The Profiling of Apoptosis-Associated MicroRNA Expressions of the Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Objective: The most common histopathological subtype of lung cancer is adenocarcinoma. MicroRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs that play roles in the regulation of gene expression. MicroRNAs affecting apoptosis may have different roles in lung adenocarcinoma development, progression, and differentiation.

Comparative assessment of primary cancer cell culture techniques and cellular composition analysis in non-small cell lung cancer.

Preclinical models are required to study individual therapy responses to improve all cancer treatments, particularly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patient-derived explants (PDEs) culture model is of great importance in terms of the possibility of tumor cell culture with the microenvironment, and the development of molecular mechanisms and personalized treatment methods. In our study, primary tumor culture with microenvironment was performed using different methods from tumor tissues obtained from 51 patients with NSCLC.
