In the road for network medicine the newly emerged systems-level subpathway-based analysis methods offer new disease genes, drug targets and network-based biomarkers. In parallel, paired miRNA/mRNA expression data enable simultaneously monitoring of the micronome effect upon the signaling pathways. Towards this orientation, we present a methodological pipeline for the identification of differentially expressed subpathways along with their miRNA regulators by using KEGG signaling pathway maps, miRNA-target interactions and expression profiles from paired miRNA/mRNA experiments. Our pipeline offered new biological insights on a real application of paired miRNA/mRNA expression profiles with respect to the dynamic changes from colostrum to mature milk whey; several literature supported genes and miRNAs were recontextualized through miRNA-mediated differentially expressed subpathways.

This study explores the role of LINC00839 and its potential interaction with the miR-195-5p/cyclin E1 (CCNE1) axis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Using The Cancer Genome Atlas, we analyzed lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA sequencing data for OSCC. Different online tools were applied to detect lncRNA-related miRNAs and their target mRNAs, forming a lncRNA/miRNA/mRNA axis.

Dysregulated long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression is linked to various cancers and may be influenced by oncogenic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, a known and detectable risk factor in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. However, research on the oncogenic role of EBV-induced lncRNAs in OSCC is limited. To identify lncRNA-associated EBV infection and OSCC carcinogenesis, the differential expression of RNA-seq datasets from paired normal adjacent and OSCC tissues, and microarray data from EBV-negative and EBV-positive SCC25 cells, were identified and selected, respectively, for interaction, functional analysis, and CCK-8 cell proliferation, wound healing, and invasion Transwell assays.

Comprehensive Analysis of circRNA-Related mRNAs as Prognostic Factors in Non-Smoking Women with Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Int J Gen Med

December 2024

Department of Respiratory Oncology, The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui, 230031, People's Republic of China.

Background: Non-smoking women with lung adenocarcinoma(NSWLA) is a significant health problem globally; the carcinogenesis and prognostic signature remain poorly understood. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are gradually implicated in cancer formation through sponging miRNAs to regulate mRNAs.

Methods: Tumor and paracancerous specimens from non-smoking women after lung adenocarcinoma surgery were collected for high-throughput sequencing of circRNA.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate myocardial inflammation in patients with desmoplakin (DSP) cardiomyopathy using FDG PET/CT imaging and assess circulating inflammation biomarkers.
  • Ten DSP cardiomyopathy participants and four titin cardiomyopathy participants were recruited; no significant differences in key inflammation markers were found between the groups.
  • The results showed some non-specific myocardial FDG uptake in both groups but no overall differences, suggesting similar inflammation profiles in DSP and titin cardiomyopathies.

Transcriptome-wide identification and characterization of Toll pathway genes in Riptortus pedestris (Hemiptera: Alydidae).

Dev Comp Immunol

November 2024

Institute of Entomology, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, 300071, PR China. Electronic address:

The Toll pathway was first identified in Drosophila and plays an essential role in defense against infection by various pathogens. To date, various noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been demonstrated to maintain immune homeostasis by regulating several target genes in the insect Toll pathway. However, the characterization and function of Toll pathway genes involved in the response to environmental changes at the posttranscriptional level associated with gut bacterial changes in Riptortus pedestris, which is a significant pest of soybeans, remain unclear.
