Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. MicroRNA (miRNA), a class of noncoding single-stranded RNA molecules, is involved in regulating cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, migration, invasion, and apoptosis. We showed that the expression of miR-346 was significantly increased in HCC tissues and cell lines, compared with noncancerous controls, and was associated with poor prognosis. Overexpression of miR-346 promoted proliferation and inhibited apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells, while knockdown of miR-346 significantly suppressed proliferation and induced apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Then we identified breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) as a direct target of miR-346 based on luciferase reporter assays. There was a negative correlation between miR-346 and BRMS1 expression at both the protein and mRNA levels. Furthermore, inhibition of BRMS1 expression reversed the tumor-suppression effects of miR-346 downregulation in HepG2 cells. These results indicate that miR-346 promotes HCC progression by regulating BRMS1 expression.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the genetic landscape of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its impact on resistance to osimertinib, using liquid biopsy to identify resistance mechanisms.
- It analyzed plasma-circulating free DNA (cfDNA) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from 30 NSCLC patients, detecting various molecular alterations that could indicate resistance to treatment.
- Findings revealed discrepancies in the mutation presence between cfDNA and CTCs, suggesting that combining both analyses provides a broader understanding of resistance and potential treatment options.

Article Synopsis
- Anoikis is a type of programmed cell death that occurs when cells detach from their surrounding matrix, and resistance to this process is a key factor in cancer progression, especially in glioblastoma (GBM).
- The study used advanced techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing and co-culture experiments to analyze the tumor microenvironment (TME) in GBM, focusing on specific cell clusters and their gene signatures associated with anoikis.
- Findings revealed that certain immune cells in the TME, particularly BRMS1 + microglia, play a significant role in regulating tumor cell behaviors such as invasion and resistance to therapy, indicating potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

The metastatic suppressor BRMS1 interacts with critical steps of the metastatic cascade in many cancer entities. As gliomas rarely metastasize, BRMS1 has mainly been neglected in glioma research. However, its interaction partners, such as NFκB, VEGF, or MMPs, are old acquaintances in neurooncology.
