A lot of research investigations, conducted in the recent years, establishes that microRNAs (miRNAs) have an important role in keeping both growth and metastasis of Ovarian Epithelial Carcinoma (OEC) under control. However, the clinical and functional role of miR-130a-3p in OEC is yet to be explored. Through quantitative reaction i.e., qRT-PCR, the expression of miR-130a-3p was assessed in tissues and cell lines of OEC patients. This analysis determined the relationship between the expression of miR-130a-3p and its clinicopathology with the overall survival rate of OEC patients. The author made use of cell counting analysis (CCK8) and in vitro flow cytometry to understand the functional and biological impact of miR-130a-3p expression. In comparison with neighboring normal tissues, the expression of miR-130a-3p was found to be lower in 7 OEC samples. Few reasons are cited for this scenario i.e., low expression of miR-130a-3p, such as low overall OEC patient survival rate, incidence of FIGO and metastasis of lymph nodes. miR-130a-3p has been found as an independent candidate for predicting the prognosis of OEC patients, as per Multivariate Cox research. When miR-130a-3p is over-expressed, as per the enhanced mechanism, it prevents both cell proliferation and cell cycle production in OEC. The current study findings emphasize that miR-130a-3p can be leveraged as a biomarker of prognosis and possibly as a target in the treatment of OEC.

Background: Prolactinoma is the leading type of pituitary adenoma. Aside from the mass-like effect of prolactinoma, its hormonal effect is the main pathological cause of endocrine dysregulation and infertility. The dopamine agonist administration and surgical resection are the current mainstream anti-neoplastic treatments for affected patients; however, tumor fibrosis, tumor invasion, dopamine agonist resistance, and gain prolactinomas are clinical challenges for treating affected patients.

The role of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is dual, such that, it inhibits tumor development in initial stage and promotes metastasis in later stage. The present study is aimed to analyse the relevance of different types of TGF-β and their receptors on the overall survival (OS) and TGF-β driven gene expression in individuals with cervical cancer (CC) using ONCODB and GEPIA databases. The in-silico gene expression analysis showed, TGF-β1 and TGFβR2 are upregulated in cells infected with human papilloma virus (HPV)16, whereas, TGF-β2, TGFβR1 and TGFβR3 expression were downregulated.

Molecules in immune cells plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke (IS). The aim of this study is to profile the landscape of molecules on the basis of immune cells in IS peripheral blood and construct an immunoregulatory competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. We collected and combined multiple public transcriptome datasets from the peripheral blood of IS patients and healthy controls.

Heroin addiction is one of the neuropsychiatric burdens that affects many genetic and epigenetic systems. While it is known that heroin may change the expressions of some genes in the brain during dependence, there is no detailed study related to which gene are mostly affected. Therefore, in the current study, we aimed to determine alterations in the miRNA profiles of rats' brains for providing a detailed analysis of molecular mechanisms in heroin addiction-related toxicology.

Aims/introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes that can lead to poor vision and blindness. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of action of miR-130a-3p in DR progression.
Materials And Methods: In this study, we administered a single intraperitoneal injection of 100 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) to construct a DR mouse model, and induced a human monocyte cell line (THP-1) to differentiate into M0 macrophages, after which the M0 macrophages were cultured with 30 mM high glucose (HG) as a model of inflammation.
