Background: Post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA induced by microRNA is known crucial in tumor occurrence, progression, and metastasis. This study aims at identifying significant miRNA-mRNA axes for stomach adenocarcinomas (STAD).
Method: RNA expression profiles were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GEO database for screening differently expressed RNAs and miRNAs (DE-miRNAs/DE-mRNAs). Functional enrichment analysis was conducted with Hiplot and DAVID-mirPath. Connectivity MAP was applied in compounds prediction. MiRNA-mRNA axes were forecasted by TarBase and MiRTarBase. Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) of stomach specimen verified these miRNA-mRNA pairs. Diagnosis efficacy of miRNA-mRNA interactions was measured by Receiver operation characteristic curve and Decision Curve Analysis. Clinical and survival analysis were also carried out. CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE was employed for immune microenvironment measurement.
Result: Totally 228 DE-mRNAs (105 upregulated and 123 downregulated) and 38 DE-miRNAs (22 upregulated and 16 downregulated) were considered significant. TarBase and MiRTarBase identified 18 miRNA-mRNA pairs, 12 of which were verified in RT-qPCR. The network of miR-301a-3p/ELL2 and miR-1-3p/ANXA2 were established and verified in external validation. The model containing all 4 signatures showed better diagnosis ability. Via interacting with M0 macrophage and resting mast cell, these miRNA-mRNA axes may influence tumor microenvironment.
Conclusion: This study established a miRNA-mRNA network via bioinformatic analysis and experiment validation for STAD.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs characterized by covalently closed loop structures that confer high stability and diverse regulatory functions. Emerging evidence suggests that circRNAs modulate gene expression by acting as miRNA sponges, interacting with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), influencing transcription, and serving as translational templates. Their dysregulation has been linked to various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and metabolic disorders.

Purpose: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the retina play crucial roles in myopia; however, their regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate significant genes and related signaling pathways associated with myopia by constructing and analyzing competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks within the retina.
Materials And Methods: We investigated the expression patterns of lncRNAs, circRNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) within the retina using a form-deprivation myopia mouse model to elucidate their regulatory mechanisms in myopia.

Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role as a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity, and changes in gene expression of DCs during the immune response to () may affect the development of tuberculosis.
Methods: Using systems biology methods, mRNA and miRNA expression profile data of DCs infected with were obtained. A total of 1398 differentially expressed mRNAs and 79 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified, and a corresponding miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.

Objectives: This study aims to elucidate the complex molecular and cellular landscape of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) by identifying key regulatory non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), hub protein-coding genes, and Intercellular communication pathways that may serve as prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
Background: Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest malignancies worldwide, characterized by late diagnosis, limited treatment response, and poor prognosis. Among its histological subtypes, PDAC accounts for over 80% of cases and is defined by a highly fibrotic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME).

Background: For lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks mediated by circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been partially constructed. However, a mass of networks still need to be thoroughly investigated to uncover novel regulatory axes in LUAD.
Methods: Clinical information along with transcriptome data were obtained from open databases.
