Background/aims: Studies have shown that miR-194 functions as a tumour suppressor and is associated with tumour growth and metastasis. This study intends to uncover the mechanism of tumour suppression by miR-194. The expression of miR-194 in osteosarcoma cell lines and tissues were monitored by real-time PCR.
Methods: The proliferation ability was examined by MTT assay. Migration and apoptosis of cells were monitored by migration assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The regulation of miR-194 on CDH2 was determined by luciferase assays and western blot assays.
Results: The results showed that miR-194 was significantly reduced in osteosarcoma compared with that in normal bone tissue. Overexpression of miR-194 significantly attenuated the proliferation and migration and induced the apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that miR-194 has inhibited the malignant behaviour of osteosarcoma by downregulating CDH2 expression.
Conclusions: These findings suggested that miR-194 may act as a tumour suppressor in osteosarcoma. miR-194/CDH2 may be a novel therapeutic target in the treatment of osteosarcoma.

Preeclampsia (PE), an idiopathic hypertensive disorder that arises during pregnancy, poses a serious threat to the health of expectant mothers. Human chorionic trophoblast cells (HTR-8/SVneo) are associated with the development of PE. It has been reported that circ_0008440 expression is abnormally increased in the placental tissues of PE patients.

There are few reliable biomarkers for gastrointestinal toxicity, and the further identification of such markers can improve the accuracy and speed of toxicological evaluations. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of several recently proposed biomarkers-plasma citrulline, fecal calprotectin, fecal bile acid, and plasma miRNAs (miR-194 and -215)-in detecting intestinal toxicity. To this end, cysteamine hydrocholoride (cysteamine, 600 or 900 mg/kg, PO), indomethacin (10 mg/kg, PO), or 2,4-Dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid hydrate (DNBS, 20 mg/kg, IR) were administered to male Wistar rats to establish models of gastric/duodenal, jejunum/ileum, or colonic damage, respectively.

When using the reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) technique for quantitative assessment of microRNA (miRNA) expression, normalizing data using a stable endogenous gene is essential; however, no universally adequate reference gene exists. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine, via the RNA-Seq technique, the most adequate endogenous normalizer for the expression assessment of plasma miRNAs in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Two massive sequencing procedures were performed (a) to identify differentially expressed miRNAs between patients with COVID-19 and healthy volunteers (n = 12), and (b) to identify differentially expressed miRNAs between patients with severe COVID-19 and those with mild COVID-19 (n = 8).
