Background: The prognostic significance of miR-378 in cancers remains controversial. We carried out the meta-analysis to clarify the issue.
Methods: Related researches were obtained from PubMed, Web of Science and EMBASE. The search was conducted up until 10 September 2023. Hazard ratios (HRs) or odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to access the correlation between miR-378 and survival outcomes and clinicopathological features.
Results: 16 articles were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled analysis showed that low miR-378 expression predicted poor overall survival (OS) (HR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.09-2.74). No significant difference was discovered between low miR-378 expression and disease-free survival/ recurrence-free survival (DFS/RFS) (HR: 1.43; 95% CI: 0.79-2.59). Subgroup analysis revealed that the low miR-378 expression had better predictive value for CRC (HR: 2.97, 95% CI: 1.27-6.96), GC (HR: 2.12, 95% CI: 1.23-3.67) and glioma (HR: 3.87, 95% CI: 1.52-9.81). In addition, low miR-378 expression had positive correlation with lymph node metastasis (yes vs. no)(OR: 2.42, 95% CI: 1.55-2.87) and distant metastasis (yes vs. no) (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.04-2.35).
Conclusion: MiR-378 could be an efficient prognostic biomarker in cancers.

Background: Sarcopenia, the age-related decline in muscle mass and muscle strength, significantly contributes to falls, diminished quality of life, and mortality. Although mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly implicated in sarcopenia, the underlying mechanisms are not fully discovered. Low-magnitude high-frequency vibration (LMHFV), a recommended treatment by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to reduce fall risk, remains poorly understood of the mechanism on improving skeletal muscle quality.

MiR-378 is abnormally expressed in various cancers, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and nonsmall cell lung cancer. Here, we developed a label- and immobilization-free ratiometric homogeneous electrochemical strategy based on exonuclease III (Exo III) for the facile and rapid determination of miR-378. Two 3'-protruding hairpin DNA probes (HPs) are designed in this strategy.

Osteoarthritis (OA) remains a major cause of lameness in horses, which leads to lost days of training and early retirement. Still, the underlying pathological processes are poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that serve as regulators of many biological processes including OA.

Low back pain is among the most grave public health concerns worldwide and the major clinical manifestation of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). The destruction of annulus fibrosus (AF) is the primary cause of IVDD. A sustainable and stable treatment system for IVDD is lacking because of the special organizational structure and low nutrient supply of AF.
