Purpose: This study aimed to explore the expression changes of microRNA (miR)-140-5p and miR-370 in nephroblastoma and its effect on the proliferative ability of nephroblastoma WT_CLS1 and SK-NEP-1 cells.
Methods: The expression levels of miR-140-5p and miR-370 was detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in cancer tissues and normal adjacent tissues which were collected from 60 patients with nephroblastoma. Expression vectors of miR-140-5p and miR-370 were constructed, and transient transfection of human nephroblastoma cell lines WT_CLS1 and SK-NEP-1 was carried out in vitro. There were three groups of the two genes: Blank cell group (blank group); Gene transfection group (miR-490-5p group, miR-370 group); and No-load transfection group (NLTF group). The proliferative ability of WT_CLS1 and SK-NEP-1 cells was detected by MTT assay.
Results: The results of miR-140-5p and miR-370 detected by qRT-PCR showed that in cancer tissues the expression level of miR-140-5p was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues, and the level of miR-370 was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). The proliferation of WT_CLS1 and SK-NEP-1 cells in miR-140-5p group was significantly lower than that in NLTF group (p<0.05), while the proliferation of WT_CLS1 and SK-NEP-1 cells in miR-370 group was significantly higher than that in NLTF group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: miR-140-5p is lowly expressed and miR-370 is highly expressed in nephroblastoma tissues; miR-370 can promote the proliferation of WT-CLS1 cells in nephroblastoma, and miR-140-5p can inhibit their proliferation and it may become a new target for the treatment of nephroblastoma in the future.

MicroRNA Dysregulation in the Hippocampus of Rats with Noise-Induced Hearing Loss.

Although hippocampal changes due to noise-induced hearing loss have been suggested, little is known about the miRNA levels due to these hippocampal changes. Three-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into noise and control groups ( = 20 per group). The noise group rats were exposed to white Gaussian noise (115 dB SPL, 4 hours per day) for three days.

Obtained from the right cell-type, mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) promote stroke recovery. Within this process, microvascular remodeling plays a central role. Herein, we evaluated the effects of MSC-sEVs on the proliferation, migration, and tube formation of human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (hCMEC/D3) in vitro and on post-ischemic angiogenesis, brain remodeling and neurological recovery after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in mice.

Tuberculosis (TB) has been the leading lethal infectious disease worldwide since 2014, and about one third of the world's population has a latent TB infection (LTBI). This is largely attributed to the difficulties in diagnosis and treatment of TB and LTBI patients. Exosomes offer a new perspective on investigation of the process of TB infection.
