Emerging biologic and clinical implications of miR-182-5p in gynecologic cancers.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of gene expression in various biological processes, including cancer. miR-182-5p has gained attention for its potential implications in gynecologic cancers, including breast, ovarian, endometrial, and cervical cancers. miR-182-5p dysregulation has been associated with multiple facets of tumor biology in gynecologic cancers, including tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, and therapeutic response.

LncRNA-mediated regulation of cisplatin response in breast cancer.

Breast cancer is a prevalent and aggressive disease characterized by high metastasis, recurrence, and mortality rates. While cisplatin is an effective chemotherapy drug, its use is limited by its toxic effects on the body. Despite advancements in therapeutic strategies, the therapeutic response is often unsatisfactory due to drug resistance, leading to poor prognosis.

Exploring the Dual Role of MALAT1 in Thyroid Tumorigenesis: Oncogenic or Tumor Suppressor?

Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent form of endocrine cancer. Therefore, the administration of new therapeutic agents for thyroid cancer patients is necessary. One of the recent successes in thyroid cancer research is the identification of the role of signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of the disease.

The role of ncRNAs and exosomes in the development and progression of endometrial cancer.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecologic cancers. In recent years, research has focused on the genetic characteristics of the tumors to detail their prognosis and tailor therapy. In the case of EC, genetic mutations have been shown to underlie their formation.

The Protective Role of miR-125b in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Unraveling Tumor-Suppressive Mechanisms.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators of gene expression, playing pivotal roles in various biological processes, including cancer development and progression. Among them, miR-125b has garnered significant attention due to its multifaceted functional roles in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Extensive research has revealed that miR-125b plays a dual role in HCC, acting as both a tumor suppressor and an oncogene depending on the context.

Phenotypic Transitions the Processes Involved in Regulation of Growth and Proangiogenic Properties of Stem Cells, Cancer Stem Cells and Circulating Tumor Cells.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial process with significance in the metastasis of malignant tumors. It is through the acquisition of plasticity that cancer cells become more mobile and gain the ability to metastasize to other tissues. The mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) is the return to an epithelial state, which allows for the formation of secondary tumors.

The emerging roles of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 in gynecologic cancers.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 has gained significant recognition as a pivotal contributor to the initiation and advancement of gynecologic cancers, encompassing ovarian, endometrial, cervical, and breast cancers. H19 exhibits a complex array of mechanisms, demonstrating dualistic effects on tumorigenesis as it can function as both an oncogene and a tumor suppressor, contingent upon the specific context and type of cancer being investigated. In ovarian cancer, H19 promotes tumor growth, metastasis, and chemoresistance through modulation of key signaling pathways and interaction with microRNAs.

Functional Roles of lncRNAs in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: A Review Study.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) or recurrent miscarriage is the failure of pregnancy before 20-24 weeks that influences around 2-5% of couples. Several genetic, immunological, environmental and physical factors may influence RPL. Although various traditional methods have been used to treat post-implantation failures, identifying the mechanisms underlying RPL may improve an effective treatment.

Emerging roles of the long non-coding RNA NEAT1 in gynecologic cancers.

Gynecologic cancers are a worldwide problem among women. Recently, molecular targeted therapy opened up an avenue for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules (> 200 nt) that are not translated into protein, and interact with DNA, RNA, and proteins.

Potential roles of lncRNA-XIST/miRNAs/mRNAs in human cancer cells.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that contain more than 200 nucleotides but do not code for proteins. In tumorigenesis, lncRNAs can have both oncogenic and tumor-suppressive properties. X inactive-specific transcript (XIST) is a known lncRNA that has been implicated in X chromosome silencing in female cells.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Conditioned Medium; An Effective Cell-Free Therapeutic Option for Maturation of Oocytes.

Infertility is a major reproductive health issue worldwide. One of the main problems in infertile women is the failure to generate or release a mature egg. Therefore, the development of new technologies for generation or induction of mature oocytes can improve various ART procedures.

Functional roles of long noncoding RNA MALAT1 in gynecologic cancers.

Gynecologic cancers are reproductive disorders characterized by pelvic pain and infertility. The identification of new predictive markers and therapeutic targets for the treatment of gynecologic cancers is urgently necessary. One of the recent successes in gynecologic cancers research is identifying the role of signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of the disease.
