Introduction: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that regulate multiple cellular processes during cancer progression. MiR-335 has recently been identified to be involved in tumorigenesis of several cancers such as ovarian cancer and gastric cancer. However, the regulation of miR-335 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has not been reported yet.
Methods: Expression of miR-335 in tumor and their normal matched tissues was determined by quantitative real-time PCR in 67 ESCC patients and its association with overall survival of patients was analyzed by statistical analysis.
Results: The expression level of miR-335 was reduced in malignant tissue samples in comparison to normal matched tissue (P < 0.05). It was also proved that miR-335 expression was associated with ESCC histological grade, lymph node metastasis, tumor stage and clinical stage (P < 0.05). In addition, the Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed that low miR-335 expression was associated with poor prognosis in ESCC patients. Multivariate analysis showed that miR-335 expression was an independent prognostic marker of overall survival of ESCC patients.
Conclusions: The study proves for the first time that miR-335 is down regulated in a majority of ESCC patients. Our results indicate that miR-335 expression is an independent prognostic factor for patients with esophageal cancer, which might be a potential valuable biomarker for ESCC.

Epigenetic modification regulates the ligamentum flavum hypertrophy through miR-335-3p/SERPINE2/β-catenin signaling pathway.
Cell Mol Biol Lett
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, Peking University Third Hospital, Peking University, No.49 NorthGarden Road, Haidian District, Beijing, 100191, Beijing, China.
Background: Epigenetic modifications have been proved to play important roles in the spinal degenerative diseases. As a type of noncoding RNA, the microRNA (miRNA) is a vital class of regulatory factor in the epigenetic modifications, while the role of miRNAs in the regulation of epigenetic modifications in ligamentum flavum hypertrophy (LFH) has not been fully investigated.
Methods: The miRNA sequencing analysis was used to explore the change of miRNA expression during the fibrosis of ligamentum flavum (LF) cells caused by the TGF-β1 (10 ng/ml).
Circ_0001944 Targets the miR-1292-5p/FBLN2 Axis to Facilitate Sorafenib Resistance in Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Impeding Ferroptosis.

Background: Sorafenib, an orally active potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), represented a primary treatment in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Unfortunately, sorafenib resistance was regarded as a huge obstacle for HCC treatment.
Methods: RNA-sequencing including circRNA Sequencing (circRNA-Seq) for circular RNAs (circRNAs), miRNA Sequencing (miRNA-Seq) for microRNAs (miRNAs), as well as mRNA Sequencing (mRNA-Seq) for mRNAs in , were performed.
Exploring differential miRNA expression profiles in muscular and visceral adipose tissue of patients with severe obesity.

November 2024
Health Research Institute of the Principality of Asturias (ISPA), Oviedo, Asturias, Spain.
Background: This study aims to investigate the differential miRNA expression profile between the visceral white adipose tissue and the skeletal muscle of people with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery.
Methods: Skeletal muscle and visceral adipose tissue samples of 10 controls and 38 people with obesity (50% also with type 2 diabetes) undergoing bariatric surgery were collected. miRNA expression profiles were analyzed using Next-Generation Sequencing and subsequently validated using RT-PCR.

Hair follicle development relies on both the epithelial-mesenchymal interaction (EMI) and the proliferation of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). This intricate process involves numerous regulatory molecules. Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in hair follicle development.

Dysfunctions in miRNA production have been recently investigated as predictors of neoplasms and their therapeutic strategies. In this review, we summarize the available knowledge on miRNAs and cardiac tumors (such as myxoma) and mediastinal tumors (such as thymoma) and propose new avenues for future research. MiRNAs are crucial for cardiac development through the expression of cardiac transcription factors (miR-335-5p), hinder the cell cycle by modulating the activity of transcription factors (miR-126-3p, miR-320a), modulate the production of inflammatory factors such as interleukins (miR-217), and interfere with cell proliferation or apoptosis (miR-218, miR-634 and miR-122).
