Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the translation of mRNA and protein, mainly at the posttranscriptional level. Global expression profiling of miRNAs has demonstrated a broad spectrum of aberrations that correlated with several diseases, and miRNA- 10a and miRNA-10b were the first examined miRNAs to be involved in abnormal activities upon dysregulation, including many types of cancers and progressive diseases. It is expected that the same miRNAs behave inconsistently within different types of cancer. This review aims to provide a set of information about our updated understanding of miRNA-10a and miRNA-10b and their clinical significance, molecular targets, current research gaps, and possible future applications of such potent regulators.

Wei J, Yin Y, Deng Q, Zhou J, Wang Y, Yin G, Yang J, Tang Y. Integrative Analysis of MicroRNA and Gene Interactions for Revealing Candidate Signatures in Prostate Cancer. Front Genet 2020; 11:176.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA)-gene interactions are well-recognized as involved in the progression of almost all cancer types including prostate cancer, which is one of the most common cancers in men. This study explored the significantly dysregulated genes and miRNAs and elucidated the potential miRNA-gene regulatory network in prostate cancer. Integrative analysis of prostate cancer and normal prostate transcriptomic data in The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset was conducted using both differential expression analysis and weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA). Thirteen genes (RRM2, ORC6, CDC45, CDKN2A, E2F2, MYBL2, CCNB2, PLK1, FOXM1, CDC25C, PKMYT1, GTSE1, and CDC20) were potentially correlated with prostate cancer based on functional enrichment analyses. MiRNAs targeting these genes were predicted and eight miRNAs were intersections between those miRNAs and the hub miRNAs obtained from miRNA WGCNA analysis. Three genes (E2F2, RRM2, and PKMYT1) and four miRNAs (hsa-mir-17-5p, hsa-mir-20a-5p, hsa-mir-92a-3p, and hsa-mir-93-5p) were key factors according to the interaction network. RRM2 and PKMYT1 were significantly related to survival. These findings partially elucidated the dysregulation of gene expressions in prostate cancer. Efficient manipulations of the miRNA-gene interactions in prostate cancer may be exploited as promising therapeutics.

Paraquat and MPTP alter microRNA expression profiles, and downregulated expression of miR-17-5p contributes to PQ-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration. J Appl Toxicol 2017; 38:665-677.

Abstract
Recent evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a key role in neurodegenerative diseases. However, the toxic effects of paraquat (PQ) and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) on miRNA expression profiles in dopaminergic neurons have not been investigated. In the present study, we used microarray analysis to show that PQ and MPTP induce alterations of miRNA expression in neuro-2a cells. The results reveal that treatment with 300 μm PQ caused miRNA deregulation, such that 60 miRNAs were upregulated and 228 miRNAs were downregulated. Following treatment with 300 μm MPTP, a total of 576 miRNAs were dysregulated, of which 506 were upregulated and 70 were downregulated. Alterations in the expression of miR-17-5p, miR-210-3p, miR-374-5p, miR-378-3p and miR-503-5p were verified by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Moreover, overexpression of miR-17-5p in Neuro-2a cells enhanced cell proliferation, suppressed apoptosis and promoted S phase transition of the cell cycle after PQ treatment. Taken together, our study demonstrates that characteristic changes in miRNA expression profiles occur after PQ and MPTP treatment, which suggests that miRNAs may be involved in the development of PQ- and MPTP-induced neurodegeneration. Downregulated miR-17-5p expression contributes to PQ-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration.

Megakaryocytes in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Have Unique Somatic Mutations. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2017; 187:1512-1522.

Abstract
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a group of related clonal hemopoietic stem cell disorders associated with hyperproliferation of myeloid cells. They are driven by mutations in the hemopoietic stem cell, most notably JAK2V617F, CALR, and MPL. Clinically, they have the propensity to progress to myelofibrosis and transform to acute myeloid leukemia. Megakaryocytic hyperplasia with abnormal features are characteristic, and it is thought that these cells stimulate and drive fibrotic progression. The biological defects underpinning this remain to be explained. In this study we examined the megakaryocyte genome in 12 patients with MPNs to determine whether there are somatic variants and whether there is any association with marrow fibrosis. We performed targeted next-generation sequencing for 120 genes associated with myeloid neoplasms on megakaryocytes isolated from aspirated bone marrow. Ten of the 12 patients had genomic defects in megakaryocytes that were not present in nonmegakaryocytic hemopoietic marrow cells from the same patient. The greatest allelic burden was in patients with increased reticulin deposition. The megakaryocyte-unique mutations were predominantly in genes that regulate chromatin remodeling, chromosome alignment, and stability. These findings show that genomic abnormalities are present in megakaryocytes in MPNs and that these appear to be associated with progression to bone marrow fibrosis.

Abstract
microRNAs (miRNAs) play essential roles in cardiogenesis. The altered expression of miRNAs can result in cardiac malformations by inducing abnormalities in the behavior of cardiac cells. However, the role of miR-10a in the regulation of cardiomyocyte progenitor cells (CMPCs) remains undetermined. In the present study, we found that up- or down-regulation of miR-10a inhibited or promoted the proliferation of human CMPCs, respectively, without affecting their differentiation toward cardiomyocytes. miR-10a bound to GATA6 directly and reduced GATA6 expression. Over-expression of GATA6 greatly attenuated the miR-10a-mediated inhibitory effect on the proliferation of human CMPCs. Thus, our results indicate that miR-10a could effectively modulate the proliferation of human CMPCs by targeting GATA6. The finding provides novel insights into the potency of miR-10a during heart development.

Abstract
Human platelets arise as subcellular fragments of megakaryocytes in bone marrow. The physiologic demand, presence of disease such as cancer, or drug effects can regulate the production circulating platelets. Platelet biology is essential to hemostasis, vascular integrity, angiogenesis, inflammation, innate immunity, wound healing, and cancer biology. The most critical biological platelet response is serving as "First Responders" during the wounding process. The exposure of extracellular matrix proteins and intracellular components occurs after wounding. Numerous platelet receptors recognize matrix proteins that trigger platelet activation, adhesion, aggregation, and stabilization. Once activated, platelets change shape and degranulate to release growth factors and bioactive lipids into the blood stream. This cyclic process recruits and aggregates platelets along with thrombogenesis. This process facilitates wound closure or can recognize circulating pathologic bodies. Cancer cell entry into the blood stream triggers platelet-mediated recognition and is amplified by cell surface receptors, cellular products, extracellular factors, and immune cells. In some cases, these interactions suppress immune recognition and elimination of cancer cells or promote arrest at the endothelium, or entrapment in the microvasculature, and survival. This supports survival and spread of cancer cells and the establishment of secondary lesions to serve as important targets for prevention and therapy.

Abstract
The chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), including polycythaemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythaemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), are clonal stem cell disorders characterized by dysregulated haematopoietic stem cell expansion and production of red cells, white cells and platelets alone or in combination. An acquired mutation JAK2(V617F) can be found in all three disorders and shows many of the phenotypic abnormalities of the diseases in murine models. The disease phenotype is also influenced by other unknown genetic or epigenetic factors. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are 18-24 nucleotide single-stranded non-protein-coding RNAs that function primarily as gene repressors by binding to their target messenger RNAs. There is growing evidence that miRNAs regulate haematopoiesis in both haematopoietic stem cells and committed progenitor cells. Here, we review the field of miRNA biology and its regulatory roles in normal haematopoiesis with an emphasis on miRNA deregulations in MPNs. Continued research into how miRNAs impact JAK2(V617F) clonal expansion, differential haematopoiesis among different MPNs, disease progression and leukaemia transformation will lead to a better understanding of the development of these disorders, their clinical manifestations, and their treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in cellular differentiation and cancer pathogenesis. However, their role in promoting the malignant phenotype of myeloproliferative diseases and their importance for differential diagnosis of early-stage chronic myeloproliferative diseases (CMPDs) remains widely obscure. METHODS In this study, we systematically evaluated the differential expression of miRNAs previously described to be associated with myelopoiesis and myeloproliferative pathogenesis by quantitative RT-PCR in polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, early primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and normal hematopoiesis. Our goal was to establish certain miRNAs as potential markers for CMPDs to facilitate the differentiation between these diseases and to further investigate molecular differences between the subtypes of myeloproliferative neoplasia. RESULTS An aberrant expression of miRNAs 10a and 150 could be demonstrated for essential thrombocythemia and PMF as well as for polycythemia vera and PMF, respectively. The expression of miR-150 could further be shown to correlate with both JAK2 allele burden and peripheral blood counts. CONCLUSION Thus, the miRNAs investigated in this study seem to be potential marker oncomiRs in the differential diagnosis of CMPDs and possibly hold potential for the elucidation of a JAK2-independent mechanism of pathogenesis.

Abstract
BCR-ABL-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are most frequently characterized by the JAK2V617F gain-of-function mutation, but several studies showed that JAK2V617F may not be the initiating event in MPN development, and recent publications indicate that additional alterations such as chromatin modification and microRNA (miRNA) deregulation may have an important role in MPN pathogenesis. Here we report that 61 miRNAs were significantly deregulated in CD34+ cells from MPN patients compared with controls (P<0.01). Global miRNA analysis also revealed that polycythemia vera (JAKV617F) and essential thrombocythemia (JAK2 wild type) patients have significantly different miRNA expression profiles from each other. Among the deregulated miRNAs, expression of miR-134, -214 and -433 was not affected by changes in JAK2 activity, suggesting that additional signaling pathways are responsible for the deregulation of these miRNAs in MPN. Despite its upregulation in MPN CD34+ and during normal erythropoiesis, both overexpression and knockdown studies suggest that miR-433 negatively regulates CD34+ proliferation and differentiation ex vivo. Its novel target GBP2 is downregulated during normal erythropoiesis and regulates proliferation and erythroid differentiation in TF-1 cells, indicating that miR-433 negatively regulates hematopoietic cell proliferation and erythropoiesis by directly targeting GBP2.

Abstract
Gene expression analysis of the megakaryocytic lineage requires isolation of megakaryocytes from their bone marrow microenvironment. Laser microdissection of megakaryocytes from diagnostic bone marrow biopsies allows analysis of standardised formalin-fixed samples that reflect the in situ grown status quo of a physiological or pathological condition. Taking into account that in neoplastic proliferation, e.g. myeloproliferative neoplasms, non-neoplastic haematopoietic clones proliferate in parallel, this morphology-based isolation enables selective analysis of the aberrant megakaryocytic population. Two different laser microdissection devices are presented, and the details of RNA extraction and subsequent real-time qPCR gene expression analysis of mRNA and microRNA are provided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The molecular factors that control parathyroid tumorigenesis are poorly understood. In the absence of local invasion or metastasis, distinguishing benign from malignant parathyroid neoplasm is difficult on histologic examination. We studied the microRNA (miRNA) profile in normal, hyperplastic, and benign and malignant parathyroid tumors to better understand the molecular factors that may play a role in parathyroid tumorigenesis and that may serve as diagnostic markers for parathyroid carcinoma. METHODS miRNA arrays containing 825 human microRNAs with four duplicate probes per miRNA were used to profile parathyroid tumor (12 adenomas, 9 carcinomas, and 15 hyperplastic) samples normalized to four reference normal parathyroid glands. Differentially expressed miRNA were validated by real-time quantitative TaqMan polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS One hundred fifty-six miRNAs in parathyroid hyperplasia, 277 microRNAs in parathyroid adenoma, and 167 microRNAs in parathyroid carcinomas were significantly dysregulated as compared with normal parathyroid glands [false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05]. By supervised clustering analysis, all parathyroid carcinomas clustered together. Three miRNAs (miR-26b, miR-30b, and miR-126*) were significantly dysregulated between parathyroid carcinoma and parathyroid adenoma. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed mir-126* was the best diagnostic marker, with area under the curve of 0.776. CONCLUSIONS Most miRNAs are downregulated in parathyroid carcinoma, while in parathyroid hyperplasia most miRNAs are upregulated. miRNA profiling shows distinct differentially expressed miRNAs by tumor type which may serve as helpful adjunct to distinguish parathyroid adenoma from carcinoma.

Abstract
The microRNA/miR deregulation in BCR-ABL-negative myelodysplastic-myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) is not known. Myelopoiesis-associated miR-10a, miR-17-5p, miR-155, miR-223 and miR-424 were analysed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in bone marrow cells of atypical chronic myeloid leukaemia (aCML, n = 7) and chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML, n = 8) and were compared to BCR-ABL-positive chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML, n = 10) and non-neoplastic haematopoiesis (n = 10). Down-regulation of miR-10a was found in CMML but also in CML (each p < 0.05, versus controls). Overexpression of miR-424 was detected in aCML (p < 0.05, versus CML and controls). Despite different compositions of bone marrow cells, expression of myelopoiesis-associated microRNA shows mainly similar patterns in aCML and its main differential diagnosis CMML and does not allow discrimination of these two MDS/MPN entities. Therefore, the link of deregulated microRNA expression to disease-related phenotype and the underlying molecular mechanism are still unknown.

Abstract
In primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) the megakaryocytic lineage characteristically shows aberrant proliferation and maturation in which the regulatory microRNA (miR) system might be involved. Laser-microdissected PMF and ET megakaryocytes were analysed with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) low density arrays comprising 365 microRNAs. The highest megakaryocytic expression levels were observed for miR-223, which is known to be expressed also in granulopoiesis. Cluster analysis revealed a tendency of disease-specific megakaryocytic microRNA expression profiles indicating that a complex shift of microRNA expression appears to be the underlying defect. Increased accumulation of miR-146b was observed in cellular stage PMF (p = 0.0125) but not ET megakaryopoiesis. In conclusion, this is the first microRNA profiling of in situ-derived PMF, ET and normal megakaryocytes.

Abstract
The microRNA/miR system might contribute to deregulation of cell homeostasis/disease phenotype. This is the first approach to generate an expression profile of 365 microRNAs in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with normal karyotype (n=12) and distinct cytogenetic aberrations (n=12). In MDS-del(5q), a series of microRNAs not in the 5q-region was increased. MicroRNAs encoded on chromosomes 5, 7 and 8 were not differentially expressed in MDS with del(5q), -7 or +8. Evaluation in a larger cohort could confirm the up-regulation of the miR-1 in MDS. These findings provide evidence that MDS-haematopoiesis is distinct in its microRNA-expression pattern from non-neoplastic cells.
