Abstract 1546: Cortisol induces the expression of miR-143-3p/miR-145 cluster in macrophages to affect macrophage polarization via reprogramming of glucose metabolism
Abstract:Cortisol, the primary stress hormone, can contribute to cancer development through a variety of mechanisms. In a population-based research study, we have detected high serum levels of cortisol and several exosomal microRNAs (miRs) in women with a breast cancer (BC) diagnosis than non-cancer female subjects. In this study, we identified a positive correlation of cortisol levels with an exosomal miRNA, miR-143-3p, in serum samples. Furthermore, we observed an upregulation of miR-143-3p in human monocyte (THP1 an… Show more
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.
