Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) is second major histological subtype of lung cancer. Unlike in the case of lung adenocarcinoma (Ad), SqCC has only few molecular target drugs. In the mature microRNA(miR) fragments, 34 miRs were identified as the candidates especially for SqCC distinguished from Ad. Furthermore, four miRs were up regulated in amplified regions and independently associated with poor prognosis in SqCC. Moreover, those who had the tumor with high expression in three of four miRs simultaneously showed the worst prognosis. To explore miR-mRNA network, we also predicted the target genes for each miRs. MicroRNA will regulate target molecules related to carcinogenesis and malignancy in SqCC.
