Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an angiogenic cytokine, which plays a major role in tumor angiogenesis. VEGF mRNA expression is controlled by hypoxia, growth factors and hormones through both transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms. VEGF mRNA has a short half-life and its abundance is regulated by the binding of...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that are involved in the epigenetic regulation of cellular processes. Different malignancies are often associated with the deregulation of specific sets of miRNAs. The prognosis of adrenocortical cancers (ACCs) is very poor as compared to adrenocortical adenomas (ACAs), and even within ACCs there are...
