Abstract Esophageal cancer is the sixth leading cause of death from and one least studied cancers worldwide. The global microRNA expression profile esophageal has not been reported previously. Here, for first time, we have investigated expressed microRNAs in cryopreserved tissues using advanced microarray techniques. Our analyses identified seven that could distinguish malignant lesions adjacent normal tissues. Some be correlated with different clinicopathologic classifications. High...

Recent studies have suggested that microRNA biomarkers could be useful for stratifying lung cancer subtypes, but signatures varied between different populations. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one major subtype of urgently needs to aid patient management. Here, we undertook the first comprehensive investigation on in Chinese SCC patients.MicroRNA expression was measured cancerous and noncancerous tissue pairs strictly collected from patients (stages I-III), who had not been treated with...

microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and play important roles in tumor initiation progression. Recently, we examined global miRNA profile of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) demonstrated that miR-92a was highly expressed tissues. In this study, found up-regulation significantly correlated with status lymph node metastasis TNM stage 107 ESCC patients. Moreover, associated poor survival patients might be used as an independent prognostic...

Background Alternative pre-mRNA splicing (AS) plays a central role in generating complex proteomes and influences development disease. However, the regulation etiology of AS human tumorigenesis is not well understood. Methodology/Principal Findings A Basic Local Alignment Search Tool database was constructed for expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from all available databases cancer normal tissues. An insertion or deletion alignment EST/EST used to identify alternatively spliced transcripts. ESTs...

Abstract Bladder cancer (BC) is very common and associated with significant morbidity mortality, though the molecular underpinnings of its origination progression remain poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that Prohibitin 1 (PHB) was overexpressed in human BC tissues PHB upregulation poor prognosis. We also found necessary sufficient for cell proliferation. Interestingly, primarily within mitochondria, provide first direct evidence phosphorylation by Akt at Thr258 induces...

Sepsis is a common life-threatening pathology. This study investigated the role of transcription factor sex-determining region Y (SRY)-box 9 (SOX9) in sepsis-induced cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. A murine model sepsis was established, followed by detection cardiac functions and myocardial injury. HL-1 mouse cardiomyocytes were induced lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The levels interleukin (IL)-18, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-6, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) tissues...

Lung cancer remains the most common cause of death for malignancy in both men and women. Current therapies NSCLC patients are inefficient due to lack diagnostic therapeutic markers. The phospho-Ser/Thr-Pro specific prolyl-isomerase Pin1 is overexpressed many different cancers, including NSCLC, may possibly be used as a target therapy. We identified 79 cases with follow-up survival investigated clinical relevance expression patients. To validate oncogenic potential lung cells, we Glc82...

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Oxaliplatin first-line chemotherapeutic agent for treatment advanced colorectal cancer. However, acquired resistance to oxaliplatin limits its therapeutic efficacy, and underlying mechanism remains largely unclear. In this study, we compared expression a panel microRNAs (miRNAs) between oxaliplatin-sensitive -resistant HCT-116 cells. We found that miR-454-3p was significantly up-regulated in oxaliplatin-resistant cells...
