SummaryOur study aimed to clarify the correlation between miR‐1247‐5p expression and clinicopathological parameters and survival of patients with breast cancer (BC). We evaluated the expression level of miR‐1247‐5p in 224 formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded specimens (112 BC and matched cancer free tissues) by quantitative real‐time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR). miR‐1247‐5p expression in BC tissues was found to be decreased compared with matched normal tissues (P < 0.01). Additionally, low miR‐1247‐5p expression in BC tissues was significantly associated with the advanced TNM stage (P = 0.007), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.015), poorer pathological differentiation (P = 0.005) and molecular subtype (P = 0.027). The patients in the low miR‐1247‐5p group had a shorter disease‐free survival and overall survival than those in the high miR‐1247‐5p group (P < 0.01). Furthermore, the univariate and the multivariate analyses showed that miR‐1247‐5p expression was an independent predictor of overall survival (P < 0.01). Our study showed that miR‐1247‐5p was related to the biological behaviour of breast tumour and prognosis of patients with BC. miR‐1247‐5p could be a novel tumour suppressor and act as a potential biomarker and therapeutic agent for breast carcinoma.
Co-expression of ppsA and pckA genes in B. flavum could remarkably increase the expression of DAHP synthetase; Co-expression of ppsA, pckA, aroG, pheA and tyrB of E. coli in B. flavum was a feasible approach to construct a strain for phenylalanine production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
