Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | prostate cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | C61.9 |
| Methods | qPCR, Northern blot etc. |
| Sample | prostate cancer tissues, cell lines (LNCap-AD, 22Rv1, PC-3, DU145, C4-2 etc.) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | qPCR was used to assess the PCA3 and MALAT-1 expression levels in an additional set of 10 pairs of PCa and adjacent normal tissues. Comparing the PCA3 and MALAT-1 expression levels in the 10 paired tissue samples revealed that PCA3 and MALAT-1 were highly expressed in most of the PCa tissues. Plasma lncRNAs probably exist in the form of fragments in a stable form. MD-miniRNA enters cell culture medium at measurable levels, and MD-miniRNA derived from human PCa xenografts actually enters the circulation in vivo and can be measured to distinguish xenografted mice from controls. |

| Title | Long non-coding RNA metastasis associated in lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 derived miniRNA as a novel plasma-based biomarker for diagnosing prostate cancer. |
