Abstract
Objective criteria are required for prostate cancer risk assessment, treatment decisions, evaluation of therapy, and initial indications of recurrence. Circulating microRNAs were utilized as biomarkers to distinguish prostate cancer patients from cancer-free subjects or those encountering benign prostate hyperplasia. A panel of sixty microRNAs was developed with established roles in prostate cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, and recurrence. Utilizing the FirePlex® platform for microRNA analysis, we demonstrated the efficacy and reproducibility of a rapid, high-throughput, serum-based assay for prostate cancer biomarkers that circumvents the requirement for extraction and fractionation of patient specimens supporting feasibility for expanded clinical research and diagnostic applications.
期刊介绍:
Critical ReviewsTM in Eukaryotic Gene Expression presents timely concepts and experimental approaches that are contributing to rapid advances in our mechanistic understanding of gene regulation, organization, and structure within the contexts of biological control and the diagnosis/treatment of disease. The journal provides in-depth critical reviews, on well-defined topics of immediate interest, written by recognized specialists in the field. Extensive literature citations provide a comprehensive information resource.
Reviews are developed from an historical perspective and suggest directions that can be anticipated. Strengths as well as limitations of methodologies and experimental strategies are considered.
