Aberrant expression of miR-148b has been found in several types of cancer, but its expression and potential biologic role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are still largely unknown. Here, we found that miR-148b was commonly under-expressed in human non-small celllung cancer (NSCLC) specimens and cell lines. The overexpression of miR-148b dramatically suppressed NSCLC cell proliferation and migration. Furthermore, miR-148b could regulate carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) expression by luciferase reporter assay. On the other hand, CEA was widely up-regulated in NSCLC specimens, and its mRNA levels were inversely correlated with miR-148b expression. These suggest that CEA expression may be regulated by miR-148b. Collectively, our findings indicate miR-148b is low expression in NSCLC cells, which results in CEA overexpression and disease progression in NSCLC patients.

Molecules in immune cells plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke (IS). The aim of this study is to profile the landscape of molecules on the basis of immune cells in IS peripheral blood and construct an immunoregulatory competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. We collected and combined multiple public transcriptome datasets from the peripheral blood of IS patients and healthy controls.

Theabrownin (TB), the primary pigment in Pu-erh tea, has shown potential in alleviating metabolic syndrome (MS), though its precise mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the effects of Pu-erh tea water extract (WE) and TB on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced MS in rats, focusing on miRNA regulation and gut microbiota composition. Both WE and TB significantly improved markers of MS, including dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and inflammation.

Extracellular vesicles, particularly exosomes, play a pivotal role in the cellular mechanisms underlying cancer. This review explores the various functions of exosomes in the progression, growth, and metastasis of cancers affecting the male and female reproductive systems. Exosomes are identified as key mediators in intercellular communication, capable of transferring bioactive molecules such as miRNAs, proteins, and other nucleic acids that influence cancer cell behavior and tumor microenvironment interactions.

Cerebral vasospasm (CVS) is an important contributor to delayed cerebral ischemia following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), leading to high morbidity and long-term disability. While several microRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in vasospasm, the underlying mechanisms for CVS remain poorly understood. Our study aims to identify miRNAs that may contribute to the development of CVS.
