Upregulation of miR-744 is associated with poor prognosis in many types of cancer patients, but it is still unclear how miR-744 becomes elevated in these tumors. In this study, we found that ectopic c-Jun elevated miR-744 expression, whereas c-Jun attenuation reduced miR-744 expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay confirmed the direct binding of c-Jun to the promoter of miR-744. The binding site of -343 to -349 bp within the most potential promoter like sequence of miR-744 was further validated by luciferase reporter gene assays. C-Jun-induced miR-744 upregulation could significantly promote migration and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, hence ectopic c-Jun was sufficient to rescue the migratory and invasive ability of these cells when miR-744 was knockdown. Additionally, a positive correlation between the expression levels of miR-744 and c-Jun was revealed in NSCLC samples with high (top 10%) level of miR-744 expression from the TCGA dataset. Taken together, our results demonstrated for the first time the regulatory mechanism of miR-744 transcription by c-Jun, providing a potential mechanism underlying the upregulation of miR-744 in cancers.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive pharyngeal collapses during sleep, which leads to intermittent hypoxia, a risk factor of OSA-related cardiovascular morbidity.In this work, exosome isolation and identification with ultracentrifugation, transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and Western blot assay were carried out. H9C2 cells were subjected to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) treatment, which was followed by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) -derived exosome treatment.

Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the most common critical illnesses in clinical practice, with sepsis being the most common cause of ALI. Sivelestat sodium (SV) hydrate is a highly effective inhibitor of neutrophil elastase, specifically targeting ALI related to systemic inflammatory response syndrome. The aim of this study is to examine the mechanisms by which SV can reduce the severity of ALI resulting from sepsis.

Article Synopsis
- Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) involves immune-related harm to lung epithelial cells, and this study explores how microRNA (miRNA) changes in mast cell-derived exosomes impact ARDS development.
- The research found that lipopolysaccharide-treated exosomes lowered the protective protein GPX4 and increased inflammation-related factors in human bronchial epithelial cells, linked to decreased levels of a specific miRNA (miR-744).
- Importantly, lower miR-744 levels were connected to increased lung damage and inflammation in both cell and mouse models, suggesting that restoring miR-744 might offer new therapeutic avenues for treating ARDS.

Background: Within-subject variability of semen parameters and molecular components of ejaculates in young men remains poorly understood.
Objectives: To investigate intraindividual variability (IIV) of semen parameters and molecular markers in repeated ejaculates from young men.
Materials And Methods: Semen parameters were assessed in samples collected 6-8 days apart from 164 18-19-year old participants of the Russian Children's Study, a prospective cohort.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is characterised by its aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Early detection and accurate prediction of therapeutic responses remain critical for improving patient outcomes. In the present study, we investigated the potential of circulating microRNA (miRNA) as non-invasive biomarkers in patients with NSCLC.
