Abstract: The invention provides a method of diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) in a subject by determining the level of expression of one or more miRNAs molecules associated with AD, as well as various nucleic acid molecules relating thereto or derived thereof.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for the treatment of liver cancer. These methods encompass the administration of a compound comprising a modified oligonucleotide, wherein the modified oligonucleotide is targeted to a miRNA. Also provided herein are compositions for the treatment of liver cancer. Such compositions include compounds comprising a modified oligonucleotide, wherein the modified oligonucleotide is targeted to a miRNA. Certain miRNAs have been identified as overexpressed in liver cancer, such as, for example, hepatocellular carcinoma, and are thus selected for targeting by modified oligonucleotides. Further, certain miRNAs have been identified as overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells exposed to dioxin, and are thus selected for targeting by modified oligonucleotides. Antisense inhibition of certain of these miRNAs has been found to inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis.

Abstract: The present invention provides specific nucleic acid sequences for use in the identification, classification and diagnosis of various sub-types of lung cancers. The present invention permits one to accurately classify lung cancers based on their miR expression profile without further manipulation. Using microRNA microarray data generated from over two hundred formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) resection samples, fine needle aspiration (FNA) samples and fine needle biopsy (FNB) samples of primary lung cancer, microRNA expression profiles were identified that differ significantly for various sub-types of lung cancer.
