Effects of the microRNA-99a-5p/VLDLR axis in lung cancer cell sensitivity to chemotherapy and its mechanism

Abstract Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related death worldwide. This study investigated the regulatory effects of the microRNA-99a-5p (miR-99a-5)/VLDLR axis on lung cancer cell sensitivity to chemotherapy and its mechanism. miR-99a-5p and VLDLR expression levels were quantified using RT-qPCR and...

lncRNA CCAT1 promotes bladder cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion

Int. braz. j. urol; 45 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: To study the expression patterns of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) colon cancer-associated transcript 1 (CCAT1) and the changes in cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion induced by silencing CCAT1 in bladder cancer cells. Materials and Methods: The expression levels of C...

Antiproliferative effect of urolithin A, the ellagic acid-derived colonic metabolite, on hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2. 2. 15 cells by targeting Lin28a/let-7a axis

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (7), 2018
An abnormality in the Lin28/let-7a axis is relevant to the progression of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-positive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which could be a novel therapeutic target for this malignant tumor. The present study aimed to investigate the antiproliferative and anti-invasive effects of urolithi...
