AI Article Synopsis

  • Autophagy plays a critical role in various diseases such as infections, aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer, and its regulation occurs at both the transcriptional and translational levels.
  • Recent research highlights the importance of microRNAs in controlling the autophagy process, sparking interest in this area.
  • This text provides an overview of how microRNAs regulate autophagy, specifically focusing on the mitophagy receptor NIX, and discusses methodologies for studying these interactions.

Article Abstract

The dysregulation of autophagy is implicated in many pathological disorders including infections, aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Autophagy can be precisely controlled both transcriptionally and translationally. Accumulating evidences show that the autophagy response is regulated by microRNAs, which therefore becomes subject area of interest in recent years. Herein, we give a brief introduction of the recent advancement in the regulation of microRNA on autophagy, and then we focus on the microRNA regulation of the mitophagy receptor, NIX. Finally, we present the methodology on how to study it in detail.

Background: Recent research indicates that the intestinal microbial community, known as the gut microbiota, may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). To understand this relationship, this study used a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to explore and analyze the currently little-known connection between gut microbiota and NAFLD, as well as new findings and possible future pathways in this field.

Aim: To provide an in-depth analysis of the current focus issues and research developments on the interaction between gut microbiota and NAFLD.

The interaction relationship between miRNAs and genes is important as miRNAs play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. In the literature, several databases have been constructed to curate known miRNA target genes, which are valuable resources but likely only represent a small fraction of all miRNA-gene interactions. In this study, we constructed machine learning models to predict miRNA target genes that have not been previously reported.
