A functional variant at miRNA-122 binding site in IL-1a 3' UTR predicts risk of recurrence in patients with oropharyngeal cancer.
Wang, Chengyuan; Sturgis, Erich M; Chen, Xingming; Wei, Qingyi; Li, Guojun (Oncotarget, 2016-06)IL-1a, an important regulator of immune and inflammation responses, has been implicated in cancer development and prognosis. An insertion (Ins)/deletion (Del) polymorphism (IL-1a rs3783553) in the 3' UTR of IL-1a may disrupt ... -
Pre-miRNA variants as predictors of clinical outcome in patients with squamous cell carcinomas of the nonoropharynx.
Wang, Chengyuan; Sturgis, Erich M; Chen, Xingming; Zheng, Hongliang; Wei, Qingyi; Li, Guojun (Oncotarget, 2016-05)Functional polymorphisms of miRNAs may affect the function and target expression of miRNAs, which can, in turn, affect the biological activity, etiology, and prognosis of cancer. We hypothesized that four common polymorphisms ... -
Significance of microRNA-related variants in susceptibility to recurrence of oropharyngeal cancer patients after definitive radiotherapy.
Chen, Xingming; Sturgis, Erich M; Wang, Chengyuan; Cao, Xiaoli; Li, Yuncheng; Wei, Qingyi; Li, Guojun (Oncotarget, 2016-06)Common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNAs may affect miRNA functions and their target expression and thus may affect biological activities and cancer etiology as well as prognosis. Thus, we determined whether ...
