A myocardial bridge (MB) that partially covers the course of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) sometimes causes ischemia, primarily because hemodynamic deterioration, but without atherosclerosis. However, mechanism occurrence infarction (MI) as a result an MB in patients with spontaneously developing atherosclerosis is unclear.One hundred consecutive autopsied MI hearts either MBs [MI(+)MB(+) group; n=46] or (n=54) were obtained, 200 normal hearts, 100 [MI(-)MB(+) group] and...

Our present study of the microRNA (miRNA) expression signature in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) revealed that clustered miRNAs microRNA-221 (miR-221) and microRNA-222 (miR-222) are significantly downregulated tissues. The aim this was to investigate functional roles miR-221 miR-222 (PCa) cells.A CRPC miRNA constructed by PCR-based array methods. Functional studies differentially expressed were analysed using PCa cells. association between overall survival estimated Kaplan-Meier...

In the human genome, miR-451a, miR-144-5p (passenger strand), and miR-144-3p (guide strand) reside in clustered microRNA (miRNA) sequences located within 17q11.2 region. Low expression of these miRNAs is significantly associated with poor prognosis patients renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (miR-451a: P = .00305; miR-144-5p: .00128; miR-144-3p: 9.45 × 10-5 ). We previously reported that miR-451a acted as an antitumor miRNA RCC cells. Involvement passenger strand miR-144 duplex pathogenesis not well...

Despite recent advancements, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is not considered curative. Novel approaches for identification of therapeutic targets CRPC are needed. Next-generation sequencing revealed 945–1248 miRNAs from each lethal mCRPC sample. We constructed miRNA expression signatures by comparing the between and normal tissue or hormone-sensitive (HSPC). Genome-wide gene studies in silico analyses were carried out to predict regulation investigate functional...

Neuronal function and innervation density is regulated by target organ-derived neurotrophic factors. Although cardiac hypertrophy drastically alternates the expression of various growth factors such as endothelin-1, angiotensin II, leukemia inhibitory factor, little known about nerve factor its effect on sympathetic nerves. This study investigated impact pressure overload-induced cellular nerves, including kinetics norepinephrine synthesis reuptake, neuronal gene expression. Right...

Molecular targeted therapy is a standard treatment for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Sunitinib one of the most common molecular-targeted drugs metastatic RCC. mechanisms sunitinib resistance in RCC cells still ambiguous. The microRNA (miRNA) expression signature failure was constructed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based array. Several miRNAs that were aberrantly expressed tissues from treated identified this analysis. MicroRNA-101 (miR- 101) markedly suppressed...
