<h3>Objective</h3> Distant metastasis is the major cause of cancer-related death in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Although microRNA-200 (miR-200) family a crucial inhibitor epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) human cancer, role miR-200 members pathogenesis metastatic CRC has not been investigated. <h3>Design</h3> Fifty-four pairs primary and corresponding matched liver tissue specimens were analysed for expression methylation status members. Functional analysis miR-200c...

Curcumin is known to possess potent antiinflammatory and antiarthritic properties. This pilot clinical study evaluated the safety effectiveness of curcumin alone, in combination with diclofenac sodium patients active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Forty‐five diagnosed RA were randomized into three groups receiving (500 mg) (50 alone or their combination. The primary endpoints reduction Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28. secondary included American College Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for tenderness...

Purpose: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Recently, a novel circular RNA, ciRS-7, was proposed to be potential miR-7 sponge. As miR-7, putative tumor-suppressor, regulates expression several important drivers colorectal cancer, we analyzed clinical significance ciRS-7 in patients.Experimental Design: Initially, evaluated levels training cohort comprising 153 primary tissues and 44 matched normal mucosae. We subsequently confirmed its relevance an...

Abstract Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths, but currently available noninvasive screening programs have achieved only a modest decrease in mortality. MicroRNAs (miRNA) play an important role wide array biological processes and are commonly dysregulated neoplasia. We aimed to evaluate feasibility fecal miRNAs as biomarkers for colorectal neoplasia screening. Materials Methods: Total RNA was extracted from freshly collected stool samples...

To evaluate the ability of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-related microRNAs (miRNAs) as serum biomarkers for prognosis and prediction metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).Epithelial-to-mesenchymal miRNAs drive CRC progression metastasis. However, their potential has not been studied.This was a 3-phase study using 446 specimens. In first phase, we selected candidate associated by analyzing expression 4 miR-200 family members (miR-200b, -200c, -141, -429) samples from 12...

Abstract Global downregulation of microRNAs (miRNA) is a common feature in colorectal cancer (CRC). Whereas CpG island hypermethylation constitutes mechanism for miRNA silencing, this field largely remains unexplored. Herein, we describe the epigenetic regulation miR-137 and its contribution to carcinogenesis. We determined methylation status panel six CRC cell lines 409 tissues [21 normal colonic mucosa from healthy individuals (N-N), 160 primary their corresponding (N-C), 68 adenomas]....

<h3>Objective</h3> Hypomethylation of LINE-1 elements has emerged as a distinguishing feature in human cancers. Limited evidence indicates that some encode an additional internal antisense promoter, and increased hypomethylation this region may lead to inadvertent activation evolutionarily methylation-silenced downstream genes. However, the significance fundamental epigenetic mechanism colorectal cancer (CRC) not been investigated previously. <h3>Design</h3> We analysed tissue specimens from...

The prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) patients with peritoneal dissemination remains poor, and a better understanding the underlying mechanisms is critical for development new treatments that will improve survival in these patients. This study aimed to clarify clinical biological role two key metastasis-associated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) GC. We analyzed expression levels lncRNAs-Metastasis-Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1 (MALAT1) HOX-Antisense Intergenic RNA (HOTAIR)-by...

Background: Systemic inflammation via host-tumor interactions is currently recognized as a hallmark of cancer. The aim this study was to evaluate the prognostic value various combinations inflammatory factors using preoperative blood, and assess clinical significance our newly developed score in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Method: In total 477 CRC patients from discovery validation cohorts were enrolled study. We assessed predictive impact for recurrence combination nine markers set,...

Rationale: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant tumor with the third highest morbidity rate among all cancers. Driven by host's genetic makeup and environmental exposures, gut microbiome its metabolites have been implicated as causes regulators of CRC pathogenesis. We assessed human fecal samples noninvasive unbiased surrogates to catalog microbiota metabolome in patients CRC. Methods: Fecal collected from (CRC group, n = 50) healthy volunteers (H were subjected (16S rRNA gene sequencing)...
