Background: The restoration of the functional ability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) using epigenetic modification is very promising for patients with weak osteogenesis ability. This study focused on the acceleration of osteogenesis from MSCs using microRNA (miRNA)2861 and a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP), LK.
Methods: We performed MSCs penetration test of complex between the LK peptides and miRNA 2861. Three different experiments were performed to investigate the effects of miRNA 2861 on osteogenic differentiation in MSCs: 1) intensity of alizarin red staining, which reflects the status of mineralization by osteoblasts; 2) gene expression related to osteoblast differentiation; and 3) confirmation of corresponding protein translation for comparison with RNA expression levels.
Results: We found that cLK effectively delivered miRNA 2861 into the cytoplasm of human MSCs and accelerated osteogenic differentiation from MSCs, as well as mineralization.
Conclusion: The complex of miRNA 2861 with LK may have a positive effect on the osteogenic differentiation from MSCs and mineralization. Therapies using miRNAs combined with LK may be good candidates for the augmentation of osteogenesis in patients.

Background: The study aimed to was to investigate the relationship between miR-2861, miR-5011-5p, and colorectal carcinogenesis.
Method: In the present study, it was isolated RNA from both the tumor and non-tumor tissue of a total of 80 CRC patients and after synthesizing the cDNA, it was performed qRT-PCR to determine the expression levels of miR‑2861 and miR‑5011-5p. In addition, it was predicted that dysregulated miRNAs targets, pathways and functional gene annotations that may be important in colorectal carcinogenesis using KEGG pathway and GO analysis.

We investigated the regulation of histone deacetylases (HDACs) by miR-2861 in the osteoblastic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and miR-2861 binding site by CRISPR activation (CRISPRa). Transfection of miR-2861 into human MSCs was performed and the effect on osteoblast differentiation was analyzed. Using catalytically inactive Cas12a, the CRISPRa system induced targeted overexpression of endogenous miRNA and repressed the luciferase activities of reporters that contained functional miRNA target sites.

Objectives: Although anti-VEGF and retinal laser photocoagulation are two therapeutic modalities that have been used in the clinical treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR), it is unknown how these modalities target vascular endothelial function in DR.
Methods: We first downloaded and analyzed the differential genes in two DR-related datasets, GSE60436 and GSE53257. The differential gene expression was then verified using RT-qPCR, and the most upregulated gene, NDUFB7, was selected for subsequent experiments.

Background: Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is one of the most lethal tumors among skin cancers and its incidence is rising worldwide. Recent data support the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in melanoma carcinogenesis and their potential use as disease biomarkers.
Methods: We quantified the expression of miR-146a-5p and miR-21-5p in 170 formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples of CM, namely 116 superficial spreading melanoma (SSM), 26 nodular melanoma (NM), and 28 lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM).

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive motor neuron disease characterised by the deposition of aggregated proteins including TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in vulnerable motor neurons and the brain. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) facilitate the spread of neurodegenerative diseases and can be easily accessed in the bloodstream. This study aimed to identify a panel of EV miRNAs that can capture the pathology occurring in the brain and peripheral circulation.
