MicroRNA profiles in five pairs of early gastric cancer tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues.

ABSTRACT: Approximately half of the world's gastric cancer cases and deaths occur in China. In addition, the incidence and mortality rates of gastric cancer in Gansu province in China are much higher than the average nationwide levels. The present study investigated microRNA (miRNA/miR) profiles in early gastric cancer (EGC) without specific symptoms. miRNA expression levels in five pairs of EGC tissues and adjacent non-cancerous mucosa tissues of patients from Gansu province in China were analyzed using a miRNA microarray. A total of 47 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were identified. Subsequently, mRNA expression profiles of three pairs of cancer tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues from 3 Asian patients with stage I or stage II gastric cancer (stage I/II; American Joint Committee on
