MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous, non-coding small RNAs that regulate the expression of target genes. Previous studies have suggested that miRNAs are key regulators in cardiovascular systems. This study investigated the role of miR-873 in H9C2 cardiomyocytes by targeting glioma-associated oncogene 1 (GLI1). miR-873 was significantly up-regulated in serum samples from congenital heart disease (CHD) patients compared with those from normal individuals. Furthermore, miR-873 over-expression suppressed H9C2 proliferation and induced cell cycle arrest. Bioinformatic algorithms revealed a predicted target site for miR-873 in the 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of GLI1, which was verified using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. qPCR and western blot analysis also showed that miR-873 negatively regulated GLI1 mRNA and protein expression in H9C2 cells. Conversely, GLI1 over-expression partially reversed the growth-inhibitory effect of miR-873. To summarize, our data suggest that miR-873 is a novel miRNA that regulates H9C2 cell proliferation via targeting GLI1, and miR-873 may serve as a new potential biomarker diagnosis in CHD in the future.

Androgen receptor (AR)-negative triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), often termed quadruple-negative breast cancer (QNBC), disproportionately impacts women of African descent, leading to poorer overall survival (OS). MiRNAs regulate the expression of gene drivers involved in critical signaling pathways in TNBC, such as the gene, and their expression varies across races and breast cancer subtypes. This study investigates whether differentially expressed miRNAs influence AR transcription, potentially contributing to the observed disparities between African American (AA) and European American (EA) QNBC patients.

Purpose: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in progression of neuroblastoma (NB). LncRNA nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) has been shown to affect the development of multiple tumors. However, the effect of NEAT1 on NB remain unclear.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is among the most prevalent articular disorders, whose incidence is directly related to aging. Due to the antiinflammatory potential of curcumin as the active component of turmeric, the present study evaluated the effects of curcumin on the expression of genes related to T helper 17 (Th17), including forkhead box p3 (FOXP3), forkhead box o1 (FOXO1), transforming growth factor-β (TGFB1) and microRNA-873, human (HSA-MIR-873), in OA patients. Female patients with knee OA (n=30) were randomly categorized into 2 groups, including the intervention group who received curcumin (n=15) and the placebo (n=15) in a double-blind clinical trial for 3 months.

Regular physical activity is widely recognized for reducing the risk of various disorders, with skeletal muscles playing a key role by releasing biomolecules that benefit multiple organs and tissues. However, many individuals, particularly the elderly and those with clinical conditions, are unable to engage in physical exercise, necessitating alternative strategies to stimulate muscle cells to secrete beneficial biomolecules. Histone acetylation and deacetylation significantly influence exercise-induced gene expression, suggesting that targeting histone deacetylases (HDACs) could mimic some exercise responses.
