Aim: To explore the expression of microRNA-106b (miRNA-106b) in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Settings And Design: miRNAs are short regulatory RNAs that negatively modulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level, and are deeply involved in the pathogenesis of several types of cancer. miRNA-106b has been shown to play an oncogenic role in tumor progression. The expression of miRNA-106b is detected in this study.
Subjects And Methods: Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Northern blotting were used to detect the expression level of miRNA-106b in 200 NSCLC samples.
Statistical Analysis Used: All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 16.0 software. Results were statistically evaluated using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U-test. Survival curves were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Results: miRNA-106b expression is increased in NSCLC tissues. Statistical analysis showed that overexpression of miRNA-106b was strongly associated with lymph node metastasis, stage of tumor node metastasis classification, and poor prognosis. Moreover, there was a significant difference in the miRNA-106b expression levels between smoking and nonsmoking patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that miRNA-106b was an independent prognostic factor for NSCLC patients.
Conclusions: These data suggest that aberrantly expressed miRNA-106b may contribute to the development of NSCLC.

Coronary artery diseases (CAD) represent a significant global health concern and are recognized as a primary contributor to mortality on a worldwide scale. Early diagnosis of CAD is one of promising goal to manage this disorder. Recent investigations have highlighted the pivotal involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in diverse health conditions, notably CAD.

We present a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor array for microRNA (miRNA) detection that utilizes photocatalytic silver staining on titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles as a signal enhancement technique for high sensitivity with an internal reference sensor for high reproducibility. A sandwich hybridization was performed on working sensors of the SAW sensor array that could simultaneously capture and detect three miRNAs (miRNA-21, miRNA-106b, and miRNA-155) known to be upregulated in cancer. Sensor responses due to signal amplification varied depending on the concentration of synthetic miRNAs.

To investigate the inhibitory effect of microRNA-106b in the process of migration and invasion of human malignant pleural mesothelioma cell NCI-H2452. In April 2017, the expression level of miRNA-106b in malignant pleural mesothelioma cells (NCI-H2452, MSTO-211H, NCI-H2052) and normal mesothelial cells MeT-5A was detected and analyzed. Using NCI-H2452 cells as a model, the NCI-H2452 cell model with miRNA-106b overexpression was established by transfecting miRNA-106b mimics.

This study was conducted on samples from patients enrolled in a randomized double-masked placebo-controlled trial on the effect of synbiotic supplementation on the IL-17/IL-23 pathway and disease activity in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) to investigate the effects of synbiotic supplementation on regulatory T (Treg) cells' response in these patients. Forty-eight axSpA patients were randomized to take one synbiotic capsule or placebo daily for 12 weeks. Treg cell proportion, gene expression of forkhead box protein P3 (Foxp3), microRNA (miRNA)-25, miRNA-106b, miRNA-146a, interleukin (IL)-10, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β as well as serum IL-10 and TGF-β levels were assessed before and after the trial.

Objective: To analyze the expression characteristics of osteoporosis-related genes by bioinformatics and elucidate the pathogenesis of osteoporosis.
Methods: The differentially expressed genes (DEGs), microRNA (miRNA), and genes with differentially methylated regions (DMRS) in promoters were identified. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and performed.
