Prognostic Impact of let-7e MicroRNA and Its Target Genes in Localized High-Risk Intestinal GIST: A Spanish Group for Research on Sarcoma (GEIS) Study
2020
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, and they have been described as being associated with tumor prognosis. Here, miRNA profiling was planned to explore new molecular prognostic biomarkers in localized intestinal high-risk GIST. Paraffin tumor blocks of 14 and 86 patients were used in the discovery and expansion sets, respectively. GeneChip miRNA v3.0 was employed to identify the miRNAs differentially expressed between relapsed and non-relapsed patient samples, which were validated in the expansion set, by qRT-PCR. RT2 Profiler PCR Array was used for the screening of let-7e targets. Expression levels were co…
MiRNA profiling by NGS in resectable non-small cell lung cancer: Prognostic implications.
2014
7559 Background: MicroRNAs (miRNA) regulate gene expression, and are implicated in several processes like tumorogenesis. Here, we applied a multiplexed NGS approach to study differentially expressed miRNAs (tumor/ normal) in a cohort of resectable NSCLC patients and its correlation with clinical outcome. Methods: RNA was isolated from frozen lung specimens (tumor/ normal) from 33 patients. High-quality samples were analyzed and enriched in the miRNA fraction. Libraries were prepared according to manufactured instruction (SOLID), and miRNAs were sequenced. Data analysis was carried out using CLCbio software. First, raw data were annotated using miRBase and normalized by total reads followed …
miRNA detection methods and clinical implications in lung cancer
2014
[EN] Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Therefore, advances in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease are urgently needed. miRNAs are a family of small, noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the transcriptional level. miRNAs have been reported to be deregulated and to play a critical role in different types of cancer, including lung cancer. Thus, miRNA profiling in lung cancer patients has become the core of several investigations. To this end, the development of a multitude of platforms for miRNA profiling analysis has been essential. This article focuses on the different technologies available for assessing miRNAs and the most important results obtai…
