• Circulating microRNAs: molecular microsensors in gastrointestinal cancer 

      Blanco, Moisés; Calvo, Lourdes; Figueroa, Angélica; Haz, Mar; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M.; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel (MPDI, 2012-07-09)
      [Abstract] MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small molecules of single strand non-coding RNAs, which are able to regulate gene expression. miRNAs have been involved in multiple cellular processes, such as proliferation, apoptosis and ...
    • Circulating miR-200c and miR-141 and outcomes in patients with breast cancer 

      Antolín, Silvia; Calvo, Lourdes; Blanco, Moisés; Paz Santiago, María; Lorenzo-Patiño, María J.; Haz, Mar; Santamarina, Isabel; Figueroa, Angélica; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M.; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel (BioMed Central, 2015)
      [Abstract] Background. The deregulation of microRNAs in both tumours and blood has led to the search for microRNAs to indicate the presence of cancer and predict prognosis. We hypothesize the deregulation of miR-200c/miR-141 ...
    • Clinical implications of epithelial cell plasticity in cancer progression 

      Antón-Aparicio, Luis M.; Blanco, Moisés; Castosa, Raquel; Concha, Ángel; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Calvo, Lourdes; Figueroa, Angélica (Elsevier, 2015)
      [Abstract] In the last few years, the role of epithelial cell plasticity in cancer biology research has gained increasing attention. This concept refers to the ability of the epithelial cells to dynamically switch between ...
    • Glucose transporter expression and the potential role of fructose in renal cell carcinoma: a correlation with pathological parameters 

      Antón-Aparicio, Luis M.; Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Blanco, Moisés; Valbuena Ruvira, L.; Rois, José Manuel; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; García Campelo, Rosario; Bolós Fernández, Victoria; Grande Pulido, Enrique (Spandidos, 2010-07-01)
      [Abstract] All mammalian cells contain one or more members of the facilitative glucose transporter (GLUT) gene family. Glucose transporter membrane proteins (GLUT) regulate the movement of glucose between the extracellular ...
    • Potential role of sugar transporters in cancer and their relationship with anticancer therapy 

      Blanco, Moisés; Figueroa, Angélica; Grande Pulido, Enrique; García Campelo, Rosario; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (Hindawi, 2010-06-20)
      [Abstract] Sugars, primarily glucose and fructose, are the main energy source of cells. Because of their hydrophilic nature, cells use a number of transporter proteins to introduce sugars through their plasma membrane. ...
    • Prognostic impact of disseminated tumor cells and microRNA-17-92 cluster deregulation in gastrointestinal cancer 

      Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Blanco, Moisés; Haz, Mar; Medina, Vanessa; Iglesias-Díaz, Pilar; Lorenzo-Patiño, María J.; Reboredo, Margarita; Santamarina, Isabel; Figueroa, Angélica; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M.; Calvo, Lourdes (Spandidos, 2011-07-04)
      [Abstract] The presence of tumor cells in the bone marrow (BM) could be relevant to identifying high risk of disease progression and death in gastrointestinal cancer. However, the molecular profile associated with disseminated ...
