Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is prevalent worldwide and particularly
common in certain regions of Asia. Here we report the whole-exome or targeted deep …

Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs), noncoding RNAs 21–25 nucleotides in length, regulate gene
expression primarily at the posttranscriptional level. Growing evidence suggests that …

Background: HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR), which is expressed from the

Abstract Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1), upregulated in various types of human cancers,
has been reported to be associated with the carcinogenesis of human cancer. However, the …

Objective: We aimed first to investigate the expression pattern of miRNAs in esophageal
squamous cell cancer and then compared it with those of adjacent benign esophageal …

Esophageal cancers are a challenging upper gastrointestinal tract tumor entity for
interdisciplinary oncology. For the two main histotypes, namely esophageal squamous cell …

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a common cancer worldwide that has a
poor survival rate among patients mainly because of lack of early markers to identify this …

IQGAP1 is a scaffolding protein that can regulate several distinct signaling pathways. The
