Role of miR-6814-5p for the formation of T5, a heparanase variant, in renal cell carcinoma

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate whether the overexpression of human heparanase protein (HPSE) alternative variant protein called T5 is caused by increased expression of miR-6814-5p in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cases. In addition, the possible correlation between the clinical parameters of RCC cases and the expression levels of T5 and miR-6814-5p was evaluated.
