Aim: Exosomes has been shown to be involved in the regulation of cancer progression. However, the role of exosome miR-134-5p in breast cancer (BC) progression is unclear.
Methods: Exosomes were extracted from BC cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) using differential centrifugation and were observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). The protein levels of exosome markers, apoptosis markers, Rho GTPase activating protein 1 (ARHGAP1, an important oncogene in BC) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) markers were detected by western blot (WB) assay. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the expression levels of miR-134-5p and ARHGAP1. Cell cycle and apoptosis, colony number, viability, migration, and invasion were determined by flow cytometry, colony formation assay, MTT assay, and transwell assay, respectively. The interaction between miR-134-5p and ARHGAP1 was confirmed using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Xenograft models were constructed to verify the role of exosome miR-134-5p in BC tumor growth in vivo.
Results: MiR-134-5p was lowly expressed in BC cells and in the exosomes of BC cells. Overexpressed exosome miR-134-5p suppressed the proliferation, migration, invasion, and promoted the apoptosis of BC cells. ARHGAP1 was a target of miR-134-5p, and its silencing could inhibit BC progression. In addition, ARHGAP1 overexpression could reverse the negative regulation of miR-134-5p on BC progression. MiR-134-5p could target ARHGAP1 to inhibit the activity of PI3K/AKT pathway. Exosome miR-134-5p overexpression could suppress BC tumor growth via targeting ARHGAP1 in vivo.
Conclusion: Exosome miR-134-5p restrained BC progression through regulating ARHGAP1/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, suggesting that miR-134-5p might be a therapeutic target for BC.

The aim of present study was to evaluate the impact of perimenopause on insulin resistance. Specifically, insulin sensitivity was assessed in a perimenopausal mouse model treated with 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD), together with the changes in exosomal miRNA and hepatic mRNA expression profiles. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was utilized to assess the status of insulin resistance, and insulin action was evaluated during menopausal transition.

Background: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is defined as a reduction in ovarian reserve and oocyte quality. The pathophysiology of DOR has not been completely explained as of yet. Scholars have uncovered a large number of exosomes that have been detected in follicular fluid, and exosomal miRNAs have been proven to play a critical role in controlling ovarian disorders and follicle formation.

Background: Staging of melanoma and follow up after melanoma diagnosis aims at predicting risk and detecting progression or recurrence at early stage, respectively in order to timely start and/or change treatment. Tumor thickness according to Breslow, status of the sentinel node and value of the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are well-established prognostic markers for metastatic risk, but reliable biomarkers identifying early recurrence or candidates who may benefit best from medical treatment are still warranted. Liquid biopsy has emerged to be a suitable method for identifying biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis, prognosis, therapeutic response prediction, and patient follow-up.

Oxidative stress-induced damage to and dysfunction of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells are important pathogenetic factors of age-related macular degeneration (AMD); however, the underlying molecular mechanism is not fully understood. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have important roles in various biological processes. In this study, using an oxidative damage model in RPE cells, we identified a novel oxidation-related lncRNA named CYLD-AS1.
