Objective: Nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-954;B)-induced inflammation leads to myocarditis and heart dysfunction. How microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to this process is poorly defined. The aim of this study was to investigate whether miRNAs regulate NF-954;B-induced inflammation in experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) in vivo.
Methods And Results: NF-954;B and its related proinflammatory genes, including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), were activated in EAM. Profiling of NF-954;B-related miRNAs revealed that miR-590-3p was strikingly reduced in EAM. We found IL-6-induced proinflammatory signaling via miR-590-3p reduction, p50 induction, NF-954;B activation and IL-6/TNF-a expression. Moreover, a luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-590-3p directly interacted with the 3' UTR (untranslated region) of the p50 subunit, and that miR-590-3p overexpression inhibited p50 expression. Finally, miR-590-3p transfection through adeno-associated virus significantly inhibited p50 expression, suppressed NF-954;B activity and blocked IL-6/TNF-a expression in vivo, reducing the lesion area and improving cardiac function in EAM.
Conclusion: miR-590-3p is a novel NF-954;B-related miRNA that directly targets the p50 subunit. This may provide a novel strategy for the treatment of myocarditis.

Background: Posttraumatic elbow stiffness is a complex complication with two characteristics of capsular contracture and heterotopic ossification. Currently, genomic mechanisms and pathogenesis of posttraumatic elbow stiffness remain inadequately understood. This study aims to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and elucidate molecular networks of posttraumatic elbow stiffness, providing novel insights into disease mechanisms at transcriptome level.

Background: Wilms' tumour is the most prevalent abdominal malignancy in children. This study focused on the mechanism of the /Dickkopf 1 () axis in Wilms' tumour.
Methods: The mRNA levels of and in 49 pairs of Wilms' tumour pathological specimens and normal tissues were determined using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).

Sepsis is a fatal syndrome characterized by uncontrolled systemic inflammatory responses. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the modulation of various pathophysiological processes, but their potential role in sepsis has largely been unexplored. In this study, we observed differential expression of circMLH3 between healthy volunteers and septic patients, and revealed the value of circMLH3 for sepsis diagnosis and prognostic prediction.

Background: There is considerable evidence that microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate several key tumor-associated genes/pathways and may themselves have a dual regulatory function either as tumor suppressors or oncogenic miRNA, depending on the tumor type. MicroRNA-590-3p (miR-590-3p) is a small non-coding RNA involved in the initiation and progression of numerous tumors. However, its expression pattern and biological role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are controversial.
