MiR-194-5p serves as a potential biomarker and regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of hippocampus neuron in children with temporal lobe epilepsy.

Background: The aim of the present study is to explore the expression level and the clinical significance of miR-194-5p to the children with temporal lobe epilepsy, and investigate its functions in regulating cell behaviors of hippocampal neurons.

Methods: The expression level of miR-194-5p was detected in the serum of 59 temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) children and 63 healthy children. To further study the role of miR-194-5p in the development of TLE in children, the epileptiform discharge model was established in rat hippocampal neurons to mimic TLE conditions in children.

Circular RNA circ_0005774 contributes to proliferation and suppresses apoptosis of acute myeloid leukemia cells via circ_0005774/miR-192-5p/ULK1 ceRNA pathway.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been emerging as new players in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Hsa_circ_0005774 (circ_0005774) is an upregulated circRNA in pediatric AML, while its role is uncovered. Thus, we intended to measure the function and mechanism of circ_0005774 in AML leukemogenesis.
