Little is known about miRNA decay, especially in skin wound healing. Here, by small RNA sequencing human and tissues, we identified 12 miRNAs that 5P:3P strand ratios significantly changed. To rule out the effects caused cellular composition, performed CD45- epidermal cells (mainly keratinocytes) CD90+ dermal (fibroblasts) isolated from wounds. Our results showed ratio of miR-X changed both cel...

Fyn kinase is implicated in prostate cancer. We illustrate the role of miR-125a-3p in cellular pathways accounted for motility and migration of prostate cancer cells, probably through its regulation on Fyn expression and Fyn-downstream proteins. Prostate cancer PC3 cells were transiently transfected with empty miR-Vec (control) or with miR-125a-3p. Overexpression of miR-125a-3p reduced migratio...

BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) is the most common cancer in the world. Despite the advancement of the treatment of GC, the 5-year overall survival rate is still very low. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of GC. A recent study suggested that miR-363-3p plays a role in the development of GC. However, the function of miR-363-3p in GC is not fully understood. MATERIAL AND...

OBJECTIVE The involvement of microRNAs in cancer and their potential as biomarkers of prognosis are becoming increasingly appreciated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical importance and prognostic value of miR-342-3p in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-342-3p. The association with clinicopathologic features was...

Since the identification of microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in regulation Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene, miRNAs known to down-regulate expression CFTR and associated proteins have been investigated as potential therapeutic targets. Here we show that miR-101-3p, targeting 3'-UTR sequence mRNA, can be selectively inhibited by a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) carrying ful...

The role of microRNA-92b-3p (miR-92b-3p) in cardiac hypertrophy was not well illustrated. The present study aimed to investigate the expression and potential target of miR-92b-3p in angiotensin II (Ang-II)-induced mouse cardiac hypertrophy. MiR-92b-3p was markedly decreased in the myocardium of Ang-II-infused mice and of patients with cardiac hypertrophy. However, miR-92b-3p expression was reve...

The role of microRNA-214-3p (miR-214-3p) in cardiac fibrosis was not well illustrated. The present study aimed to investigate the expression and potential target of miR-214-3p in angiotensin II (Ang-II)-induced cardiac fibrosis. MiR-214-3p was markedly decreased in the fibrotic myocardium of a mouse Ang-II infusion model, but was upregulated in Ang-II-treated mouse myofibroblasts. Cardiac fibro...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the expression, clinical significance, and possible biologic function of microRNA-324-3p in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tissues. METHODS In total, 54 NPC and 35 control tissues were collected. The correlation between miR-324-3p expression and the clinicopathologic characteristics was analyzed. A dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was employed to exa...
