Purpose: MicroRNA-454 has been proven dysregulated in some human malignancies and correlated with tumor progression. However, its expression and function in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the effects of miR-454 in NSCLC tumorigenesis and development.
Methods: Using quantitative RT-PCR, we detected miR-454 expression in NSCLC cell lines and primary tumor tissues. The association of miR-454 expression with clinicopathological factors and prognosis was also analyzed. Then, the effects of miR-454 on the biological behavior of NSCLC cells were investigated. At last, the potential regulatory function of miR-454 on PTEN expression was confirmed.
Results: miR-454 was found to be up-regulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. High miR-454 expression was closely correlated with lymph node metastasis, advanced TNM stage, and shorter overall survival. Multivariate regression analysis corroborated that miR-454 overexpression was an independent unfavourable prognostic factor for patients with NSCLC. Down-regulation of miR-454 could significantly reduce NSCLC cell proliferation, enhance cell apoptosis, and impair cell invasion and migration in vitro, while up-regulation of miR-454 showed opposite effects. Further, PTEN was confirmed as a direct target of miR-454 by using Luciferase Reporter Assay.
Conclusions: These findings indicate that miR-454 may act as an oncogene in NSCLC and would serve as a potential therapy target for this disease.

Background/aim: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, manifests a wide range of clinical symptoms ranging from mild to moderate and severe. Host-related factors influence the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection; for instance, the expression of host microRNAs (miRNAs) could influence the progression and complications of COVID-19. This study aimed to determine the expression pattern of endogenous miRNAs in 80 severe COVID-19 patients compared to a group of healthy individuals.

Article Synopsis
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex disorder, and this study focuses on the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network in the cumulus cells of PCOS patients, exploring how different RNA types interact to regulate gene expression.
- Analyzing data from two cohorts of PCOS patients and healthy controls, the study identified a significant ceRNA network with 5 lncRNAs, 3 miRNAs, and 36 mRNAs that show differential expression, highlighting their potential roles in the disease's biological processes.
- The study suggests that the specific HOXA11-AS-hsa-miR-454-3p-CCND2 network could serve as a promising biomarker for diagnosing PCOS,

miR-454-3p has been reported to be a tumor-suppressive microRNA (miRNA) in multiple cancer types. We identified the kinase STK33 mRNA, which is a high-risk factor for survival in neuroblastoma (NB) patients, as being a substrate of miR-454-3p in NB. Even though STK33 is an attractive target for several cancers, the development of inhibitors of STK33 has been challenging.

Objectives: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is considered the most assailant subtype of gliomas, presenting a formidable obstacle because of its inherent resistance to temozolomide (TMZ). This study aimed to characterize the function of lncRNA NEAT1 in facilitating the advancement of gliomas.
Methods: The expression level of NEAT1 in glioma tissues and cells was detected by qRT-PCR.
