This study investigated the effect of miR-101 on proliferation, migration, invasion, and chemotherapy sensitivity in colon cancer cell lines HT-29 and RKO. MicroRNAs are a class of small noncoding RNA molecules, which play important roles in diverse biological processes of human cancers, such as carcinogenesis, development, differentiation, and apoptosis. The expression of miR-101 in colon canc...

Increasing evidence demonstrates that microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs), a type of non-coding small RNA, can regulate tumor cell migration, invasion and metastasis, and may therefore serve a major function in the occurrence and development of tumors. The present study investigated the effect of miR-383 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of colon cancer HT-29 and LoVo cell lines. The expression ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. However, a biomarker for a sensitive and simple diagnostic test and highly effective target therapy of CRC is still clinically unavailable. This study is to investigate the evidence and significance of plasma GPC1 positive exosomes as a biomarker of CRC. Results showed that GPC1+ exosomes were successfully i...

BACKGROUND Osteosarcomas are the most common primary malignant tumors of bone and show multiple and complex genomic aberrations. miRNAs are non-coding RNAs capable of regulating gene expression at the post transcriptional level, and miRNAs and their target genes may represent novel therapeutic targets or biomarkers for osteosarcoma. In order to investigate the involvement of miRNAs in osteosarc...

Abstract Background Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. PCAT is source microRNAs (miRs) that acts as messengers for intercellular communication. In this study, we investigated whether surrounding coronary occlusive atherosclerotic lesions shows specific miR expression patterns compared to plaque-free segments. Purpose To evaluate miRs are ...
