Background: MiRNA is a small molecule RNA that plays an important role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes., and miR-34c-3p has been demonstrated to be closely related to the occurrence of tumors. Ferroptosis is a new form of cell death characterized by lipid-based reactive oxygen species accumulation. However, it is still unclear how miR-34c-3p influences the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) by regulating ferroptosis. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to explore the role and mechanism of miR-34c-3p in OSCC.
Materials And Methods: The expression of miR-34c-3p in OSCC and matched normal tissues was detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Subsequently, the effect of miR-34c-3p overexpression on cell proliferation and ferroptosis was evaluated using CCK8, colony formation assays, Live/Dead staining, Western blotting analysis, ROS, MDA, and GSH assay.
Results: The results showed lower expression of miR-34c-3p in OSSC compared with normal tissues. Overexpression of miR-34c-3p in SCC-25 cells suppressed cell proliferation. In addition, the overexpression of miR-34c-3p promoted ferroptosis by increasing ROS, MDA, and iron and decreasing GSH and GPX4 levels in SCC-25 cells.
Conclusion: Our findings revealed a novel strategy to upregulate erastin-induced ferroptosis in OSCC through the miR-34c-3p/SLC7A11 axis, suggesting new insights into OSCC and a potentially useful therapeutic strategy for OSCC.

ADHD has huge knowledge gaps concerning its etiology. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) provide promising diagnostic biomarkers of human pathophysiology and may be a novel therapeutic option. The aim was to investigate the levels of miR-34c-3p, miR-155, miR-138-1, miR-296-5p, and plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in a group of children with ADHD compared to neurotypicals and to explore correlations between these measures and some clinical data.

Recently, miRNAs have been regarded as potential candidates for mediating therapeutic functions by targeting genes related to drug response. In this study, we suggested that plasma miRNAs may be correlated with response to trastuzumab in HER2-positive breast cancer patients. To determine whether miR-195, miR-23b-3p, miR-1246, and miR-34c-3p are involved in trastuzumab resistance, we screened their expressions in the BT-474 cell line, which was followed by plasma analysis from 20 trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive breast cancer patients and 20 nonresistance subjects.
