Background/aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC), is characterized by aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression during their development and progression. Recently, miR-509-5p's role as a regulator of several malignancies has been highlighted. Its function in CRC, however, is exposed. This research aimed to determine the relative abundance of miR-509-5p and its biological function in colorectal cancer.
Methods: The expression of miR-509-5p in CRC cell lines and tissues, as well as neighboring normal tissues, was evaluated using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)- 2,5-diphenyl-2 H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) was used to assess cell viability. The association between miR-509-5p and its predicted target in CRC cells was analyzed using bioinformatics tools. The levels of Solute carrier family seven number 11 (SLC7A11) were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), while malondialdehyde (MDA) and iron content levels were determined colorimetrically.
Results: Compared to adjacent normal tissue and normal colorectal cell, there was a significant reduction in miR-509-5p expression in both CRC tissues and cells. miR-509-5p upregulation inhibited Caco-2 cell viability. SLC7A11 was predicted to be the cellular target of miR-509-5p. Interestingly, miR-509-5p's overexpression suppressed both mRNA and protein levels of SLC7A11, whereas its downregulation boosted SLC7A11 gene expression. Finally, overexpressing miR-509-5p resulted in increased MDA and iron levels.
Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that miR-509-5p has CRC tumor suppressor functions through controlling the expression of SLC7A11 and promotion of ferroptosis providing a new therapeutic target for the treatment of CRC.

Background: Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) functions as a transcription factor and is consistently overexpressed in various cancers, including non-small-cell lung-, breast-, cervical-, and colorectal cancer. Its overexpression is associated with poor prognosis in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, although the detailed mechanisms by which FOXM1 promotes the development of non-small-cell lung cancer remain unclear.
Objective: The mechanism of FOXM1 in migration, invasion, apoptosis, and viability of lung cancer cells was investigated.

Chemotherapy resistance is a major limiting factor in the cure of patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Lymphocyte antigen 6 superfamily member D (Ly6D) is highly expressed in various tumors, but its role and underlying molecular mechanisms in chemoresistance of LSCC cells remains largely unclear. In this study, we reveal that overexpression of Ly6D facilitates LSCC cell chemoresistance, while Ly6D silencing abolishes this phenotype.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are secreted by various tissues and cells under normal physiological or pathological conditions. Exercise-induced EVs may be involved in the adaptation of exercise-induced fatigue. The 1500-m freestyle is the longest pool-based swimming event in the Olympic Games, and there is a paucity of information regarding changes in the miRNA profiles of circulating EVs after a single session of fatiguing swimming.
