Published: March 2025

MicroRNAs are endogenous non-coding small RNAs composed of about 22 nucleotides, which are widely found in eukaryotic cells and regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through complementary pairing with target genes, leading to mRNA degradation or translation inhibition. miR-34 is a highly conserved miRNA during evolution. Recent studies have found that members of the miR-34 family are involved in regulating biological processes such as aging, ciliogenesis, and immunity. To have a more comprehensive understanding of miR-34, this paper reviewed the functional evolution of miR-34, and provided a reference for further research on the related functions of miR-34.

Role of the p53/miR-34a/SIRT1 Feedback Loop in Metformin-induced Radiosensitivity of Colorectal Cancer Cells.

Curr Radiopharm

February 2025

Cellular and Molecular Research Center, Research Institute for Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases, Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Qazvin, Iran.

Introduction: Metformin induces radiation sensitivity in cancer cells, including colorectal cancer cells; however, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying its radiosensitive effects are not yet known. In this study, we investigated the role of the p53/miR-34a/SIRT1 pathway in the radiosensitivity of colon cancer cells.

Methods: The study was carried out from 2020 to 2022 at the Qazvin University of Medical Science's Cellular and Molecular Research Center.

Genome-Wide microRNA Expression Profiling in Human Spermatozoa and Its Relation to Sperm Quality.

Genes (Basel)

January 2025

Institute for Regenerative Medicine and Biotherapy (IRMB), University of Montpellier, INSERM, CHU Montpellier, 34295 Montpellier, France.

Background: Sperm samples are separated into bad and good quality samples in function of their phenotype, but this does not indicate their genetic quality.

Methods: Here, we used GeneChip miRNA arrays to analyze microRNA expression in ten semen samples selected based on high-magnification morphology (score 6 vs. score 0) to identify miRNAs linked to sperm phenotype.
