Objective: Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor consisting of mesenchymal cells. This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effects of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (hBMSC)-derived miR-1913 on osteosarcoma.

Methods: Cell viability was determined using CCK8 and colony formation assays. The cell migration and invasion abilities were assessed using wound healing and transwell assays. RT-qPCR and western blot were used to measure the miR-1913, Neurensin-2 (NRSN2), N-cadherin, and E-cadherin expression levels. Dual luciferase reporter assays were conducted to identify the target relationship between miR-1913 and NRSN2. The exosomes were extracted and identified using TEM and NTA assays.

Results: In the osteosarcoma tumor tissues and cell lines, the NRSN2 expressions were up-regulated, which correlated with a poor osteosarcoma prognosis. MiR-1913 inhibited the cell viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion by negatively targeting NRSN2. Furthermore, the hBMSC-derived exosomes delivered miR-1913 to inhibit the NRSN2 expression in the osteosarcoma cells.

Conclusion: The inhibitory role of hBMSC-derived miR-1913 on osteosarcoma progression was achieved by targeting NRSN2, indicating the potential therapeutic value of hBMSC-derived miR-1913.

Article Synopsis
  • Neurensin-2 (NRSN2) plays a role in making certain cancers worse, but its effect on laryngeal cancer caused by HPV is not well understood.
  • Researchers studied how NRSN2 affects HPV-infected laryngeal cancer cells by looking at their growth and behavior when NRSN2 levels were changed.
  • They found that when NRSN2 was too high, it made the cancer cells grow and spread more, but lowering NRSN2 helped slow these harmful effects down through a specific pathway in the cells, suggesting NRSN2 could be a target for new treatments.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal malignancies with high mortality worldwide. Emerging evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in human cancers, including ESCC. However, the detailed mechanisms of lncRNAs in the regulation of ESCC progression remain incompletely understood.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study highlights the significant role of the long non-coding RNA NRSN2-AS1, which is found to be over-expressed in ovarian cancer tissues and is linked to the progression of the disease in women.
  • - NRSN2-AS1 promotes the growth and spread of ovarian cancer cells by stabilizing the protein PTK2 and activating the β-catenin signaling pathway while inhibiting its degradation by MG-53.
  • - The findings suggest that targeting the NRSN2-AS1/PTK2/β-catenin signaling axis could have potential clinical applications for treating ovarian cancer, marking a novel discovery in understanding the disease's mechanisms.
