The purpose of the present study was to determine whether burn-induced changes in various components of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system are mediated by the actions of endogenous glucocorticoids or tumor necrosis factor (TNF). To address this aim, a 30% total body surface area full-thickness scald burn was produced in anesthetized rats, and the animals were studied 24 h later. Separa...

PURPOSE Retinoblastoma (RB), a primary pediatric intraocular tumor, arises from primitive retinal layers. Several novel molecular strategies are being developed for the clinical management of RB. miRNAs are known to regulate cancer-relevant biological processes. Here, the role of selected miRNAs, namely, miR-532-5p and miR-486-3p, has been analyzed for potential therapeutic targeting in RB. M...

BackgroundEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a malignancy usually associated with smoking or alcohol consumption. The involvement of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the regulation tumor development and metastasis through molecular mechanisms has been unveiled by accumulating evidence. However, function lncRNA SUMO1 Pseudogene 3 (lncSUMO1P3) essential to ESCC remains obscure.MethodsRe...
