Accepted as crucial participators in human diseases, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to play important roles in cancer progression, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The purpose of this study is to preliminarily elucidate the role of miR-369-3p in HCC. Here, miR-369-3p and PAX6 expressions were detected by RT-qPCR. The functional mechanism of miR-369-3p/PAX6 axis was investigated by MTT, Transwell and luciferase reporter assays. The results showed that miR- 369-3p was downregulated in HCC and was associated with lymph node metastasis and TNM stage in HCC patients. Functionally, miR-369-3p overexpression inhibited cell viability and motility in HCC. Furthermore, PAX6 was confirmed as a direct target of miR-369-3p, and upregulation of PAX6 exerts carcinogenesis in the development of HCC. PAX6 can weaken the inhibitory effect of miR-369-3p in HCC. In conclusion, miR-369-3p inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells by suppressing PAX6 expression.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of miR-369-3p via PDE4B in Intestinal Inflammatory Response.
Int J Mol Sci

National Institute of Gastroenterology S. De Bellis, IRCCS Research Hospital, Via Turi 27, 70013 Castellana Grotte, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- - Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs), particularly PDE4, are important enzymes in inflammation, and inhibiting them can lessen inflammatory responses linked to diseases like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- - The study highlights that the microRNA miR-369-3p can reduce the expression of PDE4B, a common form found in immune cells, which helps to raise cAMP levels and enhance anti-inflammatory signaling pathways.
- - Results show that PDE4B levels are higher in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) than in healthy individuals, indicating its role in inflammation and establishing miR-369-3p as a potential therapeutic target for managing IBD.
Protective effect and regulatory mechanism of salidroside on skin inflammation induced by imiquimod in psoriasis mice.

Salidroside (SAL) is a glucoside of tyrosol commonly existing in the roots of Rhodiola rosea. This study unveils the protective effect of SAL on skin inflammation in imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis. The mouse model of psoriasis was established by local application of IMQ, and SAL efficacy was evaluated through PASI scoring, H&E staining, and skin tissue pathology observation.

Article Synopsis
- Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) show potential for treating cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, but current clinical outcomes need improvement.
- This study explores how preconditioning BMSCs with recombinant human growth differentiation factor 7 (rhGDF7) can enhance their effectiveness against cerebral I/R injuries.
- Results indicate that rhGDF7-preconditioned BMSCs reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and neural damage by boosting exosomal microRNA-369-3p levels, which helps activate protective pathways in neurons during I/R injury.
The role of miR-369-3p in proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes in Aohan fine-wool sheep.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a large class of non-coding RNAs that play important roles in the proliferation and differentiation of adipocytes. Our previous sequencing analysis revealed higher expression of miR-369-3p in the longissimus muscle of 2-month-old Aohan fine-wool sheep (AFWS) compared to 12-month-old sheep (), suggesting that miR-369-3p may regulate fat deposition in AFWS. To test this, miR-369-3p mimics, inhibitors, and negative controls (NCs) were constructed and transfected into AFWS preadipocytes.
