Article Abstract

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a highly malignant infrequent tumor with a dismal prognosis. microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are crucial in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation. Due to their ability to regulate multiple gene networks, miRNAs are central to the hallmarks of cancer, including sustained proliferative signaling, evasion of growth suppressors, resistance to cell death, replicative immortality, induction/access to the vasculature, activation of invasion and metastasis, reprogramming of cellular metabolism, and avoidance of immune destruction. ACC represents a singular form of neoplasia associated with aberrations in the expression of evolutionarily conserved short, non-coding RNAs. Recently, the role of miRNAs in ACC has been examined extensively despite the disease's rarity. Hence, the current review is a fast-intensive track elucidating the potential role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of ACC besides their association with the survival of ACC.

Department of Information Network Center, Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha 410013, China.

Objectives: Increasing detection of low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is associated with overdiagnosis and overtreatment. N6-methyladenosine (mA)-mediated microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation plays a critical role in tumor metastasis and progression. However, the functional role of mA-miRNAs in PTC remains unclear.

Objectives: To investigate the role of circular RNA circ_0000437 in regulating biological behaviors of breast cancer cells and the molecular mechanism.

Methods: Breast cancer MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with sh-circ_0000437, mimics, inhibitor, si-CTPS1, or their respective negative controls. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of circ_0000437, let-7b-5p, CTPS1, Notch1, Hes1, and Numb in breast cancer cell lines and tissues.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of cardiomyocytes-derived exosomes on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiomyocyte injury and its mechanism.

Methods: Exosomes isolated from rat cardiomyocytes with or without LPS treatment were co-cultured with rat lymphocytes. The lymphocytes with or without exosome treatment were co-cultured with LPS-induced rat cardiomyocytes for 48 h.

The Nucleolus and Its Associated Pathologies.

GIMUNICAH, Faculty of Medicine, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Honduras, San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

The nucleolus, traditionally known for its role in ribosome biogenesis, is now recognized for its broader functions, including cellular stress adaptation and its involvement in various pathological processes, such as ribosomal alterations, viral infections, autoimmune disorders, and age-related diseases. Disruptions in nucleolar function can impair protein synthesis, cellular homeostasis, and immune responses, leading to multisystem disorders and increased susceptibility to neoplasms. This review classifies nucleolus-associated diseases into seven categories: deficiencies in protein synthesis, ribosomal and non-ribosomal alterations, cancer and nucleolar alterations, diseases related to aging and cellular stress, autoimmune diseases, and viral diseases.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a persistent inflammatory condition marked by the destruction of the intestinal mucosal barrier, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and ulceration. M1/M2 macrophage polarization plays an imperative function in the regulation of inflammation through the nuclear factor-kappa B (NFκB) signaling pathway and modulating microRNA-155 (miR-155). Recent studies have highlighted the anti-ulcerogenic and colo-protective properties of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.
