Solid tumors frequently experience hypoxia or low O2 levels. In these conditions, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) is activated and acts as a transcription factor that regulates cancer cell adaptation to O2 and nutrient deprivation. HIF-1α controls gene expression associated with various signaling pathways that promote cancer cell proliferation and survival. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 22-nucleotide noncoding RNAs that play a role in various biological processes essential for cancer progression. This review presents an overview of how hypoxia regulates the expression of multiple miRNAs in the progression of cancer cells.

Background/Aims. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are often used for tumor diagnosis and treatment owing to their high stability, high expression abundance, and strong tissue specificity. The role of hsa_circ_0051908, a newly reported circRNA, in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unknown. Materials and Methods. Hsa_circ_0051908 expression was determined using RT-qPCR. HCC cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration were assessed using CCK-8 assay, EdU staining, TUNEL staining, flow cytometry, and transwell assay. The molecular mechanism was analyzed using western blotting. In addition, the role of hsa_circ_0051908 in tumor growth was evaluated in vivo. Results. Hsa_circ_0051908 expression was increased in both HCC tissues and cell lines. The proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells were significantly decreased after hsa_circ_0051908 knockdown, while cell apoptosis was notably increased. Furthermore, we found that hsa_circ_0051908 silencing downregulated vimentin and Snail and upregulated E-cadherin. In vivo, hsa_circ_0051908 silencing significantly inhibited the growth of the tumor. Conclusions. Our data provide evidence that hsa_circ_0051908 promotes HCC progression partially by mediating the epithelial–mesenchymal transition process, and it may be used for HCC treatment.

Background. Mutations in SLC25A32 in humans cause late-onset exercise intolerance, which is associated with various neurological and metabolic diseases. However, its specific mechanism of action in tumour development is poorly understood owing to the lack of multiomics integrated analysis of SLC25A32 in pan-cancer. Methods. We used various analytical tools to comprehensively investigate the transcription, protein level, and promoter methylation of SLC25A32. Furthermore, the GSCA and cBioPortal databases were used to evaluate the inheritance impact and epigenetic alterations of SLC25A32 in pan-cancer. SLC25A32 expression and the prognostic significance of copy number alterations in multiple cancers were compared using the UCSCXenaShiny and GEPIA2.0 platforms, and its specific function in breast cancer was experimentally verified. Results. SLC25A32 is abnormally expressed at the transcriptional and protein levels in most cancer types, with aberrant DNA promoter methylation and significant gene amplification in most tumours. SLC25A32 is significantly associated with the survival prognosis of some cancers, immune infiltrating cells, tumour stemness, and immune-related markers. SLC25A32 knockdown decreased breast tumour cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. Conclusions. This study aimed to reveal SLC25A32 as a novel prognostic biomarker for pan-cancer prediction and immunotherapy efficacy and specifically describes its underlying mechanism of action in breast cancer. SLC25A32 is widely differentially expressed in pan-cancer with prognostic significance and is correlated with immune infiltration. Additionally, it can affect breast cancer occurrence and development.

Preeclampsia (PE) manifests as a pregnancy-specific complication arising from compromised placentation characterized by inadequate trophoblast invasion. A growing body of evidence underscores the pivotal involvement of pseudogenes, a subset of long noncoding RNAs, in the pathological processes of PE. This study presents a novel finding, demonstrating a significant downregulation of the pseudogene PDIA3P1 in PE placental tissues compared to normal tissues. In vitro functional assays revealed that suppressing PDIA3P1 hindered trophoblast proliferation, invasion, and migration, concurrently upregulating the expression of secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (SFRP1). Further exploration of the regulatory role of PDIA3P1 in PE, utilizing human trophoblasts, established that PDIA3P1 exerts its function by binding to HuR, thereby enhancing the stability of Snail expression in trophoblasts. Overall, our findings suggest a crucial role for PDIA3P1 in regulating trophoblast properties and contributing to the pathogenesis of PE, offering potential targets for prognosis and therapeutic intervention.

Background. Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common chronic respiratory disease that has become a global health problem. miRNAs play an important role in multiple immune and inflammatory diseases, including AR. In this work, the mechanism by which miR-224-5p regulates AR in vivo and in vitro was examined. Methods. Human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpCs) were used to establish an AR cell model induced by Der P1, and C57BL/6 mice were used to establish an AR animal model induced by OVA (ovalbumin). RT-qPCR was used to determine the level of miR-224-5p; western blot analysis was used to determine GATA3; ELISA was used to determine the levels of OVA-specific IgE, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13; flow cytometry was used to determine the differentiation of Th1 and Th2 cells; and HE and PAS staining was used to observe the histopathological alterations in the mouse nasal mucosa and spleen. Results. miR-224-5p was downregulated in nasal mucosa from mice with AR and an AR cell model. Overexpressed miR-224-5p can improve AR development and attenuate AR symptoms by regulating GATA3-mediated Th1/Th2 responses. Conclusion. miR-224-5p attenuates allergic reactions in mice with AR by regulating the Th1/Th2 response.

Background. This study explored the mechanistic basis for nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cisplatin (DDP) treatment resistance in an effort to define effective approaches to abrogating the emergence of such chemoresistance. Methods. Analyses of NSCLC expression of hsa_circ_0000190, miR-1253, and interleukin 6 (IL-6) were conducted via a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) approach, while the ability of these tumor cells to resist DDP treatment was evaluated with a CCK-8 assay. Interactions between different RNA molecules were assessed using both RNA immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter assays. Results. NSCLC cell lines and tissues resistant to DDP were found to express higher levels of hsa_circ_0000190, and knocking down this circRNA in NSCLC cells was associated with greater sensitivity to DDP exposure. Further research identified miR-1253 as a hsa_circ_0000190 target, with the ability of hsa_circ_0000190 knockdown to restore DDP sensitivity being largely attributable to the ability of this circRNA to suppress miR-1253 activity. IL-6 was identified as a major miR-1253 target in this context, with miR-1253 regulating chemoresistance in NSCLC cells in part by preventing IL-6 upregulation. Conclusion. Together, these data suggest that hsa_circ_0000190 can promote DDP chemoresistance in NSCLC cells through its ability to modulate miR-1253/IL-6 axis activity, highlighting a novel pathway that can be targeted in an effort to guide the more effective diagnosis and management of DDP-resistant tumors.

Lymphangiogenesis, an integral contributor to lymphatic metastasis, is a significant reason for the poor prognosis of cancer patients. Anti-lymphangiogenesis treatment is a promising novel therapeutic direction, especially for tumors resistant to conventional therapies. We confirmed the ectopic expression of lymphangiogenesis-related genes (LRGs) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cohorts based on the TCGA database. We constructed a prediction signature with 15 LRG prognostic signatures (F2RL1, LOXL2, MKI67, PTPRM, GPI, POSTN, INHA, LDHA, LINC00857, ITGA2, PECAM1, SOD3, GDF15, SIX1, and FGD5), and the overall survival (OS) was significantly different between the high- and low-risk groups (TCGA-training: , TCGA-test: , GSE30219:
Background. The present study aimed to analyze the impact of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) on abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and the glycocalyx, elucidating the potential mechanism of AS-IV. Methods. Rat models of AAA were established using porcine pancreatic elastase. The effects of intraperitoneal AS-IV injection on the morphology, diameter, and glycocalyx of the aorta and the expression of miR-17-3p and Syndecan-1 (SDC1) protein were examined. Differentially expressed miRNAs from peripheral blood samples of healthy individuals, untreated patients with AAA, and treated patients with AAA were identified through sequencing. The relationship between miR-17-3p and SDC1 was validated using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. In vitro, shear stress was induced in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) to simulate AAA. Overexpression of miR-17-3p was performed to assess the effects of AS-IV on miR-17-3p and SDC1 expressions, apoptosis, and glycocalyx in HAECs. Results. AS-IV mitigated aortic damage in AAA rats, reducing the aortic diameter and alleviating glycocalyx damage. In addition, it suppressed the increase in miR-17-3p expression and promoted SDC1 expression in AAA rats. Peripheral blood miR-17-3p levels were significantly higher in patients with AAA than in healthy individuals. miR-17-3p inhibited the SDC1 protein expression in HAECs. In the in vitro AAA environment, miR-17-3p was upregulated and SDC1 was downregulated in HAECs. AS-IV inhibited miR-17-3p expression, promoted SDC1 expression, and mitigated shear stress-induced apoptosis and glycocalyx damage in HAECs. Overexpression of miR-17-3p blocked AS-IV–induced SDC1 expression promotion, glycocalyx protection, and apoptosis suppression in HAECs. Conclusion. miR-17-3p may damage the glycocalyx of aortic endothelial cells by targeting SDC1. AS-IV may promote SDC1 expression by inhibiting miR-17-3p, thereby protecting the glycocalyx and alleviating AAA.

Background. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the largest lymphoma subcategories. Usually, 50%–70% of DLBCL patients can be cured by the standard treatment. But, at least one third have bad prognosis. Based on this situation, the research on DLBCL therapy strategy is still indispensable. Methods. A prognostic signature was built according to the public data and bioinformatics methods, the stability and reliability was assessed and validated. GSEA was performed to explore the difference in different groups. Consensus clustering and immune infiltration analysis were conducted comprehensively. Results. In this work, a signature based on multiple metabolism-associated genes (MTGs) was established, containing 16 MTGs, to predict the prognosis of DLBCL patients. The accuracy and effectiveness of this signature have been verified by three external validation sets. According to the risk formula, DLBCL patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups, and the survival rate of the low-risk group was significantly higher than that of the high-risk group. Furthermore, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) demonstrated that beta-alanine metabolism and regulation of actin cytoskeleton signal pathways were enriched in the low-risk group. The actual survival and nomogram-predicted survival matched well both in the training cohort and verification cohorts. Conclusion. In general, our prognostic signature can provide reliable and valuable information for medical workers in predicting the prognosis of DLBCL.
