MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that could regulate gene expressions transcriptionally or post-transcriptionally through binding to 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which were identified to be associated with tumorigenesis in various neoplasms. Among them, miR-101, encoded by two precursor transcripts (miR-101-1 and miR-101-2), was recognized to serve as a tumor suppressor via targeting critical oncogenes or anti-oncogenes. Additionally, studies have shown that miR-101 was participated in multiple cancer-related biological processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, drug resistance, invasion and metastasis. In this review, we aim to summarize the function of miR-101 in different biological processes by figuring out the underlying target gene networks and explore its potential role as a biomarker in diverse neoplasms, which will provide a brand-new insight in molecular targeting cancer treatment.

Plants produce defensive toxins to deter herbivores. In response, some specialized herbivores evolved resistance and even the capacity to sequester toxins, affecting interactions at higher trophic levels. Here, we test the hypothesis that potential natural enemies of specialized herbivores are differentially affected by plant toxins depending on their level of adaptation to the plant-herbivore system.

The underlying mechanisms of the association of bone health with depression - an experimental study.

Medical Sociology and Psychobiology, Department of Health and Physical Activity, University of Potsdam, 14469, Potsdam, Germany.

Background: Depression constitutes a risk factor for osteoporosis, but underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms are not fully understood. MiRNAs influence gene expression and are carried by extracellular vesicles (EV), affecting cell-cell communication.

Aims: (1) Identify the difference in miRNA expression between depressed patients and healthy controls; (2) Analyze associations of these miRNAs with bone turnover markers; (3) Analyze target genes of differentially regulated miRNAs and predict associated pathways regarding depression and bone metabolism.

This study was aim to investigate the effects of lipoic acid (ALA) on performance, meat quality, serum biochemistry and antioxidant function of broilers under heat stress (HS). Two hundred1-day-old Cobb broilers were randomly divided into four treatment groups and each treatment consisted of 4 replicates of 10 broilers each. The treatment group adopts a 2 × 2 two-factor setting, which is divided into two diets (basic diet or 250 mg/kg ALA diet) and two temperatures (24 ± 1℃ or 33 ± 1℃).

Human hair keratin, a natural protein derived from human hair, has emerged prominently in the field of wound repair, showcasing its unique regenerative capabilities and extensive application potential. However, it is a challenge for the keratin to efficiently therapy the impaired wound healing, such as combined radiation-wound injury. Here, we report a keratin/chitosan (KRT/CS) film for skin repair of chronic wounds in in rats with combined radiation-wound injury.
