| Abstract |
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) exhibit dysregulated expression in human cancer and play an important role in carcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to identify a distinct miRNA expression signature for cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and to investigate the function of deregulated miRNAs in cervical carcinoma. A miRNA microarray was used to compare miRNA expression profiles in cervical cancer, CIN and normal cervical tissues. Real-time RT-PCR was used to validate the expression of 9 miRNAs in 103 cervical tissues. Bioinformatics programs were used to predict potential target genes and their function. Functional studies were performed to characterize the effect on cervical cancer cells by overexpression of miR-218 and miR-21. We identified deregulated miRNAs in cervical cancer and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). MiR-218 was the most downregulated (0.175-fold decrease) miRNA, and miR-21 was the most upregulated (5.67-fold increase) miRNA. In addition, the expression patterns of 9 miRNAs were validated by real-time RT-PCR. Bioinformatics analyses and functional studies indicated that miR-218 and miR-21 may be involved in cancer invasion and metastasis. Our study demonstrated that miRNAs are aberrantly expressed in cervical cancer and cervical preneoplastic lesions. These miRNAs may be involved in the progression of cervical neoplasm as potential tumor suppressor genes or oncogenes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 April 2015.
All research outputs
#21,164,509
of 23,815,455 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics
#1,537
of 2,066 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#226,114
of 266,246 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics
#23
of 31 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,815,455 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,066 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 266,246 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 31 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
