Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one common cancer in the world. Previous studies have shown that miR-17 family members are elevated in most tumors and promote tumor progression. However, there is no comprehensive analysis of the expression and functional mechanism of the microRNA-17 (miR-17) family in HCC. The aim of this study is to comprehensively analyze the function of the miR-17 family in HCC and the molecular mechanism of its role. Bioinfoimatics analysis of the miR-17 family expression profile and its relationship to clinical significance using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and this result was confirmed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. miR-17 family members were tested for functional effects through transfection of miRNA precursors and inhibitors, and monitoring cell viability and migration by cell count and wound healing assays. In addition, we using dual-luciferase assay and Western blot demonstrated the targeting relationship between the miRNA-17 family and RUNX3. These members of miR-17 family were highly expressed in HCC tissues, and the overexpression of the miR-17 family promoted the proliferation and migration of SMMC-7721 cells, whereas treatment with anti-miR17 inhibitors caused the opposite effects. Notably, we also found that inhibitors anti-each member of miR-17 can suppress the expression of the entire family member. In addition, they can bind to the 3' untranslated region of RUNX3 to regulate its expression at the translational level. Our results proved that miR-17 family has oncogenic characteristics, overexpression every member of the family contributed to HCC cell proliferation and migration by reducing the translation of RUNX3.

MicroRNAs (miRNA,miRs) are small noncoding RNAs that are ubiquitously expressed in all mammalian cells. Their primary function is the regulation of nascent RNA transcripts by direct binding to regions on the target. There is now exciting data to suggest that these miRNAs can bind to other miRNAs, and this may have a broader impact on gene regulation in disease states.

Chronic venous leg ulcers (CVLUs) comprise the majority of lower-extremity wounds, yet their pathophysiology is not fully understood. While research has shown that microRNAs are an important component of wound inflammation, few have explored the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the healing of CVLUs. This scoping review examines miRNAs in CVLUs and the association with wound healing.

Article Synopsis
- Flubendiamide (FBD) is a new insecticide that poses potential risks to human health, particularly affecting prostate epithelial cells by inducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and altering microRNA expression related to cancer.
- The research focused on how FBD exposure affects cell cycle progression and apoptosis in these cells, noting specific changes in microRNA levels and cell cycle checkpoints.
- Selenium nanoparticles (T-SeNPs), produced by the fungus Trichoderma aureoviride, showed promise in reducing the harmful effects of FBD, highlighting their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and suggesting a potential treatment approach to mitigate FBD toxicity.

Doxorubicin (DOX), as a first-line anticancer drug, is widely used in the treatment of various cancers. However, its clinical application is restricted due to its severe cardiac toxicity. Previous studies have indicated exercise training can alleviate the DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.
