Background: This study aims to investigate the regulatory effect of microRNA-96-5p (miR-96-5p) in the pathophysiological process of allergic rhinitis (AR).
Methods: Nasal mucosal tissue samples were collected from AR patients and healthy controls. An in vitro AR model was established by stimulating human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs) with interleukin (IL)-13. The expressions of target genes and proteins were measured by qPCR, Western blot, or ELISA. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and pull-down assay were performed to confirm the interaction between miR-96-5p and DEP domain-containing mammalian target of rapamycin-interacting protein (DEPTOR).
Results: The level of miR-96-5p was increased while the expression of DEPTOR was decreased in AR patients. The expressions of proinflammatory cytokines were markedly increased and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/NF-κB pathway was activated in HNECs following IL-13 stimulation. miR-96-5p downregulation alleviated the stimulated function by IL-13. DEPTOR was the target of miR-96-5p. Knockdown of DEPTOR reversed the function of miR-96-5p inhibitor on IL-13-stimulated HNECs.
Conclusions: The current study showed that miR-96-5p and DEPTOR were aberrantly expressed in AR nasal mucosa. miR-96-5p knockdown inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines and the activation of mTOR/NF-κB pathway via targeting DEPTOR. These findings suggested that miR-96-5p might be used as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for the treatment of AR.

Comprehensive Analysis of circRNA-Related mRNAs as Prognostic Factors in Non-Smoking Women with Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Background: Non-smoking women with lung adenocarcinoma(NSWLA) is a significant health problem globally; the carcinogenesis and prognostic signature remain poorly understood. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are gradually implicated in cancer formation through sponging miRNAs to regulate mRNAs.
Methods: Tumor and paracancerous specimens from non-smoking women after lung adenocarcinoma surgery were collected for high-throughput sequencing of circRNA.

With prolonged ethanol ingestion, disturbances in the emotional spectrum develop, and memory problems are noted. These symptoms could be mediated by the development of neurochemical changes in the hippocampus of the brain. Although there is evidence that hippocampus is vulnerable to chronic alcohol intoxication and that neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration develop in this brain region, the key molecular mechanisms have not been identified.

Article Synopsis
- Previous research established circRNAs as key players in the progression of cancer stem cells (CSCs), particularly their role in tumor development, prompting this study to explore circ_0000972's influence on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) CSCs.
- The study utilized techniques like RT-qPCR and xenograft models to analyze the expression of circ_0000972, miR-96-5p, and PFN1, finding that circ_0000972 overexpression led to reduced tumor cell characteristics and sizes by affecting EMT processes.
- The mechanisms revealed that circ_0000972 functions as a sponge for miR-96-5p, which in turn boosts PFN1 expression, highlighting its

Wooden breast (WB) myopathy has raised a worldwide concern among broiler industry during the past decade. Despite progress in understanding its etiology from transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional mechanisms including the regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) remain largely unknown. In the current study, we described an integrative analysis between mRNA and miRNA expression profiles of pectoralis major muscle from normal and WB myopathic broilers.

Article Synopsis
- * Long non-coding RNAs, particularly TP53TG1, are linked to abnormal metabolism in gliomas, with TP53TG1 being associated with poor patient outcomes and its suppression leading to reduced tumor cell growth and aggression.
- * The study identifies a mechanism where TP53TG1 regulates glioma progression by interacting with miR-96-5p and the protein STK17B, suggesting that targeting methionine levels could be an effective treatment strategy for gliomas.
