Journal ArticleDOI
MicroRNAs in body fluids—the mix of hormones and biomarkers
Maria Angelica Cortez,Carlos E. Bueso-Ramos,Jana Ferdin,Gabriel Lopez-Berestein,Anil K. Sood,George A. Calin +5 more
TL;DR: The role of fluid-expressedmiRNAs as reliable cancer biomarkers and treatment-response predictors as well as potential new patient selection criteria for clinical trials are discussed and the concept that miRNAs could function as hormones is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms inside microRNA target sites influence tumor susceptibility.
Milena S. Nicoloso,Hao Sun,Hao Sun,Riccardo Spizzo,Hyunsoo Kim,Priyankara Wickramasinghe,Masayoshi Shimizu,Sylwia E. Wojcik,Jana Ferdin,Jana Ferdin,Tanja Kunej,Lianchun Xiao,Siranoush Manoukian,Giorgio Secreto,Fernando Ravagnani,Xuemei Wang,Paolo Radice,Carlo M. Croce,Ramana V. Davuluri,George A. Calin +19 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that transcribed target SNPs alter miRNA gene regulation and, consequently, protein expression, contributing to the likelihood of cancer susceptibility, by a novel mechanism of subtle gene regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epigenetic regulation of microRNAs in cancer: An integrated review of literature
TL;DR: The integrative survey and analyses revealed candidate cancer-specific miRNA epigenetic signatures which provide the basis for new therapeutic strategies in cancer by targeting the epigenetic regulation of miRNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The primate-specific N-BLR is a novel molecular contributor to the complex mechanisms that underlie metastasis in colorectal cancer and a potential novel biomarker for this disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, a functional link between oxygen deprivation and the modulation of long noncoding transcripts from ultraconserved regions, termed transcribed-ultraconserved regions (T-UCRs), was demonstrated.
