An evaluation of urinary microRNA reveals a high sensitivity for bladder cancer

TL;DR: It is found that miR is stable within urinary cells despite adverse handling and detected differential expression of 10 miRs from patients with cancer and controls, and this panel in patients with haematuria would have found 94% of urothelial cell carcinoma, while reducing cystoscopy rates by 26%.

Bladder Cancer Detection and Monitoring: Assessment of Urine- and Blood-Based Marker Tests

TL;DR: The performance of current diagnostic assays for bladder cancer is assessed and some of the emerging biomarkers that could be developed to augment current bladder cancer detection strategies are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

LncRNA-SARCC suppresses renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progression via altering the androgen receptor(AR)/miRNA-143-3p signals.

TL;DR: This study discovered the novel LncRNA-SARCC, which was suppressed and associated with better prognosis in RCC, and presented a road map for targeting this newly identified LncRNAs and its pathway, which expands potential therapeutic strategies for RCC treatment.

Extracellular microRNAs in urologic malignancies: chances and challenges.

TL;DR: This review of recent publications involving extracellular miRNA profiling studies in three representative urologic cancers, including: prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and renal cell carcinoma, focuses on the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential of these miRNAs in biological fluids, such as serum, plasma, and urine.

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.
