Leiocassis longirostris is a commercially important fish species that shows a sexually dimorphic growth pattern. A lack of molecular data from the gonads of this species has hindered research and selective breeding efforts. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the expression profile of miRNA and mRNA to explore their regulatory roles in the gonadal maturation stage of L. longirostris. We identified 60 differentially expressed miRNAs and 20,752 differentially expressed genes by sequencing. A total of 90 miRNAs and 21 target genes involved in gonad development and sex determination were identified. Overall, the results of this study enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying sex determination and differentiation and provide valuable genomic information for the selective breeding of L. longirostris.

Objective: To explore more and better liquid biopsy markers of exosomal microRNAs (exo-miRNAs) in renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) and to preliminary investigate the biological functions and signaling pathways involved in these markers.
Materials And Methods: High-throughput miRNA sequencing was performed on blood and urine exo-miRNAs from three RIF patients and three healthy volunteers, and differential expression analysis and bioinformatic processing were performed.
Results: There were 13 differentially expressed exo-miRNA (DEexo-miRNA) between RIF and healthy blood, and 20 DEexo-miRNAs in urine.

Background: In various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementia, there is a notable reduction in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neurons, which represent the most abundant inhibitory neurons in the human brain. This study explores molecular association between miR-502-3p and the function of GABAergic neurons in AD.
Method: The investigation commenced by examining the status of GABA receptor proteins and miR-502-3p in postmortem AD brains.

High apolipoprotein B-containing (apoB-containing) low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and low apoA1-containing high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. In search of a molecular regulator that could simultaneously and reciprocally control both LDL and HDL levels, we screened a microRNA (miR) library using human hepatoma Huh-7 cells. We identified miR-541-3p that both significantly decreases apoB and increases apoA1 expression by inducing mRNA degradation of 2 different transcription factors, Znf101 and Casz1.

Platinum resistance is a common cause of chemotherapy failure in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs), which function by competitively binding to miRNAs, can influence drug response. However, the regulatory mechanisms of ceRNAs underlying chemoresistance in LUAD remain largely unknown.
