Assay design and optimization of mutant-enriched PCR based method for detection of K-ras gene mutations in pancreatic carcinoma.

Abstract:

:The aim of our work was to develop a fast, reliable and sensitive PCR method to detect K-ras mutations in various clinical samples. There is a need for an unimpeachable method for early diagnosis and/or screening of pancreatic cancer (PC). We optimized and subsequently analyzed four methods based on mutant-enriched PCR for the sensitivity, cost and time expense. Using the selected optimal method we examined codon 12 K- ras mutations in a study population of 59 patients with upper GIT malignancies. Reliability of the genotyping was confirmed by sequencing. By using the best of our modified mutant-enriched PCR methods we achieved sensitivity of 1:1 x 10(5). Further studies are necessary to determine the optimal biological material sampling in PC.

  • LncRNA MEG8 plays an oncogenic role in hepatocellular carcinoma progression through miR-367-3p/14-3-3ζ/TGFβR1 axis.

    abstract::Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and it carries a poor prognosis. Clarifying the pathologic mechanisms of this disease will be beneficial for the diagnosis and treatment of HCC. LncRNA MEG8 is involved in several tumors but its role in HCC progression remains unknown. This st...
