MicroRNA-148b enhances the radiosensitivity of B-cell lymphoma cells by targeting Bcl-w to promote apoptosis.

Lymphoma is a malignant disease of the hematopoietic system that typically affects B cells. The up-regulation of miR-148b is associated with radiosensitization in B-cell lymphoma (BCL). This study aimed to explore the role of miR-148b in regulating the radiosensitivity of BCL cells and to investigate the underlying mechanism.

Circulating tumor cells as a new predictive and prognostic factor in patients with small cell lung cancer.

: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most malignant type of lung cancer characterized by rapid progression, early metastasis and recurrence. In recent years, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) were found to play an important role in tumor invasion, metastasis, recurrence and prognosis. : CTCs were detected in 138 patients with newly diagnosed SCLC from January 2012 to December 2018.

Expression profile analysis of prognostic long non-coding RNA in adult acute myeloid leukemia by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA).

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are over 200 nt in length, have a key role in tumorigenesis and disease progression. To explore the role of prognostic lncRNAs in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in AML were analyzed. The RNAseq data of 167 adult AML patients and the corresponding clinical information were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), which is a publicly available database.
