Background/aim: In addition to its established role in regulating circadian rhythms and reducing inflammation, melatonin has been demonstrated to possess anti-cancer properties. In this study, we investigated the effects of exosomal miRNAs released by melatonin-treated GC cells on gastric cancer.
Materials And Methods: To identify the potential exosomal miRNAs involved in the treatment of gastric cancer, we performed exosome small RNA sequencing (sRNA-seq) to screen significant changes in 34 exosomal miRNAs in AGS cells before and after melatonin treatment. CCK-8, wound healing, and transwell invasion assays were used to examine the effects of miRNAs on cancer characteristics. Furthermore, a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to identify the miRNA targets.
Results: Exosomal miR-27b-3p was down-regulated by approximately 1.37-fold following melatonin treatment. The CCK-8 assay revealed a significant increase in cell proliferation in the miR-27b-3p mimic group compared to that in the miR-27b-3p mimic NC group. In the wound healing assay, cells treated with miR-27b-3p mimics displayed significantly more rapid wound closure than that observed in the miR-27b-3p mimic NC group. The transwell invasion assay revealed a substantial increase in the number of invading cells in the miR-27b-3p mimic group compared to that in the miR-27b-3p mimic NC group. Additional analysis revealed that miR-27b-3p directly targets ADAMTS5 and that its up-regulation results in increased proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of GC cells.
Conclusion: Melatonin suppressed the progression of gastric cancer by regulating the exosomal miR-27b-3p-ADAMTS5 pathway. Thus, melatonin represents a promising potential therapeutic agent for patients with gastric cancer.

Background: To investigate the roles of extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and (highly expressed in BMSC EVs) in hepatic ischemia‒ reperfusion injury (HIRI).
Approaches And Results: We constructed a HIRI mouse model and pretreated it with an injection of agomir-, agomir-NC, BMSC-EVs or control normal PBS into the abdominal cavity. Compared with the HIRI group, HIRI mice preinjected with BMSC-EVs had significantly decreased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels and alleviated liver necrosis (P<0.

Synovial samples collected from 30 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and 30 normal controls were used to isolate fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) and named FLS-RA and FLS-Normal, respectively. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was utilized to detect circ_0007707 expression. Effects of circ_0007707 silencing on cell proliferation and apoptosis were evaluated using cell counting kit-8, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (Edu), and flow cytometry assays.

MiR-27b is highly expressed in endothelial cells (EC) but its function in this context is poorly characterized. This study aims to investigate the effect of miR-27b on inflammatory pathways, cell cycle, apoptosis, and mitochondrial oxidative imbalances in immortalized human aortic endothelial cells (teloHAEC), human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), and human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) exposed to TNF-α. Treatment with TNF-α downregulates the expression of miR-27b in all EC lines, promotes the activation of inflammatory pathways, induces mitochondrial alteration and reactive oxygen species accumulation, fostering the induction of intrinsic apoptosis.

Although miR-27b-3p has been evidenced to regulate the proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation of a variety of mammalian cell types, its actions and mechanisms on ovarian cell steroidogenesis remains largely unknown in both mammalian and avian species. In this study, we aimed to determine the expression profiles of miR-27b-3p in granulosa cell layers during goose ovarian follicle development and to reveal its actions on estrogen (E) secretion of goose granulosa cells as well as the underlying regulatory mechanisms. It was observed that miR-27b-3p was ubiquitously expressed throughout follicle development but exhibited much higher levels in hierarchical- than in prehierarchical follicles.
