Abstract

Purpose

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignant tumors and highly heterogeneous diseases. More recently, RNA expression profiles have been used as prognostic cancer markers. In this regard, the expression of small non-coding RNAs like tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) in tumor tissue has potential diagnostic values in metastatic cancer.

Method

Sixty postoperative CRC tissue samples, consisting of 30 cancers and 30 adjacent normal tissues, were collected from cancer patients. We evaluated MINTbase database to select tRNA-derived fragments. The expression levels of miR-1280, miR1308, tRNA-ValAAC/CAC, and tRNA-AspGTC were measured by TaqMan quantitative reverse transcription PCR technology. Also, we have evaluated the correlation between the levels of tRFs gene expression and clinicopathological of CRC disease.

Result

The three tRFs derived from tRF/miR-1280, tRNA-ValAAC/CAC, and tRNA-AspGTC downregulated in tumor tissues (all, p < 0.0001). These tRFs have lower expression in stage IV in comparison with stage III. The tRFs derived from tRNA-ValAAC (p = 0.005) and tRNA-AspGTC (p = 0.034) showed the decreased expression in CRC patients with distant metastasis.

Conclusion

The present study demonstrated that low expression of tRF/miR-1280, tRNA-ValAAC/CAC, and tRNA-AspGTC was significantly associated with metastatic stage and more aggressive tumor behavior of CRC disease. Our finding promising the potential of using tRFs as biomarkers for cancer diagnosis.

CDK4/6-Inhibitoren bei Brustkrebs in die Zweitlinie aufschieben?

Ergebnisse einer Phase-III-Studie sprechen dafür, dass die Behandlung mit CDK4/6-Inhibitoren bei fortgeschrittenem HR-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs auch auf die Zweitlinie verschoben werden könnte, ohne die onkologischen Ergebnisse zu kompromittieren.

Cannabisextrakt verbessert Antiemese bei Chemotherapie

Sprechen Krebskranke auf die übliche Antiemese während einer Chemotherapie nicht ausreichend an, lohnt sich möglicherweise eine Behandlung mit Cannabisextrakt. In einer Phase-2/3-Studie ließ sich die antiemetische Response mit einem solchen Extrakt erheblich verbessern.

Veränderung der Brustdichte beeinflusst das Krebsrisiko

Die radiologische Dichte des Mammagewebes ist mit dem Risiko assoziiert, an Brustkrebs zu erkranken. Dabei wirken sich laut Ergebnissen einer Studie auch Dichteänderungen aus. Fünf Verlaufsmuster lassen sich dabei unterscheiden.

PMBCL mit CMR: Radiatio kann ohne Risiko weggelassen werden

Patienten mit primär mediastinalem B-Zell-Lymphom (PMBCL), die nach der Induktionstherapie eine komplette metabolische Remission (CMR) erreichen und keine konsolidierende Bestrahlung erhalten, müssen offenbar keine Überlebensnachteile fürchten.
