Comparative Analysis of Transcriptomic Changes including mRNA and microRNA Expression Induced by the Xenoestrogens Zearalenone and Bisphenol A in Human Ovarian Cells.

Xenoestrogens are natural or synthetic compounds that mimic the effect of endogenous estrogens and might cause cancer. We aimed to compare the global transcriptomic response to zearalenone (ZEA; mycotoxin) and bisphenol A (BPA; plastic additive) with the effect of physiological estradiol (E2) in the PEO1 human ovarian cell line by mRNA and microRNA sequencing. Estrogen exposure induced remarkable transcriptomic changes: 308, 288 and 63 genes were upregulated (logFC > 1); 292, 260 and 45 genes were downregulated (logFC < -1) in response to E2 (10 nM), ZEA (10 nM) and BPA (100 nM), respectively.

Whole blood transcriptome characterization of young female triathlon athletes following an endurance exercise: a pilot study.

The vast majority of studies focusing on the effects of endurance exercise on hematological parameters and leukocyte gene expression were performed in adult men, so our aim was to investigate these changes in young females. Four young (age 15.3 ± 1.

Suppressing the PI3K/AKT Pathway by miR-30d-5p Mimic Sensitizes Ovarian Cancer Cells to Cell Death Induced by High-Dose Estrogen.

MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNA molecules that are involved in tumor development and are considered to be promising candidates in cancer therapy. Here, we studied the role of miR-30s in the pathophysiology of ovarian cancer. According to our results miR-30a-5p, miR-30d-5p, and miR-30e-5p were overexpressed in the estrogen receptor α (ERα)-expressing PEO1 cell line compared to A2780 that lacks this receptor.

Analysis of Circulating miRNA Profile in Plasma Samples of Glioblastoma Patients.

(1) Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is among the most aggressive cancers with a poor prognosis. Treatment options are limited, clinicians lack efficient prognostic and predictive markers. Circulating miRNAs-besides being important regulators of cancer development-may have potential as diagnostic biomarkers of GBM.

The Cell-Free Expression of MiR200 Family Members Correlates with Estrogen Sensitivity in Human Epithelial Ovarian Cells.

Exposure to physiological estrogens or xenoestrogens (e.g., zearalenone or bisphenol A) increases the risk for cancer.
