Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) is necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of this neurodegenerative disorder. It is therefore important to detect the most important genes and miRNAs, which are associated with molecular events, and studying their interactions for recognition of AD mechanisms. Here we focus on the genes and miRNAs expression profile, which we have detected the miRNA target genes involved in AD. These are the most quintessential to find the most important miRNA, to target genes and their important pathways. A total of 179 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRs) and 1404 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained from a comprehensive meta-analysis. Also, regions specific genes with their molecular function in AD have been demonstrated. We then focused on miRNAs which regulated most genes in AD, alongside we analyzed their pathways. The miRNA-30a-5p and miRNA-335 elicited a major function in AD after analyzing the regulatory network, we showed they were the most regulatory miRNAs in the AD. In conclusion, we demonstrated the most important genes, miRNAs, miRNA-mRNA interactions and their related pathways in AD using Bioinformatics methods. Accordingly, our defined genes and miRNAs could be used for future molecular studies in the context of AD.

Myostatin (Mstn) negatively regulates muscle growth and Mstn deficiency induced "double-skeletal muscle" development in vertebrates, including tilapias. In this study, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of skeletal muscle from both wild-type and mstnb males to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle hypertrophy in mstnb mutants. We identified 4697 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 113 differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (DE lncRNAs), 211 differentially expressed circular RNAs (DE circRNAs), and 98 differentially expressed microRNAs (DE miRNAs).

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 virus's frequent mutations have made disease control with vaccines and antiviral drugs difficult; as a result, there is a need for more effective coronavirus drugs. Therefore, detecting the expression of various diagnostic biomarkers, including ncRNA in SARS-CoV2, implies new therapeutic strategies for the disease.

Aim: Our study aimed to measure NEAT-1, miR-374b-5p, and IL6 in the serum of COVID-19 patients, demonstrating the correlation between target genes to explore the possible relationship between them.

Purpose: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by non-pigmented ciliary epithelial (NPCE) cells under oxidative stress may contribute to primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) pathogenesis by altering gene expression in human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells. This study investigated the impact of microRNAs (miRNAs) carried by NPCE-derived EVs on HTM cell gene expression under oxidative stress conditions.

Methods: NPCE cells were exposed to oxidative stress, and EVs were isolated from control and stressed cells.
