Background: Transmembrane and ubiquitin-like domain-containing 1 protein (Tmub1) negatively regulates liver regeneration. However, whether this regulation involves posttranscriptional modification of Tmub1 expression is unknown.
Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate whether microRNA (miR)-27a/b regulates posttranscriptional modification of Tmub1 and cell proliferation during liver regeneration.
Methods: Tmub1 mRNA 3'-untranslated region (UTR) sequences were analyzed using online software. A luciferase assay was used to verify the relationship between miR-27a/b and the 3'-UTR of Tmub1. Rat partial hepatectomy models were used to investigate miR-27a/b and Tmub1 levels after partial hepatectomy. MiR-27a/b expression was down- and up-regulated with mimics and inhibitors, respectively, to observe the effects of miR-27a/b on Tmub1 expression. Quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot analyses were used to measure miR-27a/b and Tmub1 expression. Hepatocyte proliferation was measured using the CCK8 method for BRL-3A liver cells and proliferating cell nuclear antigen and histone H3 phosphorylation in the regenerating liver.
Results: A potential binding site of miR-27a/b was found in the 3'-UTR sequence of Tmub1. Our luciferase assay confirmed that the Tmub1 mRNA 3'-UTR was the target of miR-27a/b. We observed a temporal correlation between miR-27a/b and Tmub1 expression during liver regeneration. MiR-27a/b down-regulated Tmub1 expression both in vivo and in vitro. MiR-27a/b regulated hepatocyte proliferation during liver regeneration.
Conclusion: MiR-27a/b regulates hepatocyte proliferation by controlling posttranscriptional modification of Tmub1 during liver regeneration.

Cigarette smoking substantially promotes tumorigenesis and progression of colorectal cancer; however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Among 662 colorectal cancer patients, our investigation revealed a significant correlation between cigarette smoking and factors, such as large tumor size, poor differentiation, and high degree of invasion. Among the nicotine-derived nitrosamines, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) emerged as the most critical carcinogen, which significantly promoted the malignant progression of colorectal cancer both in vivo and in vitro.

Background: Ubiquitin-related proteins have garnered increasing attention for their roles in tumorigenesis. Transmembrane and ubiquitin-like domain-containing 1 (TMUB1) is a recently discovered protein in the ubiquitin-like domain family, yet its involvement in glioma remains poorly understood. This study is aimed at investigating the functional significance and clinical relevance of TMUB1 in glioma.

Introduction: Approximately 50% of cases with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) have unexplained etiology. Aberrant expression of transmembrane and ubiquitin-like domain containing 1 (TMUB1) is closely related to a series of diseases, including RSA. However, the function and underlying mechanism of TMUB1 in the occurrence of RSA has not been described.
