Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the expression of microRNA-182 (miRNA-182) in human osteosarcoma (OS) cells and tissues, and its impact on tumor activity.
  • Researchers used quantitative PCR to measure miRNA-182 levels, then manipulated its expression in MG-63 cells with mimics and inhibitors to study effects on cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis.
  • Results showed that miRNA-182 levels were significantly higher in OS cells compared to normal cells, and its upregulation led to increased apoptosis and reduced cell viability, indicating its potential role as a tumor suppressor gene in osteosarcoma.

Epidemiological studies have reported the relationship between vacuolating cytotoxin A (vacA) s-/m- region genotypes and duodenal ulcer (DU), but the results remained inconclusive. We performed the present meta-analysis to investigate a more authentic association between vacA s-/m- region genotypes and DU. Literature search was performed by searching Embase, PubMed and ISI Web of Science databases as well as checking references from identified articles, reviews and the abstracts presented at related scientific societies meetings.

The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis to investigate a more authentic association between interleukin-1 RN variable number of tandem repeats (IL-1RN VNTR) and duodenal ulcer (DU). Systematic searches of electronic databases Embase, PubMed and Web of Science were performed. Statistical analyses were conducted using software Stata 11.
