To investigate the mechanisms of ccRCC progression and metastasis, we performed expression profiling of human kidney cancer and benign tissues. mRNA microarray expression analysis was performed by using 28 matched malignant and non-malignant kidney tissue samples from 14 ccRCC patients without diag...
Background/Objective: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in cancerogenesis and cancer progression, but their specific role in metastasis of clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCCs) as so-called metastamirs is still limited. Based on microRNA microarray analyses from normal (n=12) and cancerous ...
Eukaryotic cells have to prevent the export of unspliced pre-mRNAs until intron removal is completed to avoid the expression of aberrant and potentially harmful proteins. Only mature RNAs associate with the export receptor Mex67 (mammalian TAP) and enter the cytoplasm. The underlying nuclear quality...
Mutations of the KRAS oncogene are predictive for resistance to treatment with antibodies against the epithelial growth factor receptor in patients with colorectal cancer. Overcoming this therapeutic dilemma could potentially be achieved by the introduction of drugs that inhibit signaling pathways t...
The data uploaded is related to the identification/quantitation of Cystatin C fragment 95-146 in human hemofiltrate. Also, the mass spectrometry analysis of Cystatin C digested with several proteases is included.
