal tumorigenesis, we screened the expression levels of miRNAs in four subtypes of human renal neoplasms: clear cell, papillary, and chromophobe renal cell carcinomas (RCC) as well as benign renal oncocytomas. We found a unique miRNA signature for each subtype of renal tumor. Furthermore, we identified unique patterns of miRNA expression distinguishing clear cell RCC cases with favorable vs. unfavorable outcome. Specifically, we documented the overexpression of miRs 424 and 203 in clear cell RCC relative to papillary RCC, as well as the inversion of expression of miR-203 in the benign oncocytomas (where it is underexpressed relative to normal kidney) as compared to the malignant chromophobe RCC (where it is overexpressed relative to normal kidney). Our results further suggest that overexpression of S-has-miR-32 is associated with poor outcome. While previous studies have identified unique miRNA expression pattern distinguishing tumors from different anatomical locations, here we extend this principle to demonstrate the utility of miRNA expression profiling to identify a signature unique to various tumor subtypes at a single anatomic locus.

MicroRNA–mRNA interactions underlying colorectal cancer molecular subtypes

Colorectal cancer (CRC) transcriptional subtypes have been recently identified by gene expression profiling. Here we describe an analytical pipeline, microRNA master regulator analysis (MMRA), developed to search for microRNAs potentially driving CRC subtypes. Starting from a microRNA-mRNA tumour expression data set, MMRA identifies candidate regulator microRNAs by assessing their subtype-speci...

MDMA Abuse in Relation to MicroRNA Variation in Human Brain Ventral Tegmental Area and Nucleus Accumbens

Aim 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is one of the most widespread illegal drugs, used particularly by young people in the 15-34 age group. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenously synthesized, non-coding and small RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate their target genes’ expression by inhibiting protein translation or degradation. miRNAs are increasingly implicated in drug-related...

Human Cancer Biology Integrated MicroRNA Network Analyses Identify a Poor-Prognosis Subtype of Gastric Cancer Characterized by the miR-200 Family

Purpose: Our aim was to investigate whether microRNAs can predict the clinical outcome of patients with gastric cancer. We used integrated analysis of microRNA and mRNA expression profiles to identify gastric cancer microRNA subtypes and their underlying regulatory scenarios. Experimental Design:MicroRNA-based gastric cancer subtypes were identified by consensus clustering analysis ofmicroRNApr...
