This study is a continuation of earlier findings involving poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) nanoparticles (PEG-PCL NPs), which were coated with trastuzumab to target GC with HER2 receptor over-expression using anti-miRNA-21 (AMO-21) and 5-Fu.
Literature database including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Ovid, SciVerse, Science Direct, Scopus, BioMed Central, Biosis previews,Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Technology of Chongqing (VIP), and Wan Fang DATA were searched for publications concerning the diagnostic value of miR-21 for GC without language restriction.
Our findings suggest that exosomal transfer of tumor-associated macrophages derived miR-21 confer DDP resistance in gastric cancer, and targeting exosome communication may be a promising new therapeutic strategy for gastric cancer patients.
Recent evidences indicate that miR-21 is overexpressed in tumour tissue, including gastric cancer and plays a vital role in tumour cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and angiogenesis.
The results of the current study demonstrated that there was a higher expression of VEGF and miR-21 in GC tissues compared with that in morphologically adjacent normal tissues whereas PPARα expression was decreased.
Enhanced antiproliferative activity of antibody-functionalized polymeric nanoparticles for targeted delivery of anti-miR-21 to HER2 positive gastric cancer.
Overexpression of miR-21 decreased the sensitivity of GC cells to trastuzumab, while suppression of miR-21 expression restored the resistance of GC cells to trastuzumab.
This study elucidated whether Helicobacter pylori-infected first-degree relatives of patients with gastric cancer (GCF) are susceptible to have SPEM and correlated with miR-21, 155, and 223 expressions.
Overall, the proposed strategy could be satisfactory for rapid, ultrasensitive and efficient detection of microRNA-21, and held great potentials in clinic diagnosis of gastric cancer.
Luciferase assays demonstrated direct interaction between miR-21 and Serpini1 3'UTR. miR-21 and Serpini1 expression levels were inversely correlated in a subgroup of gastric cancers, suggesting a regulatory mechanism that included both of these molecules.
Importantly, increased miR‑21‑5p expression levels at diagnosis were correlated with clinicopathological characteristics including advanced stage and poor prognosis, further implying that a relapse of GC may be a consequence of miR‑21‑5p upregulation, thus providing evidence for the potential utility of miR‑21‑5p antagonism to sensitize GC cells to DOX chemotherapy.
These results indicate SMAD7 may mediate the oncogenic properties of miRNA-21-5p in gastric cancer, and miRNA-21-5p would be a promising strategy for the treatment of gastric cancer.
Differential expression of miR-21, miR-320c, and miR-1225-5p was validated in the PLF of serosa-invasive and non-invasive GC by qRT-PCR and miR-21 and miR-1225-5p were confirmed to be associated with serosal invasion in GC.
