Objective: Different effects of microRNA-495 (miR-495) on human cancers have been exhibited in recent years. However, the specific function of miR-495 remains uncertain in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Thus, we aim to explore the role of miR-495 in NSCLC.
Patients And Methods: The expressions of miR-495 and transcription factor 4 (TCF4) were detected through quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay. Western blot was used to measure the protein expression of relative genes. The relationship between miR-495 and TCF4 was testified by the dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. The function of miR-495 was investigated through cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and transwell assay.
Results: MiR-495 was downregulated in NSCLC tissues. Overexpression of miR-495 inhibited the migration, invasion and proliferation of NSCLC cells. Further, TCF4 was a direct target gene of miR-495. TCF4 was highly expressed in NSCLC tissues. In addition, miR-495 inhibited the progression of NSCLC through targeting TCF4. Furthermore, miR-495 inhibited EMT and Wnt/β-catenin pathway in NSCLC.
Conclusions: MiR-495 inhibited the progression of NSCLC by targeting TCF4 and inactivating Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Poor intrauterine environments increase the prevalence of chronic metabolic diseases in offspring, whereas maternal exercise is an effective measure to break this vicious intergenerational cycle. Placenta is increasingly being studied to explore its role in maternal-fetal metabolic cross-talk. The association between placental miRNA and offspring development trajectories has been established, yet the specific role and mechanism thereof in maternal exercise-induced metabolic protection remain elusive.

Many pathological conditions lead to defects in intestinal epithelial integrity and loss of barrier function; Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) has been shown to augment intestinal barrier integrity, though the exact mechanisms are not completely understood. We have previously shown that overexpression of Sphingosine Kinase 1 (SphK1), the rate limiting enzyme for S1P synthesis, significantly increased S1P production and cell proliferation. Here we show that microRNA 495 (miR-495) upregulation led to decreased levels of SphK1 resultant from a direct effect at the SphK1 mRNA.

Background: Quinoa contains far more nutrients than any traditional grain crop. It is known that terpenoids in quinoa have anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects, but their role in reversing drug resistance remains unclear.
Results: Our previous studies showed that quinoa-derived terpenoid compounds (QBT) can inhibit the occurrence and development of colon cancer.
