W., Liu, B. X., Man, D. L., Yang, Z. D., Liu, F. R., and Shang, H., Expression and significance of miR-21 in multiple myeloma patients, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

The aim of the present study is to examine the expression level of peripheral mir-21 in multiple myeloma (MM) patients and to determine its clinical significance. MM patients (30), monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) patients (14), and normal controls (20) were recruited to determine the serum level of β2-MG, IgA and IgM, IgG, λ, κ, TP, ALB, Hb, LDH, and Ca2+. Gene expression of mir-21 was quantified by SYBR green real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR.

Characterization and effects of miR-21 expression in esophageal cancer

The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of miR-21 in esophageal cancer and the impact of miR-21 on apoptosis, invasion, and the expression of target genes in esophageal cancer cells. Fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis was used to detect the expression of miR-21 in human esophageal tissues, adjacent tissues, and an esophageal cancer cell line (TE-13). The antisense miR-21 oligonucleotide was generated commercially using the solid-phase chemical synthesis method.

Investigation of the value of miR-21 in the diagnosis of early stage HCC and its prognosis: a meta-analysis

S. R. Yan, Liu, Z. J., Yu, S., and Bao, Y. X., Investigation of the value of miR-21 in the diagnosis of early stage HCC and its prognosis: a meta-analysis, vol. 14, pp. 11573-11586, 2015.

The diagnostic and prognostic value of miR-21 has been examined for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with inconsistent results. Present meta-analysis summarized the diagnostic accuracy and the predictive role for survival of miR-21 in patients with HCC. All eligible studies were searched using PubMed, EMBASE, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases up to October 2014. For the diagnostic meta-analysis, the indices of miR-21 in the diagnosis of HCC were pooled using bivariate random-effect approach models.
