The purpose of this study was to determine the expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FTX and analyze its prognostic and biological significance in colorectal cancer (CRC). A quantitative reverse transcription PCR was performed to detect the expression of long non-coding RNA FTX in 35 pairs of colorectal cancer and corresponding noncancerous tissues. The expression of long non-coding RNA FT...

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a key role in many important areas of epigenetics, stem cell biology, cancer, signaling and brain function. This emerging class of RNAs constitutes a large fraction of the transcriptome, with thousands of new lncRNAs reported each year. The molecular mechanisms of these RNAs are not well understood. Currently, very little structural data exist. We review the a...

background: bladder cancer (bc) is the most common genitourinary cancer in iranians with an unclear etiopathogenesis. long stress induced non-coding transcript 5 is a member of the 12-member family of long non-coding rnas, which is abundantly expressed in higher proliferative cells, as well as the cell vulnerable to cellular stress in response to chemical carcinogens. as variations in long non-...

background: bladder cancer (bc) is the most commonly diagnosed genitourinary cancer in iran, presented in both men and women. bc is a multifactorial trait resulting from the complex interaction between several genes and environmental factors. long stress-induced non-coding transcript 5 (lsinct5), a member of the long non-coding rnas, is abundantly expressed in high proliferative cells, as well ...
