Objective: To examine the expression level of microRNA-485-5p (miRNA-485-5p) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its biological function in regulating the proliferative ability of AML through targeting SALL4.
Patients And Methods: Serum level of miRNA-485-5p in AML patients and healthy controls was determined by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). MiRNA-485-5p level in AML cell lines was detected by qRT-PCR as well. Proliferative and apoptotic changes in AML5 and U937 cells overexpressing miRNA-485-5p were assessed. Subsequently, the regulatory effect of miRNA-485-5p on SALL4 level was evaluated. Rescue experiments were conducted to uncover the role of miRNA-485-5p/SALL4 regulatory loop in regulating cellular behaviors of AML.
Results: Compared with healthy controls, serum level of miRNA-485-5p was lower in AML patients. MiRNA-485-5p was similarly downregulated in AML cell lines. Overexpression of miRNA-485-5p stimulated proliferation and alleviated apoptosis in AML. SALL4 level was downregulated by transfection of miRNA-485-5p mimics in AML5 and U937 cells. Overexpression of SALL4 could reverse the regulatory effect of miRNA-485-5p on proliferative and apoptotic abilities of AML.
Conclusions: MiRNA-485-5p is downregulated in AML. Overexpression of miRNA-485-5p alleviates the malignant progression of AML through downregulating SALL4.

It is crucial to probe into the biological effect and mechanism of miRNA-485-5p regulating keratin 17 (KRT17) in pancreatic cancer (PC) to understand its pathogenesis and identify potential biological targets. The bioinformatics means were used to evaluate the clinical significance of KRT17 expression in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. TargetScan database analysis in conjunction with dual luciferase and RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP) experiments was used to probe the interaction relationship of miRNA-485-5p with KRT17.

Article Synopsis
- Drug resistance in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a major challenge, with cancer stem cells (CSCs) playing a critical role in recurrence and metastasis, making the understanding and targeting of CSCs essential for improving treatment outcomes.
- In the study, various molecular techniques were employed to specifically target keratin 17 (KRT17) in OSCC cells, which were assessed for their growth, stemness, and invasive characteristics through functional assays and a mouse tumor model.
- Results showed that high KRT17 expression is linked to increased invasiveness and poor survival in OSCC, while knocking down KRT17 reduced stemness traits and led to the identification of a novel signaling pathway that promotes cancer cell progression.

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is characterized by brain dysfunction during sepsis, without central nervous system infection. Here, we explored the molecular basis of brain injury in preterm infants with SAE. From Jan 2016 to Dec 2019, a total of 20 preterm infants were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of our hospital, including 10 preterm infants with SAE (SAE group) and 10 preterm infants without encephalopathy after sepsis (no SAE group).

Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is the most common cancer in women worldwide, yet little is known about the underlying molecular basis of EC development. LINC01224, a novel long non‑coding (lnc)RNA, was recently identified as an oncogene in various types of cancer. However, the function and underlying mechanism of LINC01224 in EC is still unclear.

Esophageal cancer is the eighth most prevalent malignancy in the world and China has a high incidence of esophageal cancer. Previous studies have identified that LINC00488 is an oncogene; however, its role in esophageal cancer remains unclear. The present study detected the expression and biological functions of LINC00488 in the progression of esophageal cancer.
