Project description:Peripheral blood non-canonical small non-coding RNAs as novel biomarkers in lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis (validation cohort)
Project description:Non-coding RNAs play an important role in the pathogenesis of human malignancies. So far, microRNAs have been investigated in detail in clear cell renal cell carcinoma, but the knowledge about other small non-coding RNAs like snoRNA, tRNA and piRNA remains small. There is increasing evidence that these non-coding RNAs are also involved in regulation of gene expression, and we therefore performed small RNA sequencing in a cohort of 18 corresponding normal and malignant tissue samples from patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma. We observed differential expression of microRNAs, but also some dysregulated tRNA and snoRNA in clear cell renal cell carcinoma tissue
