lncRNA can serve as a miRNA sponge and block the function of miRNA. High expression of lncRNA SNHG16 (small nucleolar RNAhostgene16) was discovered in gastric cancer (GC) and many other tumors. However, the mechanism of SNHG16 in GC is still unclear. In this research, we detected the expression level of SNHG16 in GC tissues and cell lines by qRT-PCR and FISH assay. RIP and Dual Luciferase Reporter Assay revealed that miR-135a is a target of SNHG16. SNHG16 gene knockdown experiment indicated that the expression level of SNHG16 can influence GC cells proliferation, colony formation, invasion ability and apoptosis in a miR-135a dependent manner. Western Blot assay showed that knockdown of SNHG16 decreased the expression of JAK2 and p-STAT3 in GC cells while miR-135a can offset the facilitated impact. Then the expression level of SNHG16 and miR-135a in the si-STAT3 GC cells was detected by qRT-PCR and the results showed that SNHG16 may be a target gene of p-STAT3. Collectively, it was suggested that SNHG16 can serve as a miR-135a sponge and block the function of miR-135a in JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Background: Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), a calcium-permeable non-selective cation channel, has been implicated in various cancers, including COAD. This study investigates the role of TRPV4 in colon adenocarcinoma and elucidates its potential mechanism via the ferroptosis pathway.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The gut microbiota, along with adenomatous polyps (AP), has emerged as a plausible contributor to CRC progression. This study aimed to scrutinize the impact of the FadA antigen derived from Fusobacterium nucleatum on the expression levels of the ANXA2 ceRNA network and assess its relevance to CRC advancement.

Introduction/objectives: Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic inflammatory and difficult-to-treat autoimmune disease. Timosaponin AIII (TAIII), a plant-derived steroidal saponin, effectively inhibits cell proliferation, induces apoptosis, and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. This study explored the mechanisms of action of TAIII in SS treatment by studying gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) using fecal metabolomics.

Emerging evidence highlights the significance of peripheral inflammation in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and suggests the gut as a viable therapeutic target. This study aimed to explore the neuroprotective effects of the probiotic formulation VSL#3 and its underlying mechanism in a PD mouse model induced by MPTP. Following MPTP administration, the striatal levels of dopamine and its metabolites, as along with the survival rate of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, were significantly reduced in PD mice.
