MicroRNA-143 and -205 Expression in Neosquamous Esophageal Epithelium Following Argon Plasma Ablation of Barrett’s Esophagus

Introduction Ablation of Barrett’s esophagus using Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is usually followed by the formation of a neosquamous epithelium. Investigating simple columnar or stratified squamous epithelium associated cytokeratin and microRNA (miRNA) expression in neo-squamous epithelium could help determine the identity and stability of the neosquamous epithelium.
