Molecular Mechanism of lncRNAs in Regulation of Breast Cancer Metastasis; a Comprehensive Review.

Although the number of breast cancer deaths has decreased, and there have been developments in targeted therapies and combination treatments for the management of metastatic illness, metastatic breast cancer is still the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths in U.S. women.

MicroRNAs Modulating Neuroinflammation in Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most frequent age-associated neurodegenerative disorder. Presence of α-synuclein-containing aggregates in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons are among the characteristic of PD. One of the hallmarks of PD pathophysiology is chronic neuroinflammation.

Small molecule and big function: MicroRNA-mediated apoptosis in rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune condition and chronic inflammatory disease, mostly affecting synovial joints. The complex pathogenesis of RA is supportive of high morbidity, disability, and mortality rates. Pathological changes a common characteristic in RA synovial tissue is attributed to the inadequacy of apoptotic pathways.

LncRNAs involvement in pathogenesis of immune-related disease via regulation of T regulatory cells, an updated review.

The pathophysiology of several illnesses, including cancer and autoimmune diseasesdepends on human regulatory T cells (Tregs), and abnormalities in these cells may function as triggers for these conditions. Cancer and autoimmune, and gynecological diseases are associated with the differentiation of the proinflammatory T cell subset TH17 and its balance with the production of Treg. Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have become important regulatory molecules in a wide range of illnesses.

Role of microRNA-146a in cancer development by regulating apoptosis.

Despite great advances in diagnostic and treatment options for cancer, like chemotherapy surgery, and radiation therapy it continues to remain a major global health concern. Further research is necessary to find new biomarkers and possible treatment methods for cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), tiny non-coding RNAs found naturally in the body, can influence the activity of several target genes.

Decellularized human amniotic membrane loaded with epigallocatechin-3-gallate accelerated diabetic wound healing.

Diabetic wounds, as one of the most important complications of diabetes, face many challenges in treatment. Herein we investigated whether decellularized human amniotic membrane (dAM) loaded with epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) could promote healing in diabetic rats. Sixty diabetic rats were randomly planned into the untreated group, dAM group, EGCG group, and dAM + EGCG group.

Translational research of new developments in targeted therapy of colorectal cancer.

A severe global health concern is the rising incidence and mortality rate of colorectal cancer (CRC). Chemotherapy, which is typically used to treat CRC, is known to have limited specificity and can have noticeable side effects. A paradigm shift in cancer treatment has been brought about by the development of targeted therapies, which has led to the appearance of pharmacological agents with improved efficacy and decreased toxicity.

Reduced expression of miR-221 is associated with the pro-apoptotic pathways in spermatozoa of oligospermia men.

Oligospermia and asthenozoospermia, both frequent, can lead to male infertility. Oligospermia might be viewed as a milder form of azoospermia because the same mutations that produce azoospermia in some individuals also create oligospermia in other individuals. In this, we looked at different characteristics of oligospermia men, counting the level of apoptosis and a few related apoptotic and oxidative stress components, and compared them to solid controls.

Progressing nanotechnology to improve targeted cancer treatment: overcoming hurdles in its clinical implementation.

The use of nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize the detection and treatment of cancer. Developments in protein engineering and materials science have led to the emergence of new nanoscale targeting techniques, which offer renewed hope for cancer patients. While several nanocarriers for medicinal purposes have been approved for human trials, only a few have been authorized for clinical use in targeting cancer cells.

miR-199a-3p suppresses neuroinflammation by directly targeting MyD88 in a mouse model of bone cancer pain.

Aims: Pain is a profoundly debilitating symptom in cancer patients, leading to disability, immobility, and a marked decline in their quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the potential roles of miR-199a-3p in a murine model of bone cancer pain induced by tumor cell implantation in the medullary cavity of the femur.

Materials And Methods: We assessed pain-related behaviors, including the paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) and the number of spontaneous flinches (NSF).

Long non-coding RNAs: controversial roles in drug resistance of solid tumors mediated by autophagy.

Current genome-wide studies have indicated that a great number of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcribed from the human genome and appeared as crucial regulators in a variety of cellular processes. Many studies have displayed a significant function of lncRNAs in the regulation of autophagy. Autophagy is a macromolecular procedure in cells in which intracellular substrates and damaged organelles are broken down and recycled to relieve cell stress resulting from nutritional deprivation, irradiation, hypoxia, and cytotoxic agents.

Recent advances in non-small cell lung cancer targeted therapy; an update review.

Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In the last decade, significant advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, particularly NSCLC, have been achieved with the help of molecular translational research. Among the hopeful breakthroughs in therapeutic approaches, advances in targeted therapy have brought the most successful outcomes in NSCLC treatment.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and coenzyme Q10 synergistically attenuates damage progression in spinal cord injury in a rat model.

Background: Identifying effective spinal cord injury (SCI) treatments remains a major challenge, and current approaches are still unable to effectively improve its. Currently, we investigated the combined effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) along with coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in the recovery of SCI in rats.

Material And Methods: Ninety female mature Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated into five equal groups, including; sham group, SCI group, HBO group (underwent SCI and received HBO), CoQ10 group (underwent SCI and received CoQ10), and HBO+CoQ10 group (underwent SCI and received HBO plus CoQ10).

The Significant Role of microRNAs in Gliomas Angiogenesis: A Particular Focus on Molecular Mechanisms and Opportunities for Clinical Application.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs with only 20-22 nucleic acids that inhibit gene transcription and translation by binding to mRNA. MiRNAs have a diverse set of target genes and can alter most physiological processes, including cell cycle checkpoints, cell survival, and cell death mechanisms, affecting the growth, development, and invasion of various cancers, including gliomas. So optimum management of miRNA expression is essential for preserving a normal biological environment.
