We found was significantly downregulated 73.8% CRC samples compared with adjacent noncancerous tissues (NCTs), decreased associated poor prognosis. Functional analyses...
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers and leading cause cancer-related deaths globally. The discovery microRNAs (miRNAs) provides a new avenue for GC diagnostic treatment regiments. Currently, large number miRNAs have been reported to be associated with progression GC, among which miR-378 has examined downregulated in tissues several cell lines. However, function on cells mechanisms were less known. Here we found that ectopic expression could inhibit proliferation, cycle...

Small nucleolar RNA host gene (SNHG) long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are frequently dysregulated in human cancers and involved tumorigenesis progression. SNHG17 has been reported as a candidate oncogene several cancer types, however, its regulatory role colorectal (CRC) is unclear.SNHG17 expression multiple CRC cohorts was assessed by RT-qPCR or bioinformatic analyses.
