β¦ Synopsis
In the current study the relationship between the incidence of metastatic spread and expression (at the protein level) of various proto-oncogenes was investigated in 217 human non-small cell lung carcinomas. Tumors with an overexpression of proteins encoded by the oncogenes c-jun and c-myc showed a significantly increased formation of metastases (c-jun: P =0.008; c-myc: P=0.018). No significant correlations were found between the expression of the c-fos, c-erbB1, c-neu and c-ras products and metastatic spread.

## Abstract ## Background Deregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) plays important roles in tumor progression. The aim of this study was to investigate miRβ21 expression in serum of nonβsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its correlation with prognosis of NSCLC patients. ## Methods Dysregulated miRNAs
The retinoblastoma protein (pRB), p16, and cyclin D1 are major components of the RB pathway, which controls the G1 checkpoint of the cell cycle. Proper regulation of this pathway is crucial for normal cell proliferation. Abnormal forms of these proteins have been found in various types of malignant
