Published: April 2024

Background: The interaction of microRNA with Chinese herbal medicines is a promising therapeutic approach for prevention of cervical cancer.

Methods: Western blotting or qRT-PCR were carried out to identify the expression of and miR-638. A tetrandrine (TET) cell model was used to explore the effects of miR-638 and its target gene using CCK-8, transwell, wound healing, and western blot assays. Furthermore, luciferase activity assay was conducted to measure the interaction among TET, and miR-638.

Results: Under TET treatment, Hela and SiHa cells exhibited repressed cell viability, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and these effects were further enhanced by high expression of miR-638. In contrast, expression was low in TET-treated cells and had an opposite effect to that of miR-638.

Conclusion: We highlighted that miR-638 suppresses cervical cancer progression by inhibiting under tetrandrine treatment.

With a high mortality rate that accounts for millions of cancer-related deaths each year, breast cancer is the second most common malignancy in women. Chemotherapy has significant potential in the prevention and spreading of breast cancer; however, drug resistance often hinders therapy in breast cancer patients. The identification and the use of novel molecular biomarkers, which can predict response to chemotherapy, might lead to tailoring breast cancer treatment.

Background: There is an unmet need to improve the diagnosis of cancer with precise treatment strategies. Therefore, more powerful diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic biomarkers are needed to overcome tumor cells. microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs), as a class of small non-coding RNAs, play essential roles in cancer through the tumor-suppressive or oncogenic effects by post-transcriptional regulation of their targets.
