Thyroid cancer is the most common type of endocrine tumor. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in a variety of diseases, especially cancer occurrence and progression. However, the specific mechanism by which miRNAs trigger disease states has not been fully elucidated. This study aims to investigate the role of miR-27a in thyroid cancer cells. A wound healing assay was adopted to examine ... more

Long non-coding RNA ENST00000457645 reverses cisplatin resistance in CP70 ovarian cancer cells.

Antineoplastic Agents; Apoptosis; Cell Line, Tumor; Cell proliferation; Cell survival; Cisplatin; Drug Resistance, Neoplasm; Female; Humans; Ovarian Neoplasms; RNA, Long Noncoding

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of downregulating long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) on the reversal of cisplatin resistance in CP70 ovarian cancer cells, and to identify the underlying mechanism(s) of action. An lncRNA microarray was performed to screen for downregulated lncRNAs in cisplatin-resistant CP70 cells. Expression levels of these lncRNAs were then verified in ... more

Relationship between lymphocyte DNA fragmentation and dose of iron oxide (FeO) and silicon oxide (SiO) nanoparticles.

Animals; DNA damage; DNA Fragmentation; Female; Ferric Compounds; Humans; Lipid peroxidation; Lymphocytes; Metal Nanoparticles; Oxidative stress; Rats; Reactive oxygen species; Silicon Dioxide

At present, the use of nanoparticles is a controversial topic, especially when analyzing their effects in human tissues. Nanoparticles (NPs) can cause oxidative stress by increasing membrane lipids peroxidation and reactive oxygen species, and decreasing intracellular glutathione. Oxidative stress plays an important role in cell signaling and inflammatory responses. It can result in ... more

Migration and invasion enhancer 1 (MIEN1) is overexpressed in breast cancer and is a potential new therapeutic molecular target.

Breast neoplasms; Female; Gene expression; Humans; Intracellular Signaling Peptides and Proteins; Kaplan-Meier Estimate; Neoplasm Metastasis; Neoplasm Proteins; Neoplasm Staging; Prognosis

Migration and invasion enhancer 1 (MIEN1) is a membrane-anchored protein that is highly expressed in various types of cancer, and is correlated with the PI3K/AKT pathway. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of MIEN1 and its clinical pathological significance in breast cancer. We used immunohistochemical staining to examine the expression of MIEN1 in 40 samples of human ... more

Cervical cancer is a common female malignancy of global dimensions. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in the development, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis of tumors. The non-coding RNA MALAT1 participates in various physiological processes that are important for proper functioning of the body. Here, we analyzed the expression of miRNA-143 and MALAT1 in HeLa cells to evaluate ... more

Is differential expression of p16INK4a based on the classification of uterine smooth muscle tumors associated with a different prognosis? A meta-analysis.

Biomarkers, Tumor; Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor p16; Female; Genes, p16; Genetic predisposition to disease; Humans; Leiomyoma; Leiomyosarcoma; Neoplasm Recurrence, Local; Prognosis; Smooth Muscle Tumor; Uterine Neoplasms

We conducted a meta-analysis to examine p16INK4a expression in uterine smooth muscle tumors (USMTs). Although the prognostic value of tumor suppressor p16INK4a has been elucidated in a variety of cancers and precancerous lesions, its role in USMTs is not well established. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase for publication son p16INK4a expression in USMTs. Strict inclusion and ... more

MiR-200c inhibits metastasis of breast tumor via the downregulation of Foxf2.

Breast neoplasms; Cadherins; Cell Line, Tumor; Cell Movement; Down-regulation; Female; Forkhead Transcription Factors; Gene Expression Regulation, Neoplastic; Humans; MicroRNAs; RNA, Messenger; Zinc Finger E-box-Binding Homeobox 1

The forkhead box F2 (Foxf2) gene suppresses epithelial-mesenchymal transition via the modulation of transcription of zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 (Zeb1) and epithelial (E)-cadherin, thereby inhibiting tumor metastasis. Additionally, the specific binding of microRNA (miR)-200c to Foxf2 mRNA impedes metastatic pulmonary cancer. However, the role of miR-200c in breast cancer is still ... more
