Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in tumor progression and are dysregulated in glioma. However, the functional roles of lncRNAs in glioma remain largely unknown. In this study, we utilized the TCGA (the Cancer Genome Atlas database) and GEPIA2 (Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis 2) databases and observed the overexpression of lncRNA CHASERR in glioma tissues. We subsequently investigated this phenomenon in glioma cell lines. The effects of lncRNA CHASERR on glioma proliferation, migration, and invasion were analyzed using in vitro and in vivo experiments. Additionally, the regulatory mechanisms among PTEN/p-Akt/mTOR and Wnt/β-catenin, lncRNA CHASERR, Micro-RNA-6893-3p(miR-6893-3p), and tripartite motif containing14 (TRIM14) were investigated via bioinformatics analyses, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), western blot (WB), RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), dual luciferase reporter assay, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and RNA sequencing assays. RIP and RT-qRCR were used to analyze the regulatory effect of N6-methyladenosine(m6A) on the aberrantly expressed lncRNA CHASERR. High lncRNA CHASERR expression was observed in glioma tissues and was associated with unfavorable prognosis in glioma patients. Further functional assays showed that lncRNA CHASERR regulates glioma growth and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, lncRNA CHASERR sponged miR-6893-3p to upregulate TRIM14 expression, thereby facilitating glioma progression. Additionally, the activation of PTEN/p-Akt/mTOR and Wnt/β-catenin pathways by lncRNA CHASERR, miR-6893-3p, and TRIM14 was found to regulate glioma progression. Moreover, the upregulation of lncRNA CHASERR was observed in response to N6-methyladenosine modification, which was facilitated by METTL3/YTHDF1-mediated RNA transcripts. This study elucidates the m6A/lncRNACHASERR/miR-6893-3p/TRIM14 pathway that contributes to glioma progression and underscores the potential of lncRNA CHASERR as a novel prognostic indicator and therapeutic target for glioma.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy in the world and accounts for 15% of primary hemocytopathies, with an ever-increasing number of new cases. It is asymptomatic in 30% of instances; hence, the determination of highly sensitive and specific markers is necessary to make a proper diagnosis. In the last 20 years, miRNAs, involved in regulating the expression of genes responsible for cell proliferation and differentiation, including tumor cells, have been identified as potential diagnostic and prognostic markers. The main aim of the following review was to outline the role of miRNAs in the diagnosis and prognosis of MM, considering their role in the pathogenesis of the disease and identifying their target genes and pathways. For this purpose, publications dating from 2013-2023 have been reviewed. Based on the available data, it is concluded that non-coding RNAs including miRNAs could be potential markers in MM. Furthermore, they may serve as therapeutic targets for certain drugs.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease with aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) in substantia nigra (SN). The association between the α-syn and ferroptosis in PD remains unclear. GSE49036 was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and intersected with ferroptosis genes. Bioinformatics analysis was used to identify the potential differentially expressed genes (DEGs) included the development of Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. We screened 8 key genes were modulated and crosslinked by 238 miRNAs. Additionally, 5 hub genes were predicted and 38 lncRNAs targeting 3 key miRNAs were revealed. Finally, 3 hub genes (PIK3CA, BRD4, ATM) and the key lncRNA (NEAT1) were verified in neurotoxic PD models. The in vitro experiments showed that PIK3CA and ATM were significantly upregulated or the BRD4 was downregulated in the rotenone treatment and they could be rescued by the specific ferroptosis inhibitor, liproxstatin-1. The expression of the key lncRNA NEAT1 were consistent with the hub genes in same models. This study identified the proposed NEAT1-PIK3CA/ATM ceRNA network may be a specific biomarker in α-syn driving ferroptosis as well as to predict clinical outcomes and therapeutic targets in PD patients.

Abstract
Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) is an asymptomatic premalignant plasma cell dyscrasia with a predominate rise of the IgG immunoglobulin fraction without end-organ damage, often diagnosed incidentally. Despite its progression into various subsequent forms of hematological malignancies, MGUS remains underdiagnosed. A literature search was conducted using the Medline, Cochrane, Embase, and Google Scholar databases, including articles published until December 2022. Keywords used encompassed "Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance," "Plasma Cell dyscrasia," "Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance," and "IgM Monoclonal gammopathy of Undetermined Significance," This study aimed to conduct a critical review to update knowledge regarding the pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical features, diagnostic protocols, complications, and current and novel treatments for MGUS. We recommend a multidisciplinary approach to manage MGUS due to the complexity of the illness's etiology, diagnosis, and therapy. This comprehensive review also highlights future prospects, such as developing screening protocols for at-risk populations, prevention of disease progression by early diagnosis through genome-wide association studies, and management using Daratumumab and NSAIDs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current diagnostic methods for multiple myeloma (MM) include bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, which are not only complicated but also invasive, causing great pain to patients. Micro ribonucleotides (miRNA) exist stably in circulating plasma and could be easily detected, making them promising specific diagnostic markers for MM. METHODS The expression of plasma miR-448 in MM patients was detected by real-time quantitative PCR analysis. Spearman correlation was used to analyze correlations between miR-448 expression and various clinic pathological characteristics of MM patients. The ROC and the AUC (95% confidence interval) were exploited to evaluate the potential of miR-448 acting as a diagnostic marker for MM patients. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In this study, we found that the expression level of miR-448 in patients with MM was significantly higher than that in normal people and showed statistically differential expression in different stages of MM. Besides, we observed that the abundance of miR-448 in the plasma of newly diagnosed MM patients was positively correlated with the proportion of plasma cells (PC) in the bone marrow and the concentration of serum M protein (MP), respectively. In addition, ROC analysis demonstrated the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic value of miR-448 for MM are 92.90% and 87.50%, respectively. CONCLUSION Taken together, these results indicated that miR-448 may serve as a potential molecular diagnostic marker for MM.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of miRNA regulated by c-myc and its mechanism in three negative breast cancer (TNBC). We constructed MDA-MB-231 cell line with low expression of c-myc by lentivirus short hairpin RNA (shRNA), analyzed the miRNA expression profile of MDA-MB-231 cell line with different expression levels of c-myc by high-throughput sequencing technology, obtained differential miRNA by bioinformatics analysis and statistical analysis, and verified hsa-mir-4723-5p by Quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction(QRT-PCR). The target gene of hsa-mir-4723-5p was analyzed by miRDB and miRWalk database. The results showed that there were significant differences in 126 miRNAs in c-myc knockdown cell lines compared with the control group, of which 84 were significantly up-regulated and 42 were significantly down regulated. According to the results of miRNA sequencing, the miRNA closely related to the expression of c-myc was hsa-mir-4723-5p. QRT PCR showed that the expression of hsa-mir-4723-5p was down regulated in TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231 with low expression of c-myc, which was positively correlated with the expression. The target genes of hsa-mir-4723-5p were predicted according to mirdb and mirwalk database. A total of 112 target genes were obtained, and 107 target genes were related to hsa-mir-4723-5p. Through mirdb and mirwalk databases, it was found that the target gene TRAF4 of hsa-mir-4723-5p may be related to cancer pathway and affect tumor metastasis. In conclusion, the hsa-miR-4723-5p regulated by c-myc may be involved.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the most common types of hematologic malignancy for which the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unclear. Dysregulated miRNA expression has been shown to be involved in MM tumorigenesis, progression and drug response. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis based on miRNA-level integrated strategy was performed. This study aimed to elucidate key miRNA signatures and pathways in MM by integrated bioinformatics analysis. Expression profiles GSE24371, GSE49261 and GSE54156 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMirs) with p < 0.05 were identified. The target genes of these DEMirs were obtained from ENCORI database, and functional enrichment, subpathway enrichment and protein-protein interaction network construction were performed. The key target genes were identified by random walk algorithm and survival verification was performed. and discussion: First, six up-regulated and four down-regulated DEMirs shared between any two GSE data sets were identified. Second, target genes (DEMirTGs) by up-regulated and down-regulated DEMirs were obtained. Functional and subpathway enrichment analysis showed that these up-regulated DEMirs are consistently involved in the Wnt signaling pathway. Moreover, enrichment of the down-regulated DEMirs is mainly in the MAPK signaling pathway. Finally, a protein-protein interaction sub-network for these DEMirTGs was constructed, the correlations between the two key genes were identified and survival in MM was evaluated using multiple independent data sets. We identified miRNA signatures and key target genes that were closely related to MM biology, and these genes might serve as potential therapeutic targets for MM patients.

Abstract
Simple Summary Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common haematologic malignancy, and it remains an incurable disease despite the advances of novel therapies. It is characterised by a multistep process that arises from a pre-malignant asymptomatic status-defined monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), evolves to a middle stage named smouldering myeloma phase (SMM), and culminates in the active disease (MM). Identification of early and non-invasive markers of the disease progression is currently an active field of investigation. In this review, we discuss the role and significance of microRNAs (miRNAs) as potential diagnostic biomarkers to predict the clinical transition from MGUS/SMM status to MM. Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterised by proliferation of clonal plasma cells (PCs) within the bone marrow (BM). Myelomagenesis is a multi-step process which goes from an asymptomatic phase, defined as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), to a smouldering myeloma (SMM) stage, to a final active MM disease, characterised by hypercalcemia, renal failure, bone lesions anemia, and higher risk of infections. Overall, microRNAs (miRNAs) have shown to significantly impact on MM tumorigenesis, as a result of miRNA-dependent modulation of genes involved in pathways known to be crucial for MM pathogenesis and disease progression. We aim to revise the literature related to the role of miRNAs as potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, thus highlighting their key role as novel players within the field of MM and related premalignant conditions.

[PMID: 34307166 PMCID: PMC8297545 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.698197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by aberrant expansion of monoclonal plasma cells with high mortality and severe complications due to the lack of early diagnosis and timely treatment. Circulating miRNAs have shown potential in the diagnosis of MM with inconsistent results, which remains to be fully assessed. Here we updated a meta-analysis with relative studies and essays published in English before Jan 31, 2021. After steps of screening, 32 studies from 11 articles that included a total of 627 MM patients and 314 healthy controls were collected. All data were analyzed by REVMAN 5.3 and Stata MP 16, and the quality of included literatures was estimated by Diagnostic Accuracy Study 2 (QUADAS-2). The pooled area under the curve (AUC) shown in summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) analyses of circulating miRNAs was 0.87 (95%CI, 0.81–0.89), and the sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were 0.79, 0.86, 5, 0.27, 22, respectively. Meta-regression and subgroup analysis exhibited that “miRNA cluster”, patient “detailed stage or Ig isotype” accounted for a considerable proportion of heterogeneity, revealing the importance of study design and patient inclusion in diagnostic trials; thus standardized recommendations were proposed for further studies. In addition, the performance of the circulating miRNAs included in MM prognosis and treatment response prediction was summarized, indicating that they could serve as valuable biomarkers, which would expand their clinical application greatly.

Abstract
This meta-analysis is a comprehensively studies of microRNA in MM. MicroRNA clusters helped to distinguish MM and healthy people. MicroRNA is a potential noninvasive biomarker in early diagnosis of MM.
Background Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second incurable hematological malignancy. In recent years, due to the rise of microRNA (miRNA), many scholars have participated in the study of its value in the diagnosis of MM, and have obtained good but inconsistent results. Therefore, in order to determine the role of miRNA in the early diagnosis of MM, we performed this meta-analysis. Methods We searched for related studies including PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Database as of July 20, 2020 to conduct this meta-analysis. To improve the accuracy, the quality assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Study 2 (QUADAS-2) was used. We also applied random effects models to summarize sensitivity and specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and area under the curve (AUC) to measure diagnostic values, and subgroup analysis used to discover potential sources of heterogeneity. Results We finally collected 32 studies from 15 articles that included a total of 2053 MM patients and 1118 healthy controls in this meta-analysis. The overall sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, DOR and AUC were 0.81, 0.85, 5.5, 0.22, 25 and 0.90, respectively. Subgroup analysis shows that the down-regulation of microRNA clusters with larger samples size of plasma type could carry out a better diagnostic accuracy of MM patients. In addition, publication bias was not found. Conclusions Circulating miRNA could be a potential non-invasive biomarker for early diagnosis of MM. However, multi-center, more rigorous, and larger-scale studies are needed to verify our conclusions.

Abstract
Background Multiple myeloma (MM) is still an incurable hematological malignancy evolved from asymptomatic monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). New evidence suggests that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) can serve as stable diagnostic biomarkers for MM and MUGS. Methods Serum miRNAs in MM patients, MUGS patients, and healthy controls (HC) were performed by Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100. MicroRNAs in MM detected as promising biomarkers were validated by using quantitative real‐time PCR (qRT‐PCR). Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve and multivariate logistic analysis were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of miRNAs for MM and MUGS. Results In microarray analysis, the top ten differential expressed miRNAs in MM included miR‐134‐5p, miR‐107, miR‐15a‐5p, miR‐5159‐3p, miR‐1914‐3p, miR‐4723‐3p, miR‐5588‐3p, miR‐6893‐3p, miR‐7106‐3p, and miR‐6722‐5p. Three up‐regulated miRNAs (miR‐134‐5p, miR‐107, and miR‐15a‐5p) were further validated. The elevated expression levels of miR‐134‐5p, miR‐107, and miR‐15a‐5p in qRT‐PCR were increased consistent with microarray analysis. These miRNAs distinguished MM and MUGS from HC significantly. Multivariate logistic analysis showed combination miR‐107, miR‐15a‐5p with Hb, the AUC was 0.954 (95% CI: 0.890‐1.000), sensitivity of 91.3%, and specificity of 93.7% for distinguishing MM from MUGS. Conclusions These data demonstrate that miR‐134‐5p, miR‐107, and miR‐15a‐5p are potential diagnostic biomarkers in MM and MUGS. Moreover, the combination miR‐107 and miR‐15a‐5p with Hb can distinguish MM from MUGS.
