Abstract
MiRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally contributing to the development of different diseases including cancer. The miR-200 family consists of five members, miR-200a, miR-200b, miR-200c, miR-141, and miR-429. Their expression is dysregulated in cancer tissue and their level is altered in the body fluids of cancer patients. Moreover, the levels of miR-200 family members correlate with clinical parameters such as cancer patients' survival which makes them potentially useful as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. MiRNAs can act as either oncomiRs or tumor suppressor miRNAs depending on the target genes and their role in the regulation of key oncogenic signaling pathways. In most types of cancer, the miR-200 family acts as tumor suppressor miRNA and regulates all features of cancer. In this review, we summarized the expression pattern of the miR-200 family in different types of cancer and their potential utility as biomarkers. Moreover, we comprehensively described the role of miR-200 family members in the regulation of all hallmarks of cancer proposed by Hanahan and Weinberg with the focus on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, invasiveness, and metastasis of tumor cells.

Abstract
In this study, we confirmed that HOXC13 might be a potential oncogene in lung adenocarcinoma through an analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets. Further analysis revealed that the expression of HOXC13 was significantly higher in lung adenocarcinoma tissues than in adjacent normal tissues; importantly, its expression correlated with poor clinical characteristics and worse prognosis. In vitro experiments showed that HOXC13 expression generally increased in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. Moreover, knockdown of HOXC13 inhibited lung adenocarcinoma cell proliferation, and induced G1-phase arrest via downregulation of CCND1 and CCNE1. Conversely, HOXC13 overexpression promoted lung adenocarcinoma cell proliferation, and decreased the percentage of cells in G1-phase via upregulation of CCND1 and CCNE1. We also found that miR-141 downregulated HOXC13, by directly targeting its 3'UTR, and inhibited proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells. Taken together, our results suggest that HOXC13, which is directly targeted by miR-141, is highly expressed in lung adenocarcinoma, and promotes proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma by modulating the expression of CCND1 and CCNE1.

Abstract
Growing evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in the initiation and progression of breast carcinoma (BC) and are promising diagnostic biomarkers. In the present study, we aimed to identify a multi-marker miRNA pool with high diagnostic performance for BC. We collected miRNA expression profiles of BC samples and normal breast tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and screened differentially expressed miRNAs by conducting two‑sample t-tests and by calculating log2 fold-change (log2FC) ratios. Statistical significance was established at p<0.001 and |log2FC| >1. Then, we generated receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calculated the area under the curve (AUC) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI), and calculated the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity using MedCalc software. Additionally, we predicted the targets of candidate miRNAs using 10 online databases: TarBase, miRTarBase, TargetScan, TargetMiner, microRNA.org, RNA22, PicTar-vert, miRDB, PITA and PolymiRTS. Target genes that were predicted by at least four algorithms were chosen, and cooperative targets of multiple miRNAs were further selected for GO and KEGG pathway analyses through the DAVID online tool. Eventually, a total of 66 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified after miRNA expression profiles were analyzed in BC and normal breast samples. Of these, we selected nine dysregulated miRNAs as candidate diagnostic markers: seven upregulated miRNAs (hsa-miR-21, hsa-miR-96, hsa-miR-183, hsa-miR‑182, hsa-miR-141, hsa-miR-200a and hsa-miR-429) and two downregulated miRNAs (hsa-miR-139 and hsa-miR‑145). The ROC curve for the combination of these nine differently expressed miRNAs showed extremely high diagnostic accuracy, with an AUC of 0.995 (95% CI, 0.988‑0.999) and diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 98.7 and 98.9%, respectively. In conclusion, the combination of these nine miRNAs significantly improved the accuracy of breast cancer diagnosis.
