miR-146a and miR-146b in the diagnosis and prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Authors: Qiu Z, Li H, Wang J, Sun C Abstract The present study investigated the relationship between the expression of miR-146a and miR‑146b with the occurrence and prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Experiments in vitro were also used to explore the effect of the knocked down expression of the miRNAs on growth and migration of papillary thyroid carcinoma cells. A total of 73 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma admitted to Yidu Central Hospital of Weifang from September 2013 to September 2015 were enrolled in the study. Carcinoma samples were obtained from each patient, and adjacent tissues were use...

Loss of Runt-related transcription factor 3 induces resistance to 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Authors: Kataoka J, Shiraha H, Horiguchi S, Sawahara H, Uchida D, Nagahara T, Iwamuro M, Morimoto H, Takeuchi Y, Kuwaki K, Onishi H, Nakamura S, Takaki A, Nouso K, Yagi T, Yamamoto K, Okada H Abstract Runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) is known to function as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer and other types of cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its role has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the role of RUNX3 in HCC. We used the human HCC cell lines Hep3B, Huh7 and HLF; RUNX3 cDNA was introduced into Hep3B and Huh7 cells, which were negative f...
