Bladder cancer (BC) is the most frequent cancer of the urinary system and one of the most common malignancies in the world. In the last decade, many studies have been conducted to better understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of BC to find innovative markers for disease monitoring and treatment. In this study, we aim to identify miRNAs whose expression is associated with specific tumoral characteristics and risks of disease progression. Forty-one BC patients were enrolled in this study. The expression of 84 miRNAs was evaluated by qRT-PCR analysis on tumoral and peritumoral tissues. The results highlighted the association of the miRNA-17-92 cluster with BC, with miR-17-5p, miR-18a-5p, miR-19a-3p, and miR-20a-5p (members of this cluster) being upregulated in the tumoral tissue and correlated with muscle invasion and tumor grading. Taken together, our study identified a panel of 26 dysregulated miRNAs in BC, some of which may be associated with aggressiveness and the risk of progression of this malignancy.

Background: Gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis is clinically challenging, given the limited treatment options and poor prognosis. The molecular mechanisms that precede gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis, known as the pre-metastatic niche (PMN), and its relationship with N-methyladenosine (mA) modification remain unclear.
Methods: We used 87 resected gastric cancer tissues and 4 public datasets to explore the association between methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) expression and gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis.

Exosomes play significant roles in transferring cargo materials like proteins, RNAs (including miRNAs), and DNA. However, the role of serum exosome shuttled RNAs and miRNAs in head and neck cancer (HNC) remains unclear. This study assessed the diagnostic and prognostic significance of exosomal , , and in HNC patients.

The establishment of the fetomaternal interface depends on precisely regulated communication between the conceptus and the uterine environment. Recent evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) may play an important role in embryo-maternal dialogue. This study aimed to determine the expression profile of endometrial miRNAs during days 26-28 of equine pregnancy.

Background And Aims: Extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs) are prevalent in cancer genomes and emerge as a class of crucial yet less characterized oncogenic drivers. However, the structure, composition, genome-wide frequency, and contribution of eccDNAs in HCC, one of the most fatal and prevalent cancers, remain unexplored. In this study, we provide a comprehensive characterization of eccDNAs in human HCC and demonstrate an oncogenic role of microRNA (miRNA)-17-92-containing eccDNAs in tumor progression.
