Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious disease without effective therapeutic strategies. To identify the potential treatments for SCI, it is extremely important to explore the underlying mechanism. Current studies demonstrate that anoikis might play an important role in SCI. In this study, we aimed to identify the key anoikis-related genes (ARGs) providing therapeutic targets for SCI. The mRNA expression matrix of GSE45006 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the ARGs were downloaded from the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB database). Then, the potential differentially expressed ARGs were identified. Next, correlation analysis, gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis were employed for the differentially expressed ARGs. Moreover, miRNA-gene networks were constructed by the hub ARGs. Finally, RNA expression of the top ten hub ARGs was validated in the SCI cell model and rat SCI model. A total of 27 common differentially expressed ARGs were identified at different time points (1, 3, 7, and 14 days) following SCI. The GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of these ARGs indicated several enriched terms related to proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptotic process. The PPI results revealed that most of the ARGs interacted with each other. Ten hub ARGs were further screened, and all the 10 genes were validated in the SCI cell model. In the rat model, only seven genes were validated eventually. We identified 27 differentially expressed ARGs of the SCI through bioinformatic analysis. Seven real hub ARGs (CCND1, FN1, IGF1, MYC, STAT3, TGFB1, and TP53) were identified eventually. These results may expand our understanding of SCI and contribute to the exploration of potential SCI targets.

Abstract
Mastitis is an inflammatory disease in dairy cows, causing economic losses and reducing animal welfare. In order to contribute for the discovery of early and noninvasive indicators, our objective was to determine the effects of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge on the microRNA profile (miRNome) of milk fat, using microarray analyses in cows. Cows were fed a lactation diet at ad libitum intake (n = 6). At 27 ± 3 days in milk, cows were injected with 50 µg of LPS Escherichia coli in one healthy rear mammary quarter. Milk samples were collected just before LPS challenge (LPS-) and 6.5 h after LPS challenge (LPS +) from the same cows. Microarray analysis was performed using customized 8 × 60 K ruminant miRNA microarrays to compare LPS- to LPS + miRNome. In silico functional analyses were performed using OmicsNet and Mienturnet software. MiRNome comparison between LPS- and LPS + identified 37 differentially abundant miRNAs (q-value ≤ 0.05). The predicted target genes of the 37 differentially abundant miRNAs are mostly involved in cell life including apoptosis, cell cycle, proliferation and differentiation and in gene expression processes. MiRNome analyses suggest that miRNAs profile is related to the inflammation response of the mammary gland. In conclusion, we demonstrated that milk fat might be an easy and rapid source of miRNAs that are potential indicators of early mastitis in cows.

Electroacupuncture-Modulated MiR-106b-5p Expression Enhances Autophagy by Targeting Beclin-1 to Promote Motor Function Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury in Rats. Neurospine 2023; 20:1011-1027. [PMID: 37562442 PMCID: PMC10562236 DOI: 10.14245/ns.2346446.223] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 06/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Electroacupuncture (EA) has a definite effect on the treatment of spinal cord injuries (SCIs), but its underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Meanwhile, MiR106b-5p is an autophagy- and apoptosis-related microribonucleic acid, but whether it regulates the progression of autophagy and apoptosis in SCIs is yet undetermined. As such, this study aimed to elucidate the involvement of miR-106b-5p in the EA treatment of an SCI. METHODS The miR-106b-5p level was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. In vitro, SH-SY5Y cells were transfected with miR-106b-5p mimics or inhibitors to regulate the miR-106b-5p expression, while in vivo, SCI rats were treated with EA for 7 days at the bilateral Zusanli (ST36) and Jiaji (EX-B2) acupoints. The motor function was evaluated using the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) criteria. Further, autophagic vacuoles, pathological damage, and neuronal cell morphology were observed by transmission electron microscopy, as well as by hematoxylin and eosin and Nissl staining, respectively. RESULTS The miR-106b-5p level, which can interact directly with Beclin-1 by influencing its expression, as well as the expressions of P62, Caspase-3, and Bax, was upregulated after an SCI, but it decreased after EA. Moreover, the ratio of LC3-II to LC3-I was upregulated after EA. EA can enhance autophagy, reduce neuronal apoptosis, and minimize motor dysfunction and histopathological deficits after an SCI. More importantly, however, all the above effects induced by EA can be reversed after an injection of miR-106-5p agomir to produce an overexpression of miR-106b-5p. CONCLUSION EA treatment could downregulate miR-106b-5p to alleviate SCI-mediated injuries by promoting autophagy and inhibiting apoptosis.

Abstract
This comprehensive review elucidates the intricate roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) within the colorectal cancer (CRC) microenvironment, intersecting the domains of immunity, intercellular communication, and therapeutic potential. lncRNAs, which are significantly involved in the pathogenesis of CRC, immune evasion, and the treatment response to CRC, have crucial implications in inflammation and serve as promising candidates for novel therapeutic strategies and biomarkers. This review scrutinizes the interaction of lncRNAs with the Consensus Molecular Subtypes (CMSs) of CRC, their complex interplay with the tumor stroma affecting immunity and inflammation, and their conveyance via extracellular vesicles, particularly exosomes. Furthermore, we delve into the intricate relationship between lncRNAs and other non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs and circular RNAs, in mediating cell-to-cell communication within the CRC microenvironment. Lastly, we propose potential strategies to manipulate lncRNAs to enhance anti-tumor immunity, thereby underlining the significance of lncRNAs in devising innovative therapeutic interventions in CRC.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a very serious clinical traumatic illness with a very high disability rate. It not only causes serious functional disorders below the injured segment, but also causes unimaginable economic burden to social development. Exosomes are nano-sized cellular communication carriers that exist stably in almost all organisms and cell types. Because of their capacity to transport proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, they affect various physiological and pathological functions of recipient cells and parental cells. Autophagy is a process that relies on the lysosomal pathway to degrade cytoplasmic proteins and organelles and involves a variety of pathophysiological processes. Exosomes and autophagy play critical roles in cellular homeostasis following spinal cord injury. Presently, the coordination mechanism of exosomes and autophagy has attracted much attention in the early efficacy of spinal cord injury. In this review, we discussed the interaction of autophagy and exosomes from the perspective of molecular mechanisms, which might provide novel insights for the early therapeutic application of spinal cord injury.

S100A1 expression is increased in spinal cord injury and promotes inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis of PC12 cells induced by LPS via ERK signaling. Mol Med Rep 2022; 27:30.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe neurological disorder and the molecular mechanisms leading to its poor prognosis remain to be elucidated. S100A1, a mediator of Ca2+ handling of sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial function, operates as an endogenous danger signal (alarmin) associated with inflammatory response and tissue injury. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression and biological effects of S100A1 in SCI. A rat model of SCI and a PC12 cell model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced inflammation were established to examine S100A1 expression at the mRNA and protein levels. The inflammation level, which was mediated by S100A1, was determined based on inflammatory factor (IL‑1β, IL‑6 and TNF‑α) and anti‑inflammatory factor (IL‑10) expression. The effects of S100A1 on cellular oxidation and anti‑oxidation levels were observed by detecting the levels of reactive oxygen species, superoxide dismutase, catalase activities and nuclear factor erythroid 2‑related factor 2 expression. The protein levels of Bax, Bcl2 and cleaved caspase‑3 were used for the evaluation of the effects of S100A1 on apoptosis. Phosphorylated (p‑)ERK1/2 expression was used to evaluate the effects of S100A1 on ERK signaling. The results revealed that S100A1 expression was significantly upregulated in vivo and in vitro in the PC12 cell model of LPS‑inflammation. The silencing and overexpression of S100A1 helped alleviate and aggravate LPS‑induced inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis levels, respectively. S100A1 was found to regulate the ERK signaling pathway positively. An inhibitor of ERK signaling (MK‑8353) partially abolished the promoting effects of the overexpression of S100A1 on inflammation, oxidative stress damage and apoptosis. In conclusion, S100A1 expression was elevated in model of SCI and in the PC12 cell model of LPS‑induced inflammation. Furthermore, the overexpression/silencing S100A1 aggravated/mitigated the inflammation, oxidative stress damage and the apoptosis of LPS‑stimulated PC12 cells via the ERK signaling pathway. The present study revealed the mechanism of S100A1 in SCI, which provided a new theoretic reference for future research on SCI.

Abstract
Autophagy is a conserved cellular self-digesting process that degrades obsoleting proteins and cellular components and plays a crucial role in the tumorigenesis, metastasis, and drug resistance of various tumors such as gastric cancer (GC). As a hotspot in molecular biology, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are involved in the regulation of multiple biological processes, such as autophagy. Increasing evidence indicate that various ncRNAs exert double roles in the initiation and progression of GC, either serve as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Recent studies have shown that some ncRNAs could modulate autophagy activity in GC cells, which would affect the malignant transformation and drug resistance. Whether the function of ncRNAs in GC is dependent on autophagy is undefined. Therefore, identifying the underlying moleculr targets of ncRNAs in autophagy pathways and the role of ncRNA-regulated autophagy in GC could develop new treatment interventions for this disease. This review summarizes the autophagy process and its role in GC, and the regulatory mechanisms of ncRNAs, as well as focuses on the dual role of ncRNAs-mediated autophagy in GC, for the development of potential therapeutic strategies in GC patients.

Tanreqing Injection Attenuates Macrophage Activation and the Inflammatory Response via the lncRNA-SNHG1/HMGB1 Axis in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury. Front Immunol 2022; 13:820718. [PMID: 35547731 PMCID: PMC9084914 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.820718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The etiology of acute lung injury (ALI) is not clear, and the treatment of ALI presents a great challenge. This study aimed to investigate the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of ALI and to define the target gene of Tanreqing (TRQ), which is a traditional Chinese medicine formula composed of five medicines, scutellaria baicalensis, bear bile powder, goat horn powder, honeysuckle and forsythia. Macrophage activation plays a critical role in many pathophysiological processes, such as inflammation. Although the regulation of macrophage activation has been extensively investigated, there is little knowledge of the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in this process. In this study, we found that lncRNA-SNHG1 expression is distinctly regulated in differently activated macrophages in that it is upregulated in LPS. LncRNA-SNHG1 knockdown attenuates LPS-induced M1 macrophage activation. The SNHG1 promoter was bound by NF-κB subunit p65, indicative of SNHG1 being a direct transcriptional target of LPS-induced NF-κB activation. SNHG1 acts as a proinflammatory driver that leads to the production of inflammatory cytokines and the activation of macrophages and cytokine storms by physically interacting with high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) in ALI. TRQ inhibited NF-κB signaling activation and binding of NF-κB to the SNHG1 promoter. In conclusion, this study defined TRQ target genes, which can be further elucidated as mechanism(s) of TRQ action, and provides insight into the molecular pathogenesis of ALI. The lncRNA-SNHG1/HMGB1 axis is an ideal therapeutic for ALI treatment.

Abstract
Research suggests contact sports affect neurological health. This study used permutation-based mediation statistics to integrate measures of metabolomics, neuroinflammatory miRNAs, and virtual reality (VR)-based motor control to investigate multi-scale relationships across a season of collegiate American football. Fourteen significant mediations (six pre-season, eight across-season) were observed where metabolites always mediated the statistical relationship between miRNAs and VR-based motor control (pSobelperm≤ 0.05; total effect > 50%), suggesting a hypothesis that metabolites sit in the statistical pathway between transcriptome and behavior. Three results further supported a model of chronic neuroinflammation, consistent with mitochondrial dysfunction: (1) Mediating metabolites were consistently medium-to-long chain fatty acids, (2) tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites decreased across-season, and (3) accumulated head acceleration events statistically moderated pre-season metabolite levels to directionally model post-season metabolite levels. These preliminary findings implicate potential mitochondrial dysfunction and highlight probable peripheral blood biomarkers underlying repetitive head impacts in otherwise healthy collegiate football athletes. Permutation-based mediation statistics can be applied to multi-scale biology problems Fatty acids were a critical link between elevated miRNAs and motor control HAEs interacted with pre-season metabolite levels to model post-season levels Together, our observations point to brain-related mitochondrial dysfunction

Abstract
Sepsis, an inflammation-related clinical syndrome, is characterized by disrupted immune homeostasis accompanied by infection and multiple organ dysfunction as determined by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA). Substantial evidence has recently suggested that lncRNAs orchestrate various biological processes in diseases, and lncRNAs play special roles in the diagnosis and management of sepsis. To date, very few reviews have provided clear and comprehensive clues to demonstrate the roles of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Based on previously published studies, in this review, we summarize the different functions of lncRNAs in sepsis-induced cellular disorders and sepsis-induced organ failure to show the potential roles of lncRNAs in the diagnosis and management of sepsis. We further depict the function of some lncRNAs known to be pivotal regulators in the pathogenesis of sepsis to discuss the underlying molecular events. Additionally, we list and discuss several hotspots in research on lncRNAs, which may be conducive to future lncRNA-targeted therapeutic approaches for sepsis treatment.
