Abstract A085: miR-222/221 in aggressive breast cancer (2013)
Journal Article
Di Leva, G., Piovan, C., Cheung, D., Briskin, D., Kumar, A., Nuovo, G., …Croce, C. (2013). Abstract A085: miR-222/221 in aggressive breast cancer. Molecular Cancer Research, 11(10_Supplement), A085-A085. https://doi.org/10.1158/1557-3125.advbc-a085

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at post-transcriptional level through translational inhibition and/or degradation of mRNA target genes. Recent evidence points to a widespread role for miRNAs in the initiatio... Read More about Abstract A085: miR-222/221 in aggressive breast cancer.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in the world today. Although some advances in lung cancer therapy have been made, patient survival is still poor. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can act as oncogenes or tumor-suppressor genes in human malignan...

Abstract LB-244: MiR-34a/c-dependent PDGFR-α/β reduction inhibits tumorigenesis and sensitizes TRAIL-induced apoptosis in lung cancer. Cancer Research, 73(8_Supplement), LB-244-LB-244. https://doi.org/10.1158/1538-7445.am2013-lb-244

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide. Despite years of research, the prognosis for patients with lung cancer remains dismal. The most frequent type, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (85%), shows an overall five year surviv...

Dietary zinc deficiency (ZD) is implicated in the pathogenesis of human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). microRNA-31 (miR-31) is overexpressed in human ESCC. In the rat a ZD diet promotes esophageal carcinogenesis by inducing cellular proli... Read More about Abstract LB-241: Silencing of microRNA-31 prevents esophageal neoplasia in zinc deficient rats..

Estrogen mediated-activation of miR-191/425 cluster modulates tumorigenicity of breast cancer cells depending on estrogen receptor status. (2013)

Estrogen mediated-activation of miR-191/425 cluster modulates tumorigenicity of breast cancer cells depending on estrogen receptor status. PLOS genetics, 9(3), Article ARTN e1003311. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003311

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), single-stranded non-coding RNAs, influence myriad biological processes that can contribute to cancer. Although tumor-suppressive and oncogenic functions have been characterized for some miRNAs, the majority of microRNAs have not b...
