Purpose: To investigate expression, regulation, potential role and targets of miR-195 and miR-497 in breast cancer.
Experimental Design: The expression patterns of miR-195 and miR-497 were initially examined in breast cancer tissues and cell lines by Northern blotting and quantitative real-time PCR. Combined bisulfite restriction analysis and bisulfite sequencing were carried out to study the DNA methylation status of miR-195 and miR-497 genes. Breast cancer cells stably expressing miR-195 and miR-497 were established to study their role and targets. Finally, normal, fibroadenoma and breast cancer tissues were employed to analyze the correlation between miR-195/497 levels and malignant stages of breast tumor tissues.
Results: MiR-195 and miR-497 were significantly downregulated in breast cancer. The methylation state of CpG islands upstream of the miR-195/497 gene was found to be responsible for the downregulation of both miRNAs. Forced expression of miR-195 or miR-497 suppressed breast cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Raf-1 and Ccnd1 were identified as novel direct targets of miR-195 and miR-497. miR-195/497 expression levels in clinical specimens were found to be correlated inversely with malignancy of breast cancer.
Conclusions: Our data imply that both miR-195 and miR-497 play important inhibitory roles in breast cancer malignancy and may be the potential therapeutic and diagnostic targets.

Plasma microRNA Levels After Electroconvulsive Therapy in Treatment-Resistant Depressed Patients.
J ECT
January 2025
Division of Biology and Genetics, Department of Molecular and Translational Medicine, University of Brescia, Brescia.
Objectives: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the most effective treatments for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), even though the molecular mechanisms underlying its efficacy remain largely unclear. This study aimed, for the first time, to analyze plasma levels of miRNAs, key regulators of gene expression, in TRD patients undergoing ECT to investigate potential changes during treatment and their associations with symptom improvement.
Methods: The study involved 27 TRD patients who underwent ECT.
Exploring the ceRNA network involving AGAP2-AS1 as a novel biomarker for preeclampsia.

Article Synopsis
- Preeclampsia (PE) is a significant topic in obstetrics research, yet its mechanisms are not fully understood, prompting the analysis of several gene expression datasets to identify differences between PE and control groups.
- Researchers established a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network, identifying five hub genes (DAXX, EFNB1, NCOR2, RBBP4, and SOCS1) linked to PE and predicted potential drugs that could interact with these genes.
- The study's findings highlight AGAP2-AS1's role in a regulatory network involving 41 mRNAs and two miRNAs, aiming to deepen the understanding of the molecular connections in PE and create a basis for future scientific exploration.
Alterations in the transcriptome and microRNAs of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells from different sites in rats during aging.

Aging is an intricate and gradual process characterized by tissue and cellular dysfunction. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) experience a functional decline as part of systemic aging. However, the alterations in ADMSCs across various anatomical sites throughout an individual's lifespan remain unclear.

Oxidative stress is one of the most important environmental exposures associated with psychiatric disorders, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In a previous study, we observed a substantial alteration of the gene expression landscape in neuron-like cells that were differentiated from SH-SY5Y cells after or during exposure to oxidative stress, with a subset of dysregulated genes being enriched for neurodevelopmental processes. To further explore the regulatory mechanisms that might account for such profound perturbations, we have now applied small RNA-sequencing to investigate changes in the expression of miRNAs.

There is limited data on the relationship of miRNAs with parameters that may affect surgical management or reflect tumour prognosis. It was aimed to evaluate serum miRNA levels in breast carcinoma cases and reveal the relationship between these levels and prognosis-related factors such as the histological type of the tumour, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, Ki-67 index, HER-2neu, E-cadherin, tumour size, CK5/6, CA15.3 levels, number of tumour foci, number of metastatic lymph nodes, and status of receiving neoadjuvant therapy.
