Increasing studies have shown that MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in the progression of lung carcinoma. In the present study, the expression and functions of miR-570 were investigated. We found that miR-570 was significantly up-regulated in lung cancer tissues, compared with adjacent non-cancerous tissues. In vitro studies further showed that miR-570 mimics could promote, while its anti...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, and this makes it an attractive disease to review and possibly improve therapeutic treatment options. Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, targeted treatments, and immunotherapy separate or in combination are commonly used to treat lung cancer. However, these treatment types may cause different side effects, and chemotherapy-based regime...

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...

the sequestration of rat leukocytes and bone marrow cells by the lung vasculature was studied using an isolated perfused rat lung preparation. the passage of latex particles of 7.6 µm in diameter and non-hematopoietic cells through the lung blood vessels was also studied. leukocytes and bone marrow cells were reversibly sequestered from circulation, whereas, latex particles and non-hematopoieti...

Rising awareness about the ecological burden of agricultural by-products and their potential industrial medicinal applications spurred research waste valorization. Egypt is a chief producer jasmine oils. However, jasmine-dense foliage an that merits exploitation. Herein, Jasminum grandiflorum leaves were profiled using UPLC-MS, revealing promising phytochemical composition rich in secoiridoids....

This study was designed to clarify the function of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in the development of lung cancer by investigating the mutation and protein expression of the Cav-1 gene in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Quantum dot immunofluorescence histochemistry was used to evaluate Cav-1 protein expression and subcellular localization in the lung cancer tissue microarray including 140 cases of...

INTRODUCTION Expression levels of miR-146b-5p and -3p microRNAs in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are associated with recurrence of the disease after surgery. To understand this, the effect of miR-146b overexpression was studied in A549 human lung cancer cells. METHODS A549 cells, engineered with lentiviruses to overexpress the human pre-miR-146b precursor microRNA, were examined fo...
