Long noncoding RNA HOTTIP is a significant indicator of ovarian cancer prognosis and enhances cell proliferation and invasion.

Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) are involved in the occurrence and progression of human tumors including ovarian cancer (OC). Long noncoding RNA HOTTIP has been found to be involved in several human tumors development. However, the role of HOTTIP in OC remains large unknown.

Prognostic Impact of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Overexpression in Patients with Cervical Cancer: A Meta-Analysis.

Clinical trials have provided conflicting results regarding whether epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpression predicts poor survival in cervical cancer patients. In this study, we perform a meta-analysis of the association between EGFR expression and survival in cervical cancer patients. We searched clinical studies in the Medline, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases.

[RNA interference silencing expression of survivin gene and reversing drug resistance of ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3/ADM].

Objective: To examine expression of survivin gene in ovarian epithelial carcinoma drug resistant cell line SKOV3/ADM and its parental cell line SKOV3, and induction of cells apoptosis and reversal of drug resistance in SKOV3/ADM after RNA interference (RNAi) silencing survivin gene.

Methods: The transcription of survivin gene in cells was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, the protein expression level of survivin gene was analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. SKOV3/ADM cells were treated with pshRNA-survivin and paclitaxel (Taxol), and acridine orange (AO)/ethidium bromide (EB) staining was performed to evaluate the apoptosis of cells.

[Pathological studies of tissue damage in experimental rabbit liver cancer induced by energy controllable steep pulses].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of energy controllable steep pulses (ECSP) in the treatment of rabbit VX2 cancer implanted in livers.

Methods: A tumor model was successfully established using 30 rabbits. ECSP were applied to liver cancer in half of these rabbits and the rest were used as controls.
