Melanoma is one of the most common malignant tumors that originate from nerve sheath melanocytes and are produced in the skin and other organs. This paper mainly studied the role of miR-582 in melanoma. The expression of miR-582 in melanoma cell lines and tissues was evaluated by real-time quantitative PCR. Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox proportional hazards model analysis were used to investigate the prognostic value of miR-582 in melanoma. Cell proliferation, invasion, and migration were analyzed using CCK-8 and transwell assays. The results showed that miR-582 was significantly decreased in melanoma cells and tissues. Downregulation of miR-582 was associated with ulceration, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, and poor overall survival. The functional results showed that low expression of miR-582 can promote cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. FOXC1 was a direct target of miR-582. Overall, the expression of miR-582 is downregulated in melanoma tissues and cell lines. Low expression of miR-582 is associated with prognosis and progression of melanoma by targeting FOXC1. miR-582 may be a prognostic biomarker and a new therapeutic strategy for melanoma.

Background/objectives: Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are common in young adult men and have high cure rates. Conventional serum tumor markers and imaging are not able to differentiate between histologic subtypes of the disease, which portend different prognoses and require distinct therapeutic strategies. Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding transcripts involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, which have emerged as promising biomarkers in a variety of tumors.

Extensive research has recently been conducted to investigate the regulating impact of exosomal circular RNAs (circRNAs) in throughout the development of multiple malignancies. Nevertheless, there is still much to learn about the biological roles and underlying mechanisms of exosomal circRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC). Exosomes (exo) were isolated from blood samples and CRC cells by differential centrifugation.

Air pollution is a hazardous contaminant, exposure to which has substantial consequences for health during critical periods, such as pregnancy. MicroRNA (miRNA) is an epigenetic mechanism that modulates transcriptome responses to the environment and has been found to change in reaction to air pollution exposure. The data are limited regarding extracellular-vesicle (EV) miRNA variation associated with air pollution exposure during pregnancy and in susceptible populations who may be disproportionately exposed.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive tract worldwide. Both environmental and genetic factors contribute to the occurrence and development of GC. Surgery and chemotherapy are the main treatment modalities for gastric cancer; however, some patients show insensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by uncontrolled clonal expansion and differentiation block of immature myeloid cells. Some studies have shown that leukemia stem cells (LSC) are thought to be responsible for the initiation and development of leukemia. Moreover, abnormal O-glycosylation is a key modification in the process of cancer malignancy.
