Strand-specific miR-28-5p and miR-28-3p have distinct effects in colorectal can...
Almeida, Maria L.; Nicoloso, Milena S.; Zeng, Lizhi; Ivan, Cristina; Spizzo, Riccardo; Gafà, Roberta; XIiao, LIianchun; Zhang, Xinna; Vanninii, IvanBackground & Aims MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can promote or inhibit tumor growth and are therefore being developed as targets for cancer therapies. They are diverse not only in the messenger RNAs (mRNA) they target, but in their production; the same hairpin RNA structure can generate mature products from each strand, termed 5p and 3p, that can bind different mRNAs. We analyzed the expression, functions, and mechanisms ...
Modulation of MicroRNA-194 and cell migration by HER2-targeting trastuzumab in ...
Le, Xiao-Fen; Almeida, Maria Inês; Mao, Weiqu; Spizzo, Riccardo; Rossi, Simona; Nicoloso, Milena S.; Zhang, Shu; Wu, Yun; Calin, George A.Trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the extracellular domain of the HER2 oncoprotein, can effectively target HER2-positive breast cancer through several mechanisms. Although the effects of trastuzumab on cancer cell proliferation, angiogenesis and apoptosis have been investigated in depth, the effect of trastuzumab on microRNA (miRNA) has not been extensively studied. We have performed...
