Neuroblastoma is a complex form of cancer with highly heterogeneous clinical behavior that arises during childhood from precursor cells of the sympathetic nervous system. In patients with neuroblastoma, mortality often occurs as a result of metastasis. The disease predominantly spreads to bone marrow, with a survival rate of ~40%. The current study demonstrates that microRNA (miR)-506 directly targets and downregulates Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1 (ROCK1) in transforming growth factor (TGF)-β non-canonical pathways. It may be concluded that ROCK1 contributes to the invasion and migration of neuroblastoma cells by directly downregulating miR-506; thus, leading to the upregulation of ROCK1, which promotes cell invasion and migration. The present results provide a novel understanding of how miR-506 directly regulates TGF-β non-canonical signaling.

Osteosarcoma is a common primary malignant tumor of bone, and doxorubicin is one of the most widely used therapeutic drugs. While the problem of doxorubicin resistance limits the long-term treatment benefits in osteosarcoma patients. The role of miRNAs and their target genes in osteosarcoma have become increasingly prominent.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers performed a high-content screening in neuroblastoma cells to find cell cycle regulators affecting cell differentiation, discovering that knocking down CDKN3 induced significant neurite outgrowth and differentiation markers.
- CDKN3 knockdown led to decreased proliferation markers and reduced colony formation in neuroblastoma cells, correlating high CDKN3 levels with poor patient survival in public datasets.
- The study also revealed that differentiation molecules down-regulate CDKN3, while N-Myc promotes its expression, suggesting a complex regulatory network that plays a role in neuroblastoma progression.

Background: Airway remodeling, which contributes to the clinical course of childhood asthma, occurs due to airway inflammation and is featured by anomalous biological behaviors of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs). microRNA (miRNA) plays an essential role in the etiopathogenesis of asthma.
Objective: This research was aimed to characterize miR-506 in asthma and uncover potential regulatory machinery.
Hepatic stellate cell-released CXCL1 aggravates HCC malignant behaviors through the MIR4435-2HG/miR-506-3p/TGFB1 axis.

Hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation is a critical event in the development of hepatic fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). By the release of soluble cytokines, chemokines, and chemotaxis, HSCs affect HCC cell phenotypes through a complex tumor microenvironment. In this study, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify the TGF-β signaling pathway as a key signaling pathway in Hep3B cells cultured in HSC conditioned medium.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been confirmed to be associated with the progression of various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the role and mechanism of circHIPK3 in HCC are still unclear. To investigate its function, circHIPK3 expression was first determined by RT-qPCR in HCC tissues or cells.
