Clinical evaluation of microRNA-145 expression in renal cell carcinoma: a promising molecular marker for discriminating and staging the clear cell histological subtype.

abstract：:LFM-A13, or alpha-cyano-beta-hydroxy-beta-methyl-N-(2,5-dibromophenyl)propenamide, was shown to inhibit Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk). Here we show that LFM-A13 efficiently inhibits erythropoietin (Epo)-induced phosphorylation of the erythropoietin receptor, Janus kinase 2 (Jak2) and downstream signalling molecules. ...
