Background: Childhood pneumonia (CP) is a common respiratory infectious disease in children with high morbidity and mortality. However, differential changes in miRNAs may interact with the regulation of CP. The aim of this paper was to discuss the miR-200b expression in CP and its diagnostic and prognostic value.

Methods: RT-qPCR was used to measure the miR-200b expression in venous blood. ROC curve was adopted to assess the diagnostic ability of miR-200b in children with CP. Logistic analysis was adopted to study the risk factors are related to CP. Kaplan-Meier was employed to analyze the prognostic ability of miR-200b in CP. Transfection of MRC-5 cells in vitro was used to verify the impact of miR-200b on cell proliferation and apoptosis.

Results: The expression of miR-200b in serum of CP children was upregulated. ROC analysis prompted that upregulation of miR-200b could be effective in distinguishing between CP and healthy children. Compared with the good prognosis group, miR-200b expression was elevated in the poor prognosis group. Kaplan-Meier reminded that high expression of miR-200b led to a poor prognosis in CP. Cells experiments demonstrated that transfection with miR-200b inhibitor encouraged cell proliferation and inhibited apoptosis, whereas transfection with miR-200b mimic had the contrary result.

Conclusions: miR-200b had high diagnostic and prognostic value for children with CP and may become a biomarker for clinical diagnosis and prognosis.

Clinical Trial Number: Not applicable.

MicroRNA‑regulated gene expression plays an important role in autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). This study investigated the expression patterns of microRNAs (miRNAs) in MS in brain tissues using an animal experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model treated with Hypericum perforatum (HP) oil. C57BL/6 J mice were divided into two groups: MS and control.

Background/objectives: Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are common in young adult men and have high cure rates. Conventional serum tumor markers and imaging are not able to differentiate between histologic subtypes of the disease, which portend different prognoses and require distinct therapeutic strategies. Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding transcripts involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, which have emerged as promising biomarkers in a variety of tumors.

Imatinib resistance is a major obstacle to the successful treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been identified as important regulatory factors in chemotherapy resistance. This study aimed to identify key lncRNAs involved in imatinib resistance of GISTs.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate how miR-200b-3p inhibitors the proliferation and metastasis of endometrial cancer(EC) cells by inducing the expression of FOS-like antigen 2(FOSL2) of activator protein 1(AP1) transcription family. Methods Endometrial cancer cell line HEC-1-A was divided into 12 groups: NC-mimic (transfected with negative control NC mimic), miR-200b-3p mimic (transfected with miR-200b-3p mimic), NC-inhibitor (transfected with negative control NC inhibitor), miR-200b-3p inhibitor group (transfected with miR-200b-3p inhibitor), si-NC (transfected with negative control Si-NC), si-FOSL2 (transfected with si-FOSL2), oe-NC (transfected with negative control oe-NC), oe-FOSL2 group (oe-FOSL2), miR-200b-3p mimic+oe-NC group (co-transfected with miR-200b-3p mimic and oe-NC), miR-200b-3p mimic+oe-FOSL2 group (co-transfected with miR-200b-3p mimic and oe-FOSL2), miR-200b-3p inhibitor+si-NC group (co-transfected with miR-200b-3p inhibitor and si-NC), miR-200b-3p inhibitor+si-FOSL2 group (co-transfected with miR-200b-3p inhibitor and si-FOSL2). Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, Western blot, CCK-8 assay, scratch test and Transwell assay were used to detect the expression of miR-200b-3p mRNA, FOSL2 mRNA and protein expression level, cell proliferation, migration and invasion.
