Article Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between miR-122-5p and DUSP4 and their effects on gastric cancer (GC) cell mobility and invasiveness.
Methods: Abnormally expressed miRNAs and mRNAs were analyzed using microarrays. The miR-122-5p and DUSP4 mRNA expression levels in GC tissues and cells were determined by RT-qPCR. The target relationship between miR-122-5p and DUSP4 was validated by dual luciferase reporter assay. GC cell mobility and invasiveness were respectively observed by wound healing assay and transwell invasion assay. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used for detection of the expressions of DUSP4 protein and MMP2 and MMP9 proteins related to cell invasion and migration. The migration and invasion abilities of gastric cancer cells in vivo were evaluated according to the number of lung metastatic nodules in mice.
Results: The expression of miR-122-5p in GC tissues and cells was significantly down-regulated, whereas DUSP4 expression was up-regulated. Bioinformatics prediction strategies and dual luciferase reporter assay verified the binding sites of miR-122-5p on 3'UTR of DUSP4 and the target relationship between miR-122-5p and DUSP4. Overexpression of miR-122-5p and knockdown of DUSP4 in BGC-823 cells observantly suppressed GC cell mobility and invasiveness, whereas downregulation of miR-122-5p expression promoted cell metastasis. MiR-122-5p inhibited GC cell mobility and invasiveness and pulmonary tumor metastasis via downregulation of DUSP4.
Conclusion: MiR-122-5p restrained migration and invasion abilities of GC cells by repressing DUSP4.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) play an important role in regulating the occurrence and development of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). miR‑122‑5p is widely considered a tumour inhibitor, which has not been fully explored in PTC. Bioinformatics analysis identified dual specificity phosphatase 4 (DUSP4), a tumour promoter gene for PTC, as a downstream target of miR‑122‑5p.

Aims: The aim of this study was to explore the role of miR-122-5p in acute lung injury.
Materials And Methods: Mice were subjected to intratracheal injection of lipopolysaccharide to establish an acute lung injury model. The mice also received miR-122-5p antagonist and mimic via injection to inhibit or overexpress miR-122-5p in the lung tissue, respectively.

Objective: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been indicated to play an important role in many different diseases. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease which causes a change of morphology and function in articular cartilage and synovium, leading to cartilage degradation. Synovitis is a common pathological feature of OA, owing to the proliferation of synoviocytes.
