Abstract Recent researches indicate the key role of circRNA in gastric cancer (GC) progression. However, circ_0026359 GC progression remains unclear. This study aims to analyze development and underlying mechanism. The results showed that compared with controls, tissues cells displayed high HOXA9 expression, low miR-140-3p expression. Depletion repressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the role of miR-148a-3p in lupus nephritis (LN) based on data from previous studies and a microRNA assay. We evaluated the miR-148a-3p expression level in LN renal tissues and blood serum to determine its clinicopathological significance and effect on glomerular cell proliferation. Then, we collected renal glomeruli from LN mice and determined the ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to play a regulatory role in various cancers including laryngocarcinoma. MiR-29a-3p is a potential tumor-suppressive miRNA, but its function in laryngocarcinoma is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the roles of miR-29a-3p in laryngocarcinoma. Prominin1 (PROM1) was predicted as a target gene of miR-29a-3p and this was verified using a luciferase r...

The role of microRNA-214-3p (miR-214-3p) in cardiac hypertrophy 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 mouse cardiac hypertrophy. In mice with either Ang-II infusion or transverse aortic constriction (TAC) model, miR-214-3p expression was markedly decreased in the hypertrophic myocardi...

Abstract Background and Aims Hyperuricemia (HN) is a threat for the occurrence of renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF). Dysfunctional histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) elicit damage. This study aimed to explore role HDAC3 in HN-induced RIF from microRNA-19b-3p/splicing factor 3b subunit (miR-19b-3p/SF3B3) axis. Method 1. The HN model was established on rats induce by oral administration adenine potass...

We have previously reported the role of miR-217 in anti-cancer drug-resistance. miRNA array and miRNA hybridization analysis predicted miR-30a-3p as a target of miR-217. miR-30a-3p and miR-217 formed a negative feedback loop and regulated the expression of each other. Ago1 immunoprecipitation and co-localization analysis revealed a possible interaction between miR-30a-3p and miR-217. miR-30a-3p...

Introduction Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major kind of mellitus. This study aimed to analyze the regulatory effect long noncoding RNA NBR2 on pancreatic  cell function and related mechanisms, clinical significance abnormal expression in patients with T2DM. Material methods The levels microRNA-19a-3p (miR-19a-3p) were measured using quantitative Real-Time PCR. glucose-stimulated insuli...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an early and key process in the metastatic cascade during the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of the present study was to identify deregulated EMT-related microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) of CRC and assess the effect of differentially expressed miRNAs on the prognosis of patients with CRC. Genome-wide expression profiling of miRNAs was assessed ...

Down-regulation of the miRNA miR-338-3p correlates with the invasive ability of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. However, it is currently unclear whether down-regulation of miR-338-3p induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which may be the underlying mechanism governing HCC invasion. Here, we demonstrate that restoration of miR-338-3p expression via transfection of a miR-338-3p m...

Background Studies have shown that the microRNA miR-302 can affect the proliferation, migration and cell cycle progression of endometrial carcinoma (EC). miR-302 clusters have been shown to play an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of cancer cells and in their tumorigenicity. Subjects and methods In this study, we detected the expression of genes through quantitative rev...
