Introduction: Mitochondrial dysfunction is common in cancer, and the mitochondrial electron transport chain is often affected in carcinogenesis. So far, little is known about the expression of the mitochondrial complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) subunits in clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

Materials And Methods: An expression profile of the mitochondrial complex I subunits was determined using the NextBio database.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is common in cancer, and the mitochondrial electron transport chain is often affected in carcinogenesis. So far, few is known about the expression of the mitochondrial complex III (ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex) subunits in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). In this study, the NextBio database was used to determine an expression profile of the mitochondrial complex III subunits based on published microarray studies.

Patients with malignancies often possess increased concentrations of cell-free serum DNA. In this study, we investigated serum DNA levels in each 45 patients with bladder cancer (BCA) undergoing radical cystectomy and with benign prostate hyperplasia. A quantitative real-time PCR was used to amplify a 124 bp (PTGS2; mostly apoptotic origin) and a 271 bp (Reprimo; mostly necrotic origin) DNA fragment.
