MiRNAs (microRNAs) constitute a group of diminutive molecules of non-coding RNA intricately involved in regulating gene expression. This regulation is primarily accomplished through the binding of miRNAs to complementary sequences situated in the 3'-UTR of the messenger RNA (mRNA) target; as a result, they are degraded or repressed. The multifaceted biogenesis of miRNAs is characterized by a meticulously orchestrated sequence of events encompassing transcription, processing, transportation, and decay. Colorectal cancer stands as a pervasive and formidable ailment, afflicting millions across the globe...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a highly hazardous and widespread complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). The accumulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a central role in DR development. The aim of this research was to examine the impact and mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEV) on regulating ROS and retinal damage in DR. Intravitreal injection of sEV inhibited Cullin3 neddylation, stabilized Nrf2, decreased ROS, reduced retinal inflammation, suppressed Müller gliosis, and mitigated DR...

Increasing evidence indicates a strong correlation between the deposition of cuticular waxes and drought tolerance. However, the precise regulatory mechanism remains elusive. Here, we conducted a comprehensive transcriptome analysis of two wheat (Triticum aestivum) near-isogenic lines, the glaucous line G-JM38 rich in cuticular waxes and the non-glaucous line NG-JM31. We identified 85,143 protein-coding mRNAs, 4,485 lncRNAs, and 1,130 miRNAs. Using the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network and endogenous target mimic (eTM) prediction, we discovered that lncRNA35557 acted as an eTM for the miRNA tae-miR6206, effectively preventing tae-miR6206 from cleaving the NAC transcription factor gene TaNAC018...

Though tremendous advances have been made in the field of in vitro fertilization (IVF), a portion of patients are still affected by embryo implantation failure issues. One of the most significant factors contributing to implantation failure is a uterine condition called displaced window of implantation (WOI), which refers to an unsynchronized endometrium and embryo transfer time for IVF patients. Previous studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) can be important biomarkers in the reproductive process. In this study, we aim to develop a miRNA-based classifier to identify the WOI for optimal time for embryo transfer...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type and accounts for 60%-70% of the reported cases of dementia. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role in gene expression regulation. Although the diagnosis of AD is primarily clinical, several miRNAs have been associated with AD and considered as potential markers for diagnosis and progression of AD. We sought to match AD-related miRNAs in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) found in the GeoDataSets, evaluated by machine learning, with miRNAs listed in a systematic review, and a pathway analysis...

The survival rate of lung cancer is low due to the high frequency of drug resistance in patients with mutations in the driver genes. Overexpression of anti-apoptotic genes is one of the most prominent features of tumor drug resistance. EGFR signaling induces the expression of anti-apoptotic genes. Also, microRNAs (miRNAs) have a critical role in regulating biological functions such as apoptosis; a process mostly eluded in cancer progression. The mutation screening was performed on one thousand non-small cell lung carcinoma patients to enroll clinical samples in this study...
