- 在瘤学瘤学.
背景情况:
- 位于3p14.2脆弱部位的FHIT (脆弱胺三合体) 基因是一种潜在的瘤抑制剂.
- FHIT基因的变异已与各种人类癌症有关,但其在肺癌发生中的特定作用需要进一步阐明.
研究的目的:
- 研究FHIT基因在肺癌发展中的作用.
- 分析小细胞肺癌 (SCLC) 和非小细胞肺癌 (NSCLC) 的FHIT基因变异.
主要方法:
- 使用逆转录聚合酶链反应 (RT-PCR) 和测序对FHIT信使RNA (mRNA) 转录的分析.
- 通过微卫星多态性分析评估FHIT基因等位基因损失.

02:39lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)...
02:23Abnormal Proliferation
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the daughter...
