Aim: The main goal of this investigation was to provide an overview on effect on gastric tissue via bioinformatics analysis of microarray-identified miRNAs and its target genes.
Background: MicroRNAs which control about 30 to 60% of gene expression in human body play a critical role in different cell growth stages. Expression modification of non-coding (NC) RNAs in H.pylori infections requires further investigations to provide better understanding of their roles in the body.
Methods: GSE54397, the microRNA microarray dataset, was analyzed by GEO2R, the online GEO database for detection of differentially expressed microRNAs and lastly the potential target genes as well as their associated pathways.
Results: A total of 244 miRNAs were detected as differentially expressed (p<0.05 and FC>2) in non-cancerous tissue of gastric with H.pylori infection in comparison with tissues without H.pylori infection. The findings indicated that hub microRNAs and target genes of up-regulated network are KIF9, DCTN3, and CA5BP1 along with hsa-miR-519d, hsa-miR-573, hsa-miR-646, hsa-miR-92a-1, hsa-miR-186, and hsa-miR-892a, respectively. For the down-regulated network, genes of RABGAP1, HSPB11 and microRNAs of hsa-miR-620, hsa-miR-19b-2, hsa-miR-555, and hsa-let-7f-2 were hubs. Most of the up-regulated microRNAs are involved in gastric cancer development while there is no evidence for the down-regulated ones. Yet, all of the hub down-regulated miRNAs are reported to have associations with different kinds of cancer.
Conclusion: The introduced hub miRNAs and genes may serve as feasible markers in the mechanisms of infection for different kinds of gastric diseases, in particular gastric cancer. However, their role requires further investigations.

Exogenous genes are inserted into target cells during gene therapy in order to compensate or rectify disorders brought on by faulty or aberrant genes. However, gene therapy is still in its early stages because of its unsatisfactory therapeutic effects which are mainly due to low transfection efficiency of vectors, high toxicity, and poor target specificity. A natural polymer with numerous bioactive sites, good mechanical qualities, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and processability called silk fibroin has gained attention as a possible gene therapy vector.

The mechanisms underlying antigen receptor germline gene diversification have always been a topic of intensive study. Here, we discovered that the frequency of stem-loop sequences in the antigen receptor germline gene region is remarkably higher than the genomic background. By analyzing these stem-loop sequences' similarity and distribution patterns, we found that clustered regularly interspaced homologous stem-loop pairs (CRIHSP) are widely present on the germline genes of antigen receptors in different species.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of lymphoma in adults, which characterized by a high degree of heterogeneity in terms of clinical presentation, molecular phenotype, and genetic features. However, approximately 30 %-40 % of patients are refractory to standard chemotherapy, and their prognosis is poor. The emergence of small-molecule inhibitors, such as Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi), has greatly improved the treatment of DLBCL; however, drug resistance associated with small-molecule inhibitors has greatly limited their clinical application.

Baculovirus causes lethal nuclear polyhedrosis in insects, whereas its regulatory mechanism on host transcription has not been fully illustrated. Herein, Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) infection caused dephosphorylation and thus cytoplasmic-nucleo translocation of transcription factor EB (BmTFEB) by inhibiting Mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (MTORC1), while upregulating Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling to promote self-proliferation through the rival protein kinase 1 in Bombyx mori.
