MicroRNA (miRNA)-126 is a known regulator of hematopoietic stem cell quiescence. We engineered murine hematopoiesis to express miRNA-126 across all differentiation stages. Thirty percent of mice developed monoclonal B cell leukemia, which was prevented or regressed when a tetracycline-repressible miRNA-126 cassette was switched off. Regression was accompanied by upregulation of cell-cycle regulators and B cell differentiation genes, and downregulation of oncogenic signaling pathways. Expression of dominant-negative p53 delayed blast clearance upon miRNA-126 switch-off, highlighting the relevance of p53 inhibition in miRNA-126 addiction. Forced miRNA-126 expression in mouse and human progenitors reduced p53 transcriptional activity through regulation of multiple p53-related targets. miRNA-126 is highly expressed in a subset of human B-ALL, and antagonizing miRNA-126 in ALL xenograft models triggered apoptosis and reduced disease burden.

Background And Objective: Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (ASCs-Exos) possess angiogenic potential, which can enhance the retention rate of fat grafts. Hypoxic preconditioning can augment their functionality. However, the optimal conditions for hypoxic preconditioning and the specific mechanisms by which it exerts its effects are not well defined.

Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a pathological change and independent risk factor in cardiovascular diseases. In this work, a gold-based metallene structure was prepared as sensing interface based on mPEG-SH modified Au nanoparticles for the CAC detection. Firstly, a novel nanovesicle was self-assembled with excellent conductivity.

Article Synopsis
  • - UC-EVs (umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles) are promising natural nanocarriers that can deliver miRNA-126, which helps maintain blood vessel health and protects kidneys from injury.
  • - The study tested the effectiveness of UC-EVs carrying miRNA-126 and anti-miRNA-126 on kidney cells exposed to damage from gentamicin, showing improved cell cycle regulation and reduced DNA damage.
  • - Results suggest that UC-EVs not only transport beneficial miRNA but may also contain other protective components that enhance their nephroprotective effects in kidney injury scenarios.

Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) has the highest level of mortality and disability among all rheumatological diseases. Being heterogenous leads to no predictable method for clinical courses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of miRNA-126 and soluble VCAM-1 protein markers in patients with SSc, and to examine the assossiation of their levels with the severity of clinical and paraclinical parameters in patients with SSc.

Introduction: A growing body of strong evidence shows that the dysfunction of miRNAs plays key roles in the development and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD), however, little data has been reported on the association of their SNPs with PD susceptibility. In this study, we investigated the association of regulatory miR-SNP rs4636297A > G with a functional effect on the expression of miRNA-126, as a key dysregulated miRNA in the PD, with the susceptibility and clinical features of the PD.

Methods And Materials: In current study, we included a population consisting of 120 patients with PD and 120 clinically healthy individuals, and their blood samples were taken.
