Currently, genetic risk score (GRS) model has been a widely used method to evaluate the genetic effect of cancer risk prediction, but seldom studies investigated their discriminatory power, especially for colorectal cancer (CRC) risk prediction. In this study, we applied both simulation and real data to comprehensively compare the discriminability of different GRS models. The GRS models were fitted...
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are important regulators of the cell cycle; previous studies have shown that misregulation of CDK4 (cyclin-dependent kinase 4) activity can lead to cancer. The present study investigated the anti-tumor effects of a highly selective CDK4 inhibitor fascaplysin in ovarian carcinoma cell lines.In our study, cell proliferation, cell cycle, cell apoptosis, cell invasion,...
Ovarian carcinoma is one of the highest incidence of tumors in women, and the generation, development and prognosis of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) remains an open field of study. The role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in epithelial ovarian carcinoma is an emerging area of research.LncRNA PCA3 expression was determined in EOC and normal ovarian tissues by RT-PCR. Phenotypes indicative of...
MicroRNA-372 has been shown to be associated with multiple tumors' development and progression, by regulating the expression of proteins involved in cell cycle and apoptosis. However, the specific mechanism and function of miR-372 in ovarian carcinoma are not clear. Our study explored the role of miR-372 in ovarian carcinoma cell cycle and proliferation.MiR-372 expression was quantified in normal...
Next generation sequencing technology has identified a series of miRNA variants (named “isomiRs”), which might be associated with cancer progression. We provide a new strategy to reanalyze the miR-seq datasets through a view of the isomiR spectrum. Firstly, differentially expressed (DE) isomiRs were detected with the DESeq algorithm based on negative binomial distribution. Secondly, the rank-based...
Class III peroxidases (PRXs) are plant-specific enzymes that play key roles in the responses to biotic and abiotic stress during plant growth and development. In this study, we identified 119 nonredundant PRX genes (designated ZmPRXs). These PRX genes were divided into 18 groups based on their phylogenetic relationships. We performed systematic bioinformatics analysis of the PRX genes, including analysis...
microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that deregulate and/or decrease the expression of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which specifically contribute to complex diseases. In our study, we reanalyzed an integrated data to promote classification performance by rebuilding miRNA–mRNA modules, in which a group of deregulated miRNAs cooperatively regulated a group of significant mRNAs....
Many microRNAs (miRNAs) are clustered on chromosomes and co-transcribed as polycistronic transcripts. Here, an integrated evolutionary analysis of human miRNA gene clusters and families was performed. Generally, miRNA gene clusters include 2–8 members, but some larger clusters have been found to have more members (over 40 miRNAs). 62.22% of them have been shown to be involved in homologous miRNA genes,...
A mature miRNA may be generated from 5p or 3p arm of a hairpin precursor. The selection may be flexible via “arm switching”. However, accumulating evidences suggest that both arms of many pre-miRNAs can yield mature functional miRNAs. Herein, we attempted to compare the isomiR expression profiles between the two arms through analyzing in-house and published small RNA deep sequencing datasets. Although...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial negative regulators of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Next-generation sequencing technologies have identified a series of miRNA variants (named isomiRs). In this study, paralogous isomiR assemblies (from the miRNA locus) were systematically analyzed based on data acquired from deep sequencing data sets. Evolutionary analysis of paralogous (members...
