Background: Sarcomas consist of both tumor and stromal cells, and the interaction between these compartments is critical for tumor progression and metastasis. Tumor-derived factors may alter the differentiation capacity of the adjacent stromal cells. The aim of this study was to elucidate the paracrine impact of liposarcoma cells on pre-adipocytes, their adipogenic differentiation process and miRNA expression profile.
Materials And Methods: 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were exposed to sarcoma pre-conditioned media. Following induction of adipogenic differentiation morphometrical changes were assessed. Differences in miRNA expression of conditioned and non-conditioned 3T3-L1 cells were analyzed.
Results: Exposure to sarcoma pre-conditioned media substantially altered the differentiation capability of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. Significant changes in the miRNA expression profile between conditioned and non-conditioned pre-adipocytes were observed.
Conclusion: Sarcoma cells directly modulate pre-adipocyte differentiation. This study demonstrates that sarcoma cells influence differentiation of pre-adipocytes via paracrine factors and alter their miRNA expression.

Next-generation cancer phenomics by deployment of multiple molecular endophenotypes coupled with high-throughput analyses of gene expression offer veritable opportunities for triangulation of discovery findings in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) research. This study reports differentially expressed genes in NSCLC using publicly available datasets (GSE18842 and GSE229253), uncovering 130 common genes that may potentially represent crucial molecular signatures of NSCLC. Additionally, network analyses by GeneMANIA and STRING revealed significant coexpression and interaction patterns among these genes, with four notable hub genes-, , and -identified as pivotal in NSCLC progression.

This study investigates the influence of miR-128-2-5p within serum-derived exosomes (Exos) on COL6A2 expression and its implications in postmenopausal osteoporosis (POMP). Utilizing bioinformatics analysis, we identified 1317 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), primarily enriched in the focal adhesion pathway-a critical regulator of osteoblast adhesion. A significant gene, COL6A2, emerged as notably downregulated in POMP, possessing potential as a diagnostic marker.
