Plasma microRNA-195, -34c, and - 1246 as novel biomarkers for the diagnosis of trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive breast cancer patients.

Recently, miRNAs have been regarded as potential candidates for mediating therapeutic functions by targeting genes related to drug response. In this study, we suggested that plasma miRNAs may be correlated with response to trastuzumab in HER2-positive breast cancer patients. To determine whether miR-195, miR-23b-3p, miR-1246, and miR-34c-3p are involved in trastuzumab resistance, we screened their expressions in the BT-474 cell line, which was followed by plasma analysis from 20 trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive breast cancer patients and 20 nonresistance subjects.

Evaluation of some genes and proteins involved in apoptosis on human chronic myeloid leukemia cells (K562 cells) by leaves aqueous extract.

Datura innoxia () has an extensive usage in traditional medicine and can also be used for intervention therapy in order to treat cancer. Despite of accomplishing some researches on mechanism, still our knowledge is very little about exact apoptotic mechanism on human chronic myeloid leukemia cells (K562 cells). This study purpose was to clarify the molecular mechanism of apoptosis, which was mediated by leaves aqueous extract in K562 cells.

Involvement of the Dysregulation of miR-23b-3p, miR-195-5p, miR-656-5p, and miR-340-5p in Trastuzumab Resistance of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Cells and System Biology Approach to Predict Their Targets Involved in Resistance.

Resistance to trastuzumab has become a limiting factor for therapeutic efficacy of human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. Different expression levels of miRNAs in cancer cells have been associated with poor prognosis and response to chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate miRNAs that were thought to be associated with HER2-positive breast cancer chemoresistance.

Generation of an enriched pool of DNA aptamers for an HER2-overexpressing cell line selected by Cell SELEX.

Overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) occurs in a large percentage of breast cancers. Monoclonal antibodies targeting HER2 are vastly used for both diagnostic and therapeutic aims. However, identifying a new molecular probe against HER2 with improved diagnostic and therapeutic features is of great importance.
