Personalized management in low-risk prostate cancer: the role of biomarkers.

TL;DR: An overview of the current available serum-, urine-, and tissue-based biomarkers in PCa is provided and the clinical usefulness of these biomarkers is evaluated in the detection and management of low-risk PCa.

C URRENT OPINION Noncoding RNA in bladder cancer: a specific focus upon high-risk nonmuscle invasive disease

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed knowledge of ncRNA in bladder cancer, with a focus upon their role in high-risk non-muscle invasive tumors, and reported the ability of microRNAs to help evaluate patients with non-mule invasive bladder cancer.

Epigenetic Control of Gene Expression in the Normal and Malignant Human Prostate: A Rapid Response Which Promotes Therapeutic Resistance.

TL;DR: In a multicellular model of human prostate cancer, flexible responses are primarily governed not only by de novo mutations but appear to be dominated by a combination of epigenetic controls, whose application results in treatment resistance and tumor relapse.

Urinary microRNA can be concentrated, dried on membranes and stored at room temperature in vacuum bags

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that urinary micro RNA can be concentrated, dried on membranes and stored in vacuum bags at room temperature for several months, making the large-scale storage of clinical samples of urinary microRNA or other nucleic acids possible.

In-Silico Integration Approach to Identify a Key miRNA Regulating a Gene Network in Aggressive Prostate Cancer.

TL;DR: The results identify a four-gene signature with diagnostic and prognostic value in PC and suggest an interesting gene network that could play a key regulatory role in PC development and progression and hsa-miR-153, controlling this network, could be a potential biomarker for theranostics in high Gleason-scored PC.

MicroRNAs: Target Recognition and Regulatory Functions

TL;DR: The current understanding of miRNA target recognition in animals is outlined and the widespread impact of miRNAs on both the expression and evolution of protein-coding genes is discussed.

A microRNA polycistron as a potential human oncogene

TL;DR: It is found that the levels of the primary or mature microRNAs derived from the mir-17–92 locus are often substantially increased in human B-cell lymphomas, and the cluster is implicate as a potential human oncogene.

Mammalian microRNAs predominantly act to decrease target mRNA levels

TL;DR: Results show that changes in mRNA levels closely reflect the impact of miRNAs on gene expression and indicate that destabilization of target mRNAs is the predominant reason for reduced protein output.

Mammalian microRNAs predominantly act to decrease target mRNA levels

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ribosome profiling to measure the overall effects on protein production and compare these to simultaneously measured effects on mRNA levels, showing that changes in mRNA levels closely reflect the impact of miRNAs on gene expression and indicate that destabilization of target mRNAs is the predominant reason for reduced protein output.
