MicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs that modulate the expression of several target genes. Fibroblast growth factor binding protein 1 (FGFBP1) has been associated with endothelial dysfunction at the level of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). However, the underlying mechanisms are mostly unknown and there are no studies investigating the relationship between miRs and FGFBP1. Thus, the overarching aim of the present study was to identify and validate which miR can specifically target FGFBP1 in human brain microvascular endothelial cells, which represent the best in vitro model of the BBB. We were able to identify and validate miR-4432 as a fundamental modulator of FGFBP1 and we demonstrated that miR-4432 significantly reduces mitochondrial oxidative stress, a well-established pathophysiological hallmark of hypertension.

Solute carrier family 25 member 1 (SLC25A1) affects lipid metabolism and energy regulation in multiple types of tumor cell, affecting their proliferation and survival. To the best of our knowledge, however, the impact of SLC25A1 on the proliferation and survival of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells has yet to be explored. Here, SLC25A1 expression was detected in ESCC tissues and cell lines.

Article Synopsis
- - Localized scleroderma (LS) is an autoimmune disease that causes skin inflammation and fibrosis, leading to symptoms like hardening and discoloration of the skin, which can result in disability.
- - This study utilized single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze skin cells from 27 LS patients and 17 healthy controls, focusing primarily on endothelial cells due to their known role in a related condition, systemic sclerosis (SSc).
- - The analysis identified eight subclusters of endothelial cells, with certain pathways upregulated in LS, suggesting these cells may contribute to disease progression and associated skin abnormalities.

The oviduct provides an optimal environment for the final preparation, transport, and survival of gametes, the fertilization process, and early embryonic development. Most of the studies on reproduction are based on in vitro cell culture models because of the cell's accessibility. It creates opportunities to explore the complexity of directly linked processes between cells.

Article Synopsis
- Heparin-binding protein 17 (HBp17), renamed fibroblast growth factor-binding protein 1 (FGFBP-1), is produced by epithelial cells and plays a vital role in binding fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), influencing their transport and functions.
- Research showed that introducing HBp17/FGFBP-1 in non-tumorigenic A431-4 cells increased their growth and allowed them to form tumors in mice, while knocking out the protein reduced tumor growth and cell movement.
- The study also found that the vitamin D analog 1α,25(OH)D (eldecalcitol) can inhibit HBp17/FGFBP-1 and tumor growth by targeting a specific
