Objective: To investigate the effects of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) on the proliferation, invasion, apoptosis and tumor formation of non-small cell lung cancer cisplatin-resistant cell line (A549/DDP) via silencing of colon cancer associated transcript 2 ( 2).
Methods: TA549/DDP cells were transfected with shRNA- 2 (sh- 2) or shRNA-negative control (shRNA-NC), and untransfected A549/DDP cells were used as the control group. 2 mRNA expression in three groups of A549/DDP cells was detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR).

Rationale: Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) is rare cancer and has a poor prognosis with resistance to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Until now there is no standard third-line treatment for patients who have failed second-line therapy.
Patient Concerns: A 58-year-old non-smoking female peasant of ethnic Han was admitted to the oncology department of the 363 Hospital with a primary complaint of chest tightness and breathlessness from 3 months ago.
Background: STARD13 has been revealed to suppress tumor progression. However, the roles in regulating the stemness of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells are unclear.
Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect STARD13 expression in HCC tissues and normal adjacent tissues.
Numerous studies have assessed the diagnostic value of serum p53 (s-p53) antibody in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC); however, results remain controversial. The present study aimed to comprehensively and quantitatively summarize the potential diagnostic value of s-p53 antibody in CRC. The present study utilized databases, including PubMed and EmBase, systematically regarding s-p53 antibody diagnosis in CRC, accessed on and prior to 31 July 2016.
