    摘要: The invention relates to a method of determining a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a subject comprising: a) obtaining a sample from the subject, b) analysing the sample for the expression of one or more biomarkers of miR-181 family of biomarkers, c) correlating the expression of one or more of the miR-181 family of biomarkers with a subtype of HCC in the subject, and d) determining whether the over-expression and/or under-expression, as compared to expression levels in normal liver tissue and non-HCC tissue, is indicative of a HCC. The invention further provides, an inhibitor selected from a group consisting of at least one inhibitor of one or more of the miR-181 family of biomarker for use in, treating a subject with the HCC subtype. The inhibitor may comprise a reagent comprising a nucleic acid complementary to at least one biomarker selected from the group consisting of one or more of the miR-181 family of biomarkers, and combinations thereof. The invention also provides a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a reagent comprising a nucleic acid complementary to at least one biomarker selected from a group consisting of one or more of the miR-181 family of biomarkers, and may comprise a beta-catenin inhibitor.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of diagnosing whether a subject has, or is at risk for developing, pancreatic cancer, comprising measuring the level of at least one miR gene product in a test sample from said subject, wherein an increase in the level of the miR gene product in the test sample, relative to the level of a corresponding miR gene product in a control sample, is indicative of the subject either having, or being at risk for developing, pancreatic cancer, wherein the type of pancreatic cancer is a pancreatic endocrine tumor (PET), and the at least one miR gene product is selected from the group consisting of: miR-103, miR-107, miR-125a, miR-99a, miR-99b, miR-125b-1, miR-342, miR-130a, miR-100, miR-132, miR-129-2, miR-125b-2 and a combination thereof. The invention also relates to a probe for hybridization comprising a miRNA selected from the above group.
