Background: Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is the third most prevalent female reproductive system malignant tumor with poor prognosis, particularly at advanced stage. On the other hand, recent studies have reported the prognostic role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in UCEC. The aim of this study was to determine the immune-related lncRNA signature for predicting overall survival (OS) in UCEC patients.

A growing number of studies have documented that miRNAs were associated with outcome in NSCLC patients and can act as a prognostic marker. However, existing studies concerning the relationship between miRNAs and outcome in NSCLC patients were contentious and dispersive.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFmicro (mi)‑RNAs are a class of small non‑coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding to the 3'‑untranslated region of mRNA, which may lead to mRNA degradation or transcription regulation. Previous studies indicated that miRNAs are important for the pathogenesis of human cancer. miR‑375 has been implicated in various tumor types; however, the biological activity in human non‑small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells remains to be fully elucidated.

But the effect of HDACIs in tumors treatment has been disappointing, which mainly due to the acquisition of resistance to HDACIs. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been clearly understood.
