Background: Patients with intestinal-type sinonasal adenocarcinoma (ITAC) have an unfavorable prognosis, and new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are needed to improve clinical management.
Methods: Next-generation sequencing-based miRNome analysis was performed on 43 ITAC patients who underwent surgical resection, and microRNA (miRNA) data were obtained from 35 cases. Four miRNAs were identified, and their expression levels were detected by reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and related to the relevant patient outcome. Overall survival and disease-free survival rates were evaluated through the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test, and multivariate analysis was performed by means of Cox proportional hazard analysis.
Results: High levels of miR-205 and miR-34c/miR-449 cluster expression were associated with an increased recurrence risk and, therefore, a worse prognosis. Multivariate analysis confirmed that miR-205 and miR-449 were significant prognostic predictors.
Conclusions: A high expression of miR-205 and miR-449 is independent predictors of poor survival for ITAC patients.

Background: Epigenetic phytochemicals are considered as an efficacious and safe alternative to synthetic drugs in drug discovery. In this regard, combinatorial interventions enable simultaneously targeting various neoplastic pathways to eradicate multiple tumorigenic clones. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of the epigenetic-modifying compounds phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) and withaferin A (WA) alone and in combination on cancer hallmarks and miRNome profiles of breast cancer (BC) cells in addition to their impact on multiple epigenetic regulatory pathways.

The differentiation/maturation trajectories of different blood cell types stemming from a CD34 common ancestor takes place in different biologically relevant multidimensional spaces. Here, we generated microRNA and cytokine profiles from highly purified populations of hematopoietic progenitors/precursors derived from cord blood hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. MicroRNA and cytokine landscapes were then analyzed to find their mutual relationships under the hypothesis that the highly variable miRNome corresponds to the 'force field' driving the goal of a stable phenotype (here corresponding to the cytokine abundance pattern) typical of each cell kind.

Dengue virus (DENV) infections are commonly reported in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. DENV is reported to exploit various strategies to cross the blood-brain barrier. The NS1 protein of DENV plays an important role in viral neuropathogenesis, resulting in endothelial hyperpermeability and cytokine-induced vascular leak.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most malignant gynecologic cancer, and chemoresistance is a major cause of treatment failure in patients with OC. The understanding of microRNA (miRNA) in cancer is limited, and the role of miRNA (miR)-450b-5p in cancer drug resistance is unknown. In this study, we aim to evaluate the role of miR-450b-5p in drug-resistant OC and its underlying mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
- Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) from the embryonic mesoderm are key for tissue repair and can trans-differentiate into non-mesodermal cell types like neurons, making them promising for treating neurological disorders.
- The study examined RNA expression changes in MSCs as they transitioned to a neural identity, highlighting increases in synapse maturation markers and neuron differentiation markers over the first 48 hours.
- Findings identified critical signaling pathway changes and microRNAs that drive this trans-differentiation process, while also revealing potential risks related to maintaining stemness and implications for neurofunctional abnormalities and tumor development.
