Identification of Tumor-Suppressive Regulated Genes: as a Therapeutic Target in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Analyses of our microRNA (miRNA) expression signature combined with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data revealed that both strands of pre- (, the guide strand, and , the passenger strand) are significantly downregulated in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) clinical specimens. Functional analyses of LUAD cells ectopically expressing showed significant suppression of their aggressiveness (e.g.

Detecting acquired V-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 V600E mutation associated with osimertinib resistance in epidermal growth factor receptor-mutant lung adenocarcinoma: A case report.

Osimertinib has demonstrated efficacy as the first- and second-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations. However, EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells often acquire resistance to osimertinib. V-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) mutation (BRAF V600E) was detected in a re-biopsy (LC-SCRUM-TRY testing) of a patient with advanced lung adenocarcinoma who was resistant to osimertinib treatment.

The Molecular Pathogenesis of Tumor-Suppressive and Target Genes: Facilitates Aggressiveness in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

The involvement of passenger strands of miRNAs in the molecular pathogenesis of human cancers is a recent concept in miRNA research, and it will broaden our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of miRNA-mediated cancer. The analysis of our miRNA signature of LUAD revealed that both strands of pre- ( and ) were downregulated in LUAD tissues. Ectopic expression of both miRNAs induced cell cycle arrest in LUAD cells, suggesting both strands of miRNAs derived from pre- were tumor suppressive.

Bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation with mucocutaneous pigmentation.

Bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation (BDUMP) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome associated with extraocular malignancies. Extraocular pigmented lesions have been reported. We report that two patients with BDUMP presented with non-ocular pigmented lesions.

[A case of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung with bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation (BDUMP) diagnosed by visual disturbance].

A 50-year-old man presented with visual disturbance at a local ophthalmology clinic. He was given a diagnosis of uveitis and treated with oral corticosteroids; however, his visual disturbance did not improve and he was admitted to our hospital. A chest CT scan showed a pulmonary nodule in the upper lobe of the right lung, and right hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy.
