PMID: 33469068
During the development of atherosclerotic lesion, s-RNYs (small RNAs of about 24/34 nucleotides) are derived by the processing of long Ro-associated non-coding RNAs (RNYs) in macrophages. The levels of serum...

PMID: 25211630
Epigenetic alterations are common in prostate cancer (PCa) and seem to contribute decisively to its initiation and progression. Moreover, aberrant promoter methylation is a promising biomarker for non-invasive screening. Herein,...

Background: Multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene encodes for an ATP binding cassette transporter--P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-- involved in chemoresistance to taxanes. MDR1 promoter methylation is frequent in prostate carcinoma (PCa), suggesting an...

PMID: 21847011
The three main types of urological cancers are mostly curable by surgical resection, if early detected. We aimed to identify novel DNA methylation biomarkers common to these three urological cancers,...

PMID: 21814574
A large percentage of prostate cancers harbor TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusions, leading to aberrant overexpression of the transcription factor ERG. The target genes deregulated by this rearrangement, however, remain mostly unknown....

PMID: 20842524
Previously, we reported that the accuracy of cytological diagnosis of breast lesions could be augmented through the quantitative assessment of DNA methylation of fine-needle aspirate (FNA) washings. Herein, we aimed...
