Riociguat treatment in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: Final safety data from the EXPERT registry

Objective: The soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator riociguat is approved for the treatment of adult patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and inoperable or persistent/recurrent chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) following Phase

Construction of miRNA-mRNA networks for the identification of lung cancer biomarkers in liquid biopsies.

Lung cancer (LC) is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide mostly due to the low survival rate: 75% of cases are identified in advanced stages. In this study, the list of useful biomarkers to make an early diagnosis using liquid biopsies was expanded. A total of 30 samples of LC were analyzed to define potential miRNA biomarkers in liquid biopsies for LC. The biomarkers have been identified in interaction networks miRNA-mRNA. The potential biomarkers have been then validated in large cohorts. A total of 15 candidate miRNAs, that regulate the repression of 30 mRNAs, have been identified as a specific functional interaction network for squamous carcinoma, while the specific functional interaction network of adenocarcinoma consists of four candidate miRNAs that seem to handle the repression of five mRNA. Inspection of expression levels in larger cohorts validates the usefulness of the 11 candidates as biomarkers in liquid biopsies. The 11 candidate miRNAs found could be utilized to form diagnostic predictive biomarkers for LC in liquid biopsies
