The cancer cells’ metabolism is altered due to deregulation of key proteins, including glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-1), whose mRNA levels are influenced by microRNAs (miRNAs). Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common and lethal neoplasia in the adult kidney, mostly due to the lack of accurate diagnosis and follow-up biomarkers. Being a metabolic associated cancer, this study aimed to understand the hsa-miR-...
Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is a complex of apolipoprotein (a) [apo(a)] and low density lipoprotein, which is an independent major risk factor associated with atherothrombotic disease 1. Unlike other lipoproteins, interindividual differences in Lp(a) plasma concentration is almost entirely due to inheritance, most of them being attributed to sequence differences linked to the apo(a) locus.2,3,4 The primary structur...
