Article Abstract
To elucidate the role of microRNAs (miRNA) in the regulation of gene expression in Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infected swine testis (ST) cells, we analyzed miRNA and mRNA expression profiles of JEV infected ST cells by high-throughput sequencing technology as compared to uninfected controls. The results showed that 104 known miRNAs and 9 new miRNA candidates were differentially expressed in ST cells after JEV infection. We identified 396 differentially expressed mRNAs. Bioinformatics analysis identified 435 known miRNA-mRNA interaction pairs and 94 novel miRNA-mRNA interaction pairs involving miRNAs inversely correlated with the expression of their predicted target mRNAs. The known miRNAs inversely correlated with their target genes were involved in the biological processes of immunity, cytokine production, inflammation, and apoptosis. Selected miRNA-mRNA interactions were validated by luciferase reporter assay. Overall, our findings indicate that miRNAs may play critical roles in the pathogenesis of JEV infection.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and animal models exhibit an altered gut microbiome that is associated with pathological changes in the brain. Intestinal miRNA enters bacteria and regulates bacterial metabolism and proliferation. This study aimed to investigate whether the manipulation of miRNA could alter the gut microbiome and AD pathologies.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of gene expression in cancer biology, yet their spatial dynamics within tumor microenvironments (TMEs) remain underexplored due to technical limitations in current spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies. To address this gap, we present STmiR, a novel XGBoost-based framework for spatially resolved miRNA activity prediction. STmiR integrates bulk RNA-seq data (TCGA and CCLE) with spatial transcriptomics profiles to model nonlinear miRNA-mRNA interactions, achieving high predictive accuracy (Spearman's ρ > 0.

Background: Disulfidptosis, a novel cellular death manner, has yet to be fully explored within the context of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This study aims to identify genes implicated in PAH that are involved in disulfidptosis.
Method: Based on data from the GEO database, this study employed co-expression analysis, Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), hub gene identification, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) to uncover genes associated with PAH and disulfidptosis.
DDX6 interacts with DDX3X to repress translation in microRNA-mediated silencing.

DDX6 is known to repress messenger RNA (mRNA) translation and promote mRNA decay in microRNA-mediated silencing. In embryonic stem cells (ESCs), DDX6 primarily functions at the translation level, independent of mRNA destabilization; however, the precise molecular mechanism of how DDX6 represses translation remains unclear. Here, we identify DDX3X as a key downstream target of DDX6-mediated translational repression in ESCs.
