MicroRNAs are attractive therapeutic targets in many diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Among microRNA inhibitors antimiRs have been proven successful in lowering aberrant microRNA levels in the clinic. We present a set of antimiRs targeting miR-34a, which has been shown to be dysregulated in chronic lung diseases. The tool compounds were taken up by a bronchial epithelial cell line and primary human bronchial epithelial cells, followed by efficient knockdown of miR-34a. Similar results were observed in 3D differentiated primary human bronchial epithelial cells cultured at the air-liquid interface. Varying chemical properties of antimiRs had significant impact on cellular uptake and potency, resulting in effective tool compounds for use in lung-relevant cellular systems. This report demonstrates gymnotic antimiR uptake and activity in 3D epithelial cell culture after apical administration, mimicking inhalation conditions.

Bladder cancer (BLCA) genomic profiling has identified molecular subtypes with distinct clinical characteristics and variable sensitivities to frontline therapy. BLCAs can be categorized into luminal or basal subtypes based on their gene expression. We comprehensively characterized nine human BLCA cell lines (UC3, UC6, UC9, UC13, UC14, T24, SCaBER, RT4V6 and RT112) into molecular subtypes using orthotopic xenograft models.

Ovarian tissue cryopreservation addresses critical challenges in fertility preservation for prepubertal female cancer patients, such as the lack of viable eggs and hormonal deficiencies. However, mitigating follicle and granulosa cell damage during freeze-thaw cycles remains an urgent issue. Luteinizing hormone (LH), upon binding to luteinizing hormone receptors (LHR) on granulosa cells, enhances estrogen synthesis and secretion, contributing to the growth of granulosa cells and follicles.

Spatial profiling of tissues promises to elucidate tumor-microenvironment interactions and generate prognostic and predictive biomarkers. We analyzed single-cell, spatial data from three multiplex imaging technologies: cyclic immunofluorescence (CycIF) data we generated from 102 breast cancer patients with clinical follow-up, and publicly available imaging mass cytometry and multiplex ion-beam imaging datasets. Similar single-cell phenotyping results across imaging platforms enabled combined analysis of epithelial phenotypes to delineate prognostic subtypes among estrogen-receptor positive (ER+) patients.

Baicalein, one of the major active flavonoids found in Scutellaria baicalensis, has been revealed to exhibit potent anti-inflammatory properties in allergic airway inflammation. This study aimed to explore the role of baicalein and its relevant mechanism in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). The bioinformatics tools were used to predict the targets of baicalein and AR-related genes.

Narciclasine (Ncs) was effective in sepsis management due to its antioxidant properties. The present study dissected the protective effects of Ncs against sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) and the molecular mechanisms. The SA-AKI mice were developed using cecum ligation and puncture and pretreated with Ncs and adenoviruses.
