[PMID: 38220303 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs play an important role in regulating cell function and gene expression. Early prevention and clinical diagnosis of diseases have high requirements for high-sensitivity detection of microRNAs. Due to the limitations of tedious operation and large sample size, miRNA with small molecular weight and low expression abundance cannot be accurately detected in traditional miRNA detection. To improve the sensitivity and accuracy of detection, we established a novel biosensor based on nucleic acid circuit of signal amplification, which converted miRNA recognition into a fluorescence signal for amplification. RESULTS We designed a biosensor based on an exponential amplification reaction with cascaded HCR and DNAzyme nucleic acid circuit (named E-NOF biosensor) by amplicon sub-fragments to trigger the construction of fluorescence nano-orbitals (NOF), which could be used to detect miRNA ultrasensitively. By modifying two fluorophores (Cy3 and Cy5) on the chain of constructing nano-orbitals, when the amplicon triggered the construction of nano-orbitals, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) occurred between Cy3 and Cy5, and then two fluorescence signals with different trends could be observed. Therefore, through the ratio of the two signals, we could quantitatively and quickly detect the miRNA from 1 fM to 100 nM, and the E-NOF biosensor detection limit was as low as 0.129 fM. Furthermore, the HCR nucleic acid circuit cascaded with DNAzyme could enrich the fluorophores on the nano-orbitals and significantly enhance the fluorescence signal by accelerating the reaction rate. SIGNIFICANCE According to our understanding, the E-NOF biosensor is the first strategy to cascade EXPAR with HCR and DNAzyme nucleic acid circuit for miRNA-1246 detection. Accurate results can be obtained in only 120 min. Compared with the traditional HCR system, the sensitivity of the new E-NOF biosensor is increased by 1 × 109 times. Furthermore, the biosensor can also detect biomarkers in human serum samples. It has great potential in miRNA detection and identification.

[PMID: 38038422 PMCID: PMC10690752 DOI: 10.2478/raon-2023-0061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Asbestos exposure is associated with different asbestos-related diseases, including malignant mesothelioma (MM). MM diagnosis is confirmed with immunohistochemical analysis of several markers, including calretinin. Increased circulating calretinin was also observed in MM. The aim of the study was to determine if CALB2 polymorphisms or polymorphisms in genes that can regulate calretinin expression are associated with serum calretinin levels or MM susceptibility. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study included 288 MM patients and 616 occupationally asbestos-exposed subjects without MM (153 with asbestosis, 380 with pleural plaques and 83 without asbestos-related disease). Subjects were genotyped for seven polymorphisms in CALB2, E2F2, MIR335, NRF1 and SEPTIN7 genes using competitive allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Serum calretinin was determined with ELISA in 545 subjects. Nonparametric tests, logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Carriers of at least one polymorphic CALB2 rs889704 allele had lower calretinin levels (P = 0.036). Carriers of two polymorphic MIR335 rs3807348 alleles had higher calretinin (P = 0.027), while carriers of at least one polymorphic NRF1 rs13241028 allele had lower calretinin levels (P = 0.034) in subjects without MM. Carriers of two polymorphic E2F2 rs2075995 alleles were less likely to develop MM (odds ratio [OR] = 0.64, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.43-0.96, P = 0.032), but the association was no longer significant after adjustment for age (P = 0.093). Optimal serum calretinin cut-off values differentiating MM patients from other subjects differed according to CALB2, NRF1, E2F2, and MIR335 genotypes. CONCLUSIONS The results of presented study suggest that genetic variability could influence serum calretinin levels. These findings could contribute to a better understanding of calretinin regulation and potentially to earlier MM diagnosis.

Abstract
Asthma, a prevalent disease characterized by innate and adaptive immune responses, has been associated with several risk factors including miR-146a. To better understand the potential impact of miR-146a SNPs on asthma susceptibility and clinical features in Southern Chinese Han population, we conducted a case-control to analyze two functional SNPs (rs2910164 and rs57095329) of the miR-146a (394 patients with asthma and 395 healthy controls). Our findings suggest that the rs2910164 C/G genotype may increase the risk for asthma in females, while the rs57095329 G/G genotype may be involved in the regulation of clinical characteristics of males with asthma. In addition, we demonstrated that the SNPs rs2910164 C/G and rs57095329 A/G variations functionally affected the miR-146a levels in patients with asthma, and may alter structure of miR-146a. Our data are the first to suggest that miR-146a SNPs may be significantly associated with onset asthma in Southern Chinese Han population. Our studies may provide new insight into the potential significance of miR-146a SNPs in asthma.

JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF ISFAHAN UNIVERSITY OF MEDICAL SCIENCES 2023; 28:32.

Abstract
Background MicroRNA-155 is a key player in inflammatory reactions, carcinogenesis, and tumor development. In this study, polymorphism of miRNA-155 rs767649 T>A and its gene and suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1) expression were investigated in relation to cancer susceptibility and development in breast cancer (BC) patients. Materials and Methods Polymorphism of miRNA-155 rs767649 T>A was evaluated between a population of 174 patients with BC and 129 controls using restriction fragment length polymorphism and the expression of miR-155 and SOCS-1 were examined in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results TT genotype of miR-155 rs767649 T>A was associated with higher level of miR-155 in PBMCs of BC patients relative to AT and AA genotypes (21.76 ± 4.4, 4.046 ± 1.35, 2.56 ± 0.81, respectively; P < 0.001) and increased lymph node metastasis (r = 0.292, P = 0.001), not BC susceptibility (P = 0.402 and P = 0.535; respectively). TT genotype of miR-155 rs767649 T>A was associated with less gene expression of SOCS-1 in PBMCs of BC patients compared to AT and AA genotypes (1.173 ± 0.57, 0.92 ± 0.827, 5.512 ± 0.92, respectively; P = 0.003). Conclusion This study demonstrated for the first time the association between the T allele of the rs767649 T>A polymorphism in the pre-MIR155 gene and higher expression of miR-155, lower expression of SOCS-1, and swift latent progression in newly diagnosed BC patients. Thus, miR-155 may play a critical role in BC pathogenesis.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in cancer progression. Our previous study demonstrated that NIN1/RPN12 binding protein 1 homolog (NOB1) was a functional regulator in the progression of ovarian cancer (OC). However, the role of miRNA-612 (miR-612) in OC has not been elucidated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the regulatory mechanism of NOB1 targeting miRNA, miR-612, in OC tumorigenicity. The miR-612 expression was down-regulated in OC patient tissues and four OC cell lines (Caov3, A2780, SKOV3 and OVCAR3). The miR-612 level was negatively correlated with NOB1 expression, and dual-luciferase reporter assay indicated that miR-612 suppressed NOB1 expression by targeting the 3'UTR of NOB1 transcript. Up-regulation of miR-612 mediated by lentiviral transduction suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, invasion, and induced apoptosis in OC cell lines. In addition, miR-612 overexpression inhibited tumor growth of OC in vivo by sequestering NOB1 expression. In conclusion, our results suggested that miR-612 directly targeted NOB1 to suppress OC progression. Therefore, the miR-612-NOB1 axis could serve as therapeutic targets for OC.

Abstract
There is growing interest in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes of microRNAs (miRNAs), which could be associated with susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC) and therefore for prognosis of the disease and/or treatment response. Moreover, these miRNAs-SNPs could serve as new, low-invasive biomarkers for early detection of CRC. In the present article, we performed a thorough review of different SNPs, which were investigated for a correlation with the CRC risk, prognosis, and treatment response. We also analyzed the results from different meta-analyses and the possible reasons for reported contradictory findings, especially when different research groups investigated the same SNP in a gene for a particular miRNA. This illustrates the need for more case-control studies involving participants with different ethnic backgrounds. According to our review, three miRNAs-SNPs-miR-146a rs2910164, miR-27a rs895819 and miR-608 rs4919510-appear as promising prognostic, diagnostic and predictive biomarkers for CRC, respectively.

Abstract
Background miR-21, miR-26b, miR-221/222 and miR-126 play crucial roles in cervical cancer development. Studies have shown that polymorphisms in miRNA genes can affect miRNA expression, which might be associated with cancer development. Methods Ten single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the miR-21, miR-26b, miR-221/222 and miR-126 genes (rs1292037, rs13137 in miR-21; rs2227255, rs2227258 in miR-26b; rs2858061, rs34678647, rs2858060, rs2745709 in miR-221/222; rs2297537, rs2297538 in miR-126) were selected, and genotyped in a total of 2176 individuals, including 435 patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), 743 patients with cervical cancer (CC) and 998 healthy persons using TaqMan assays, and their associations with CIN and CC were evaluated. Results Our results showed significant differences for the rs2297538 genotypes between the CIN and CC groups (P = 0.001). In addition, our results also showed significant differences for the rs2297537 alleles between the CIN and CC groups (P = 0.003), and the C allele of rs2297537 might be associated with a decreased risk of CC (OR = 0.72, 95%CI: 0.58–0.90). At the inheritance analysis, between the CIN and control groups, the T/T-T/C genotype in rs1292037 and A/A-A/T genotype in rs13137 might be associated with an increased risk of CIN in the recessive model (OR = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.17–2.20 and OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.15–2.15). In addition, the C/C-T/T genotype of rs2745709 might be associated with a decreased risk of CIN in the overdominant model (OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.52–0.82). Between, CIN and CC group, the T/T-C/C genotype in rs1292037 and A/A-T/T genotype in rs13137 might be associated with an increased risk of CC in the overdominant model (OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.12–1.81 and OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.12–1.80). The rs2297538 G/G-A/G genotype might be associated with an increased risk of CC in the recessive model (OR = 2.83, 95% CI: 1.52–5.25). The rs2297537 2C/C + C/G genotype might be associated with a decreased risk of CC (OR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.57–0.89) in the log-additive model. The rs2745709 T/T-C/C genotype might be associated with an increased risk of CC (OR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.13–1.83) in the overdominant model. Conclusion Our results indicate that rs2297538 and rs2297537 in miR-126, rs1292037 and rs13137 in miR-21, and rs2745709 in miR-221/222, may have important roles in the development of CIN or CC.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC), a heterogeneous, aggressive illness with high mortality, is essentially a genomic disease. While the high-penetrance genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 play important roles in tumorigenesis, moderate- and low-penetrance genes are also involved. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNA (miRNA) genes have recently been identified as BC risk factors. miRNA genes are currently classified as low-penetrance. SNPs are the most common variations in the human genome. While the role of miRNA SNPs in BC susceptibility has been studied extensively, results have been inconsistent. This review analyzes the results of association studies between miRNA SNPs and BC risk from countries around the world. We conclude that: (a) By continent, the largest proportion of studies to date were conducted in Asia (65.0 %) and the smallest proportion in Africa (1.8 %); (b) Association studies have been completed for 67 different SNPs; (c) 146a, 196a2, 499, 27a, and 423 are the most-studied miRNAs; (d) The SNPs rs2910164 (miRNA-146a), rs11614913 (miRNA-196a2), rs3746444 (miRNA-499) and rs6505162 (miRNA-423) were the most widely associated with increased BC risk; (e) The majority of studies had small samples, which may affect the precision and power of the results; and (f) The effect of an SNP on BC risk depends on the ethnicity of the population. This review also discusses potential explanations for controversial findings.

Characteristics of miRNA-SNPs in healthy Japanese subjects and non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and soft tissue sarcoma patients. Noncoding RNA Res 2021; 6:123-129. [PMID: 34322648 PMCID: PMC8283029 DOI: 10.1016/j.ncrna.2021.06.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2021] [Revised: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes encoding microRNAs (miRNA-SNPs) may affect the maturation steps of miRNAs or target mRNA recognition, leading to changes in the expression of target mRNAs to cause gain- or loss-of-function changes. Several miRNA-SNPs are known to be associated with the risk of diseases such as cancer. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively determine the miRNA-SNPs in Japanese individuals to evaluate the differences in allele frequencies between ethnicities by comparing data from the global population in the 1000 Genomes Project and differences between healthy subjects and cancer patients. We performed next-generation sequencing targeting genes encoding 1809 pre-miRNAs. As a result, 403 miRNA-SNPs (146 miRNA-SNPs per subject on average) were identified in 28 healthy Japanese subjects. We observed significant differences in the allele frequencies between ethnicities in 33 of the 403 miRNA-SNPs. The numbers of miRNA-SNPs per subject in 44 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 33 colorectal cancer (CRC), and 15 soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients were almost equal to those in healthy subjects. Significant differences in allele frequencies were observed for 14, 11, and 9 miRNA-SNPs in NSCLC, CRC, and STS patients compared with the frequencies in healthy subjects, suggesting that these SNPs can be biomarkers of risk for each type of cancer assessed. In summary, we comprehensively characterized miRNA-SNPs in Japanese individuals and found differences in allele frequencies of several miRNA-SNPs between ethnicities and between healthy subjects and cancer patients. Studies investigating a larger number of subjects should be performed to confirm the potential of miRNA-SNPs as biomarkers of cancer risk.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is one of the fourth most common gynecological malignancies and has been identified as the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded sequences of noncoding RNAs that are approximately 22-24 nucleotides in length. They modulate posttranscriptional mRNA expression and play critical roles in cervical cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA genes may alter miRNA expression and maturation and have been associated with various cancers. This review mainly focuses on the roles of SNPs in miRNA genes in the development of cervical cancer and summarizes the research progress of miRNA SNPs in cervical cancer and their molecular regulation mechanisms.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of highly conserved, short (18-25 nucleotide long) non-coding RNAs which play important functional roles in cellular differentiation, biological development, pathogenesis and disease susceptibility and have been linked to both tumorigenesis and the malignant progression of various cancers. miRNAs primarily exert their function through the negative regulation of their target gene's transcription via the specific recognition of their 3' untranslated region. A single miRNA can regulate multiple target genes and most miRNAs are controlled by several factors. Recent studies have shown that microRNA-149 (miR-149) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of digestive system cancers and may act as a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target. In this review, we summarize and discuss the most recent reports describing miR-149 in digestive system cancers, including its single nucleotide polymorphisms, expression levels, target genes, drug sensitivity and clinical significance.

Abstract
PURPOSE Research has shown that exposure to anesthesia might increase the risks of cognitive impairments and learning difficulties. MiR-125b-5p contributed to anesthesia-induced hippocampal apoptosis. However, the role of miR-125b-5p in sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairments remains unclear. METHODS Firstly, sevoflurane was used to establish a rat model and cognitive impairment was detected by the Morris water maze (MWM) test. The hippocampus was observed by HE staining. The lentivirus-miR-125b-5p antagomiR was transfected into rats to decrease miR-125b-5p. The interaction between miR-125b-5p and LIM domain kinase 1 (LIMK1) was confirmed by the luciferase reporter assay. The mRNA and expression levels of related genes and mRNA were examined by the Quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot. RESULTS Sevoflurane induced the cognitive dysfunction presenting with longer latency time and few platform crossings in rats. Moreover, miR-125b-5p was observed to be up-regulated in both sevoflurane-anesthesia rats and sevoflurane-treated SH-SY5Y cells. More importantly, a decrease in miR-125b-5p could prevent sevoflurane-induced hippocampal apoptosis and inflammation in rats. Moreover, LIMK1 was the target gene of miR-125b-5p. Interestingly, si-LIMK1 could restore the sevoflurane-induced cell apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells, which was alleviated by miR-125b-5p inhibitor. Finally, the miR-125b-5p inhibitor shortened the time to find the platform and increased the number of platform crossings compared to sevoflurane-anesthesia rats in the Morris water maze test. At the same time, the expression of LIMK1 was dramatically increased. CONCLUSION Altogether, these findings suggested that miR-125b-5p inhibitor could protect against the sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairments by targeting LIMK1.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The association of Vitamin D and children with asthma is known and there are several individual studies on Vitamin D polymorphisms. However, systematic reviews on all vitamin D associated gene polymorphisms have not been done in children with asthma. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of Vitamin D associated gene polymorphisms and asthma in children (0-18 years) by systematic review and meta-analytic approach. METHODS Our search included 20 full text articles of which 15 were case control studies and 5 used family based linkage disequilibrium method. Total of 2491cases and 3682 controls were included in case control studies, with mean age of 9.58 years and 10.16 years respectively. Quantitative and qualitative analysis were done. RESULTS Quantitative analysis revealed significant association with protective effect of Apa1 polymorphism in allele (OR 0.81 (0.71,0.91) and homozygous major form (OR 0.83 (0.70,0.98) and Taq 1 minor allele in homozygous form (OR 0.73 (0.58,0.92) in children with asthma. However, the minor allele of Apa1(OR 1.21 (1.07,1.37), Bsm 1 in heterozygous (OR 1.35 (1.07,1.71) and homozygous minor form (OR 1.95 (1.59,2.39), major allele of Fok1(OR1.34 (1.17,1.52) and Taq1 (OR 1.22 (1.08,1.38) were found to be increasing the odds of asthma. Ethnic variations were noted in subgroup analysis. Qualitative analysis of the polymorphisms of the Vitamin D associated metabolic genes also showed significant associations. CONCLUSION Our review shows significant associations with VDR polymorphisms - Apa1, Bsm1, Fok 1, Taq 1, polymorphisms of Vitamin D metabolic genes - CYP27A1, CYP 2R1, CYP 24A1, GC and genes related to Vitamin D response element (VDRE) in children with asthma. Conducting large studies involving various ethnic regions will strengthen our knowledge on the association and aid in targeted interventions for control of asthma in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM LncRNA plays a key role in tumor progression. HAGLR functions as an oncogene in many cancers. However, the molecular mechanism of HAGLR in colon cancer is still unclear. METHODS qRT-PCR was used to measure the expression of HAGLR, miR-185-5p in colon cancer. The expression of CDK4 and CDK6 was detected by Western blot. CCK-8 assay, EdU staining, transwell and Annexin V-FITC/PI assay were used to analyze the effect of HAGLR and miR-185-5p on cell proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis. Bioinformatic analysis and luciferase were used to analyze the target genes of HAGLR and miR-185-5p. Nude mice were used to detect mouse tumor changes. RESULTS Compared with normal colon cancer tissues and cells, the expression of HAGLR was increased in colon cancer tissues and cells. In addition, the expression of HAGLR down-regulation inhibited the growth, migration, and invasion of colon cancer cells. MiR-185-5p was reduced in colon cancer, and CDK4 and CDK6 acted as target genes of miR-185-5p to regulate the progress of colon cancer. And CDK4 and CDK6 were predicted as downstream targets of miR-185-5p. Finally, it was demonstrated that HAGLR regulated tumor progression in vivo. CONCLUSION Lnc HAGLR promoted the development of colon cancer by miR-185-5p/CDK4/CDK6 axis, and lnc HAGLR might be potential target for colon cancer.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of single-nucleotide variant n.60G>C (rs2910164) of microRNA (miR)-146a, related to suppressing of BRCA1/2 DNA repair protein, with the risk and survival of colorectal cancer patients, as well as miR-146a and BRCA1/2 levels and miR binding efficiency. The genotypes were identified in 125 colorectal cancer patients and 276 controls using TaqMan polymerase chain reaction assay. The miR-146a and BRCA1/2 levels were assessed by quantitative-polymerase chain reaction protocols. Primary precursor of miR-146a containing G (wild-type) and C (variant) allele were cloned into pcDNA.3.3 vector and co-transfected in HT-29 colorectal cancer cell line. Luciferase reporter assay was performed to assess miR-146a binding to BRCA2 3'-untranslated region in HT-29. The differences between groups were calculated using chi-square or Fisher's exact test, logistic regression, and Mann-Whitney test. The prognostic impact of single-nucleotide variant genotypes on overall survival was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier estimate and Cox regression. The GC or CC genotypes prevalence was similar in patients and controls (50.4% vs 50.7%, p = 0.74). However, patients with tumors in advanced stage with miR-146a GG genotype had 2.41 more chance of dying than GC or CC genotypes. In addition, tumor tissues of patients with GG genotype presented higher miR-146a (p = 0.02) and lower BRCA1 (p = 0.01) and BRCA2 (p < 0.0001) levels when compared to those with GC or CC genotypes. In fact, pcDNA.3.3-miR-146a-G presented increased binding capacity to the 3'-untranslated region of BRCA2 (p = 0.001) compared to pcDNA.3.3-miR-146a-C. In addition, the G allele altered the binding affinity between miR-146a and its BRCA2 3'-untranslated region target (p < 0.001), thus enhancing suppression of BRCA2 expression. Our results suggest that single-nucleotide variant rs2910164 does not influence the colorectal cancer risk in Brazilian patients; however, the GG genotype could act as a factor of worse prognosis in patients with advanced disease due to suppression of BRCA1/2 modulated by miR-146a.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs), short regulatory RNAs, function as negative regulators able to modulate gene expression. Just as other genetic variant, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA genes, may have an impact on their expression and/or maturation and hence leading to different consequences in carcinogenesis. Accordingly, this study aimed to assess the frequency of miR-146a G/C (rs2910164) polymorphism and its association with susceptibility to breast cancer in Iranian women. METHODS We conducted a case-control study using Tetra ARMS polymerase chain reaction (Tetra ARMS PCR) method in 100 Iranian female participants (50 breast cancer patients and 50 controls). Besides, a number of sequenced samples were chosen to confirm the accuracy of genotyping by Tetra ARMA PCR. SPSS software was utilized for all statistical analyses. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were applied to analyze the association between the SNP frequency and breast cancer. RESULTS The frequency of genotypes for G/G, G/C, and C/C were 23 (46%), 26 (52%), and 1 (2%) among cases and 15 (30%), 33 (66%), and 2(4%) among controls, respectively. The results generated by the groups did not show any significant correlation between miR-146a G/C (rs2910164) polymorphism and breast cancer, either at genotype or allele levels (P>0.05). F-SNP-based in silico analysis indicated possible modifications in transcriptional regulations induced by miR-146a G/C (rs2910164) variations. CONCLUSION Overall, our results indicated no correlation between miR-146a G/C (rs2910164) polymorphism and genetic susceptibility to breast cancer in Iranian female populations. However, these findings need to be further confirmed by analyses of a larger number of cases.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, non-coding class of RNAs with functions in the regulation of genes expressions. Dysregulated expressions of miRNAs play important roles in carcinogenesis and cancer progression by targeting various oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes. miRNAs represent a new field for molecular diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) due to their high tissue specificity, their stability, and their dysregulated expression in tumor development.This study aimed to investigate using the qRT-PCR method the expression profile and prognostic value of 11 mature miRNAs in a cohort of 82 Romanian patients diagnosed with CRC. The relationship between the expression levels of selected miRNAs and clinicopathologic features were evaluated using ANOVA and Pearson test. In addition, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC) were used to assess the diagnostic values of the miRNAs to discriminate cancerous from non-cancerous states of the samples.The expression levels of miR-30c, miR-144, miR-375, miR-214, and miR-195 in CRC tissue were significantly downregulated (all P < .05; Paired T-Test) than that in normal adjacent tissue sample (NATS), while the expression of miR-141, miR-182, miR-183, miR-21, and miR-370 in CRC tissue were significantly upregulated (all P < .001) than that in NATS. Moreover, the expression levels of miR-182, miR-183, miR-141, and miR-21 were demonstrated to be associated with a gradual increase in fold change expression with depth of tumor invasion (all P < .05), lymph node invasion (all P < .001), and maximal increase with distant metastasis (all P < .001). Moreover, the analysis of ROC curves revealed that AUC (95% CI) of miR-182, miR-183, miR-141, and miR-21 in diagnosis of CRC was 0.76 (0.66-0.87), 0.85 (0.78-0.94), 0.77 (0.62-0.92), 0.83 (0.73-0.90), respectively. The univariate and multivariate Cox-proportional hazard regression for all variables revealed that the nodal status, distant metastasis, miR-21, miR-141, miR-182, and miR-183 were independent prognostic markers of CRC.In conclusion, altered expressions of miR-21, miR-141, miR-182, and miR-183 in CRC varies at different stages of CRC development and may serve as potential diagnosis molecular biomarkers in Romanian patients with CRC. Further investigations are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are important class of short regulatory RNA molecules involved in regulation of several essential biological processes. In addition to Dicer and Drosha, over the past few years several other gene products are discovered that regulates miRNA biogenesis pathways. Similarly, various models of molecular mechanisms underlying miRNA mediated gene silencing have been uncovered through which miRNA contribute in diverse physiological and pathological processes. Dysregulated miRNA expression has been reported in many cancers manifesting tumor suppressive or oncogenic role. In this review, critical overview of recent findings in miRNA biogenesis, silencing mechanisms and specifically the role of miRNA in breast, ovarian and prostate cancer will be described. Recent advancements in miRNA research summarized in this review will enhance the molecular understanding of miRNA biogenesis and mechanism of action. Also, role of miRNAs in pathogenesis of breast, ovarian and prostate cancer will provide the insights for the use of miRNAs as biomarker or therapeutic agents for the cancers.

Abstract
Aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) may contribute to the initiation and development of multiple types of human cancer. Several miRNAs have been found to be strongly correlated with the diagnosis, progression, and prognosis of colorectal carcinoma (CRC), but the role of miR‐125a in CRC remains unclear. In the present study, the function of miR‐125a on the expression of Smad ubiquitin regulatory factor 1 (Smurf1) was investigated in vitro and in vivo. We verified that Smurf1 is a downstream target gene of miR‐125a and is involved in miR‐125a‐mediated regulation of CT26 cell (colon cancer cell) proliferation and migration. Overexpression of miR‐125a suppresses CT26 cell growth by inhibiting cell proliferation. Additionally, wound healing assays were performed to show that overexpression of miR‐125a significantly reduced CT26 cell migration, which was reversed by overexpression of Smurf1. In vivo, miR‐125a overexpression downregulated the expression of Ki67 and Smurf1, thus leading to a marked reduction in tumor growth. These results revealed that miR‐125a plays a critical role in CRC by directly targeting Smurf1, a finding that may facilitate the development of improved diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for CRC.

Abstract
Aim: To analyze gene expression and copy number of five miRNAs (miR-1204, miR-1205, miR-1206, miR-1207 and miR-1208) localized in this chromosome region in gastric cancer (GC). Materials & methods: 65 paired neoplastic and non-neoplastic specimens collected from GC patients and 20 non-neoplastic gastric tissues from cancer-free individuals were included in this study. The expression levels of the five miRNAs were accessed by real time qPCR and were correlated. Results: MiR-1207-3p, miR-1205, miR-1207-5p and miR-1208 were upregulated in approximately 50% of GC tumors in relation to those of adjacent non-neoplastic tissues. MiR-1205 expression was associated with gain of gene copies and was upregulated in adjacent non-neoplastic samples relative to external controls. Conclusion: The coexpression of the 8q24 miRNAs indicated the role of miR-1205 in the initiation of gastric cancer development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the past decade, miR-100, miR-146a, and miR-210 were reported to be dysregulated in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, effects of genetic variants in these three microRNAs have not been investigated in Chinese population. METHODS In this study, we conducted a case-control study to evaluate the relationship between genetic variants in miR-100, miR-146a, and miR-210 and the risk of childhood ALL in Chinese population. Subsequently, plasma expression level of miR-100 was also detected. RESULT We found that subjects carrying mutant homozygous TT genotype of miR-100 rs543412 had a statistically significantly decreased risk of childhood ALL (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.55-0.97, P = 0.029). This protective effect was also observed among subjects whose parents were ever drinkers (adjusted OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.29-0.94), or whose living house were ever painted (adjusted OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.34-0.94). Besides, rs543412 variant homozygous TT had a significantly protective role in patients with childhood B-ALL. Finally, we found that expression level of miR-100 in plasma of childhood ALL cases was significantly higher than that of noncancer controls. CONCLUSION Our study suggested that there was significant association between the polymorphisms in miR-100 (rs543412) and decreased susceptibility to childhood ALL.

Abstract
Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that functional dysregulations of miRNAs, especially miR-196a-2 and miR-149, in cancers could be attributed to polymorphisms in miRNA sequences. This study was aimed at clarifying the association of mir-196a-2 rs11614913 and mir-149 rs2292832 with cancer risk by performing an updated meta-analysis of genetic association studies. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases were searched until 9 April 2018 to identify eligible studies. Studies should meet the following criteria to be included in the meta-analysis: evaluation of genetic association between rs11614913 and/or rs2292832 and susceptibility to cancer; A case-control design; Written in English; Availability of sufficient data for estimating odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Studies that met the following criteria were excluded: review articles, meta-analysis, abstracts or conference papers; duplicate publications; studies on animals or cell-lines; studies without a case-control design; studies that did not report genotype frequencies. Pooled ORs and 95% CIs were estimated using a total of 111 studies (41,673 cases and 49,570 controls) for mir-196a rs11614913 and 44 studies (15,954 cases and 19,594 controls) for mir-149 rs2292832. Stratified analysis according to quality scores, genotyping method, ethnicity, broad cancer category and cancer type was also performed. Results: Mir-196a-2 rs11614913 T allele was associated with decreased cancer risk in overall population. The association was only significant in Asians but not Caucasians. In subgroup analysis, significant associations were found in high quality studies, gynecological cancers, ovarian, breast, and hepatocellular cancer. Mir-149 rs2292832 was not associated with cancer risk in overall population and there were no differences between Asians and Caucasians. However, the T allele was associated with a decrease risk of gastrointestinal tract cancers under the heterozygote model and an increased risk of colorectal cancer under the recessive model. Conclusions: The present meta-analysis suggests that mir-196a-2 rs11614913 may contribute to the risk of cancer especially in Asians. Mir-149 rs2292832 may modulate the risk of gastrointestinal tract cancers especially colorectal cancer. This study had some limitations such as significant heterogeneity in most contrasts, limited number of studies enrolling Africans or Caucasians ancestry and lack of adjustment for covariates and environmental interactions.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that aberrantly expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the initiation and progression of numerous types of human cancer. Although a number of miRNAs have been demonstrated to be associated with the diagnosis, progression and prognosis of colon cancer, the function of miRNA‑101 (miR‑101) in colon cancer remains unclear, and the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of miR‑101 in colon cancer require further investigation. The present study investigated the role of miR‑101 in colon cancer, and the results suggested that miR‑101 expression levels were significantly decreased in colorectal carcinoma tissues and in three types of colorectal cancer cell lines. Furthermore, overexpression of miR‑101 inhibited cell proliferation and migration in HT29 cells. The transcription factor cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1) was identified to be a direct target of miR‑101 using a luciferase reporter assay, reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis and western blot assay. miR‑101 overexpression in tumor xenografts in vivo decreased the expression levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and CREB1, and suppressed tumor growth. The present results suggested that miR‑101 may serve a role in colon cancer by directly targeting CREB1. Collectively, the present study may contribute to the development of improved diagnosis and prognostics for colon cancer.

Abstract
Recently extensive focus has been concentrated on the role of miRNAs in the initiation and progression of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCDs) which constitute a range of conditions including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs, especially coronary artery disease (CAD)), congenital heart disease (CHD) and cerebrovascular diseases (CBVDs, especially the ischemic stroke (IS)). An increasing number of studies are evaluating the association between different miRNA polymorphisms and risk of CCDs, but results have been inconclusive. This study represents a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between miRNA polymorphisms and risk of CCDs. PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science were queried to identify eligible articles. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were used to assess the association of miRNA polymorphisms with CCD susceptibility. A total of 51 eligible articles evaluating the association of 31 miRNA polymorphisms were identified. Meta-analysis was performed for six miRNA polymorphisms. miR-146a rs2910164 (30 studies: 13,186 cases/14,497 controls), miR-149 rs2292832 (Nine studies: 4116 cases/3511 controls), miR-149 rs71428439 (Three studies: 1556 cases/1567 controls), miR-196a2 rs11614913 (20 studies: 10,144 cases/10,433 controls), miR-218 rs11134527 (Three studies: 2,322 cases/2,754 controls) were not associated with overall CCD. miR-499 rs3746444 was associated with CCD (20 studies: 9564 cases/8876 controls). In the subgroups, rs2910164 and rs3746444 were only associated with CVDs, especially CAD. In conclusion, the results support the existence of a role for miR-146a rs2910164 and miR-499 rs3746444 in determining susceptibility to CCDs, especially CAD.

Abstract
As important epigenetic regulators, microRNA regulate protein expression by triggering the degradation of target mRNA and/or by inhibiting their translation. Dysregulation of microRNA expression has been reported in several cancers, including colorectal cancer. In this study, microRNA-array differential analysis revealed strongly enhanced expression of miR-24-1-5p in the colon tissue of azoxymethane/dextran sulphate sodium-induced mice that were fed with black raspberry anthocyanins for 9 weeks. Overexpression of miR-24-1-5p in human colorectal cancer cells significantly repressed β-catenin expression, and simultaneously decreased cell proliferation, migration and survival. Furthermore, miR-24-1-5p could target β-catenin and trigger a negative regulatory loop for β-catenin and its downstream target genes. β-Catenin signalling is vital to the formation and progression of human colorectal cancer. The current findings therefore identified miR-24-1-5p as a potent regulator of β-catenin, and this may provide a novel chemopreventive and therapeutic strategy for β-catenin signalling-driven colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Background: Accumulating studies have focused on the relationship between miRNAs polymorphisms and cancer prognosis. However, the results are conflicting and unconvincing. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between miRNAs polymorphisms and cancer prognosis, aiming to seek for markers with cancer prognostic function. Methods: Hazard ratio of overall survival, disease-free survival (DFS) and recurrence-free survival were calculated to evaluate the association between miRNAs polymorphisms and cancer prognosis by using Stata software 11.0. Results: We systematically reviewed the association of 17 miRNAs SNPs with cancer prognosis including 24,721 samples. It was shown that 6 miRNAs SNPs (miR-608 rs4919510, miR-492 rs2289030, miR-378 rs1076064, miR-499 rs4919510, miR-149 rs2292832, miR-196a2 rs11614913) were associated with better cancer overall survival (OS) while let-7i rs10877887 was associated with poor OS; the homozygous and heterozygote genotype of miR-423 were related to poor cancer relapse-free survival (RFS) when compared with the wild genotype; miR-146 rs2910164 was linked to favorable cancer DFS while miR-196a2 rs11614913 was associated with poor DFS. Conclusions: In summary, let-7i rs10877887, miR-608 rs4919510, miR-492 rs2289030, miR-378 rs1076064, miR-423 rs6505162, miR-499 rs4919510, miR-149 rs2292832, miR-146 rs2910164, and miR-196a2 rs11614913 might serve as potential biomarkers for cancer prognosis.

Variants in the 14q32 miRNA cluster are associated with osteosarcoma risk in the Spanish population. Sci Rep 2018; 8:15414.

Abstract
Association studies in osteosarcoma risk found significant results in intergenic regions, suggesting that regions which do not codify for proteins could play an important role. The deregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been already associated with osteosarcoma. Consequently, genetic variants affecting miRNA function could be associated with risk. This study aimed to evaluate the involvement of all genetic variants in pre-miRNAs described so far in relationship to the risk of osteosarcoma. We analyzed a total of 213 genetic variants in 206 pre-miRNAs in two cohorts of osteosarcoma patients (n = 100) and their corresponding controls (n = 256) from Spanish and Slovenian populations, using Goldengate Veracode technology (Illumina). Four polymorphisms in pre-miRNAs at 14q32 miRNA cluster were associated with osteosarcoma risk in the Spanish population (rs12894467, rs61992671, rs58834075 and rs12879262). Pathway enrichment analysis including target genes of these miRNAs pointed out the WNT signaling pathways overrepresented. Moreover, different single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) effects between the two populations included were observed, suggesting the existence of population differences. In conclusion, 14q32 miRNA cluster seems to be a hotspot for osteosarcoma susceptibility in the Spanish population, but not in the Slovenian, which supports the idea of the existence of population differences in developing this disease.

Genetic Variants in pre-miR-146a, pre-miR-499, pre-miR-125a, pre-miR-605, and pri-miR-182 Are Associated with Breast Cancer Susceptibility in a South American Population. Genes (Basel) 2018; 9:genes9090427.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most frequent tumors affecting women worldwide. microRNAs (miRNAs) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) likely contribute to BC susceptibility. We evaluated the association of five SNPs with BC risk in non-carriers of the BRCA1/2-mutation from a South American population. The SNPs were genotyped in 440 Chilean BRCA1/2-negative BC cases and 1048 controls. Our data do not support an association between rs2910164:G>C or rs3746444:A>G and BC risk. The rs12975333:G>T is monomorphic in the Chilean population. The pre-miR-605 rs2043556-C allele was associated with a decreased risk of BC, both in patients with a strong family history of BC and in early-onset non-familial BC (Odds ratio (OR) = 0.5 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.4⁻0.9] p = 0.006 and OR = 0.6 [95% CI 0.5⁻0.9] p = 0.02, respectively). The rs4541843-T allele is associated with increased risk of familial BC. This is the first association study on rs4541843 and BC risk. Previously, we showed that the TOX3-rs3803662:C>T was significantly associated with increased risk of familial BC. Given that TOX3 mRNA is a target of miR-182, and that both the TOX3 rs3803662-T and pri-miR-182 rs4541843-T alleles are associated with increased BC risk, we evaluated their combined effect. Risk of familial BC increased in a dose-dependent manner with the number of risk alleles (p-trend = 0.0005), indicating an additive effect.

Abstract
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that play critical roles in the regulatory mechanisms involving cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and tumorigenesis. Recent research efforts have been conducted to apply these discoveries into clinical functions, including the early diagnosis and therapeutic outcome of patients with cancer. Previous studies have shown that microRNA-149 (miR-149) is dysregulated in various human cancers and exerts its effects on tumorigenesis and tumour progression. In this review, we summarized the potential roles of miR-149 dysregulation and its target genes during tumorigenesis and clinical treatment of human cancers.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of our study was to analyze association of miRNAs 146aG/C(2910164) and 196a2C/T(11614913) polymorphism with breast cancer (BC) risk for women of Azeri ethnicity in Iran. MATERIALS & METHODS In the current case (n = 200)-control (n = 200) study, miRNAs 146aG/C(2910164) and 196a2C/T(11614913) were investigated for allelic and genotypic levels via the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. RESULTS The statistical analysis showed a significant relation between CC genotype of rs11614913(196a2) (codominant, odds ratio (OR) = 0.58, p = 0.02236; recessive, OR = 2.92, p = 0.01695; overdominant, OR = 0.44, p = 0.0113) and BC susceptibility. The subgroup analysis of mentioned polymorphism declared the significant correlation (p ≤ 0.05) of the positive abortion, regular menstruation, positive human epidermal receptor-2 and positive estrogen receptor with BC susceptibility in CC genotype. CONCLUSION The existence of a C-allele at miRNA 196a2(11614913) elevates women's BC susceptibility in Azeri ethnicity in Iran.

Abstract
Glioma has been considered as one of the most prevalent and common malignancy of the nervous system; however, the underlying mechanisms that are responsible for the occurrence and development of glioma still remain largely unknown. Amounting evidence highlights the critical regulatory function of miRNAs in carcinogenesis. Here, we showed that the expression of miR-150-3p was significantly decreased in glioma tissues and cell lines. Suppressed expression of miR-150-3p was associated with the lymph node metastasis of the glioma patients. Overexpression of miR-150-3p significantly inhibited the proliferation of glioma cells. Molecular study uncovered that the transcription factor specificity protein 1 (SP1) was identified as one of the targets of miR-150-3p Highly expressed miR-150-3p in glioma cells significantly decreased both the mRNA and protein levels of SP1. Consistently, the abundance of phosphatase and tension homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN), a negative downstream target of SP1, was increased with the ectopic miR-150-3p Collectively, these results suggested that miR-150-3p suppressed the growth of glioma cells partially via regulating SP1 and possibly PTEN.

Abstract
Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the most common form of laryngeal carcinoma with poor prognosis. Exploring novel factors involved in the progression of LSCC is quite necessary for understanding the mechanisms and designing therapeutic strategies for LSCC. In this study, we showed that miR-125b-5p was significantly down-regulated in LSCC tissues and cell lines. The decreased expression of miR-125b-5p was associated with the tumor differentiation, metastasis and high clinical stage of the LSCC patients. Overexpression of miR-125b-5p suppressed the proliferation and induced apoptosis of LSCC cells. Bioinformatics analysis predicted hexokinase-2 (HK2), an essential enzyme involved in the glycolysis of cancer cells, as one of the downstream targets of miR-125b-5p. Further molecular studies showed that highly expressed miR-125b-5p bound the 3'-UTR of HK2 and decreased both the mRNA and protein levels of HK2. Consistent with the function of HK2 in glycolytic metabolism, overexpression of miR-125b-5p significantly suppressed the glucose consumption and lactate production of LSCC cells. Notably, restoration the expression of HK2 attenuated the inhibitory effect of miR-125b-5p on the glycolysis of LSCC cells. The inverse correlation between the expression of miR-125b-5p and HK2 in LSCC tissues further supported the involvement of miR-125b-5p-HK2 axis in the progression of LSCC. Collectively, these finding suggested the miR-125b-5p-HK2 pathway as a novel mechanism in regulating the glycolysis and progression of LSCC.

Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children. Numerous studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) could play a role in this disease. Nowadays, more than 2500 miRNAs have been described, that regulate more than 50% of genes, including those involved in B-cell maturation, differentiation and proliferation. Genetic variants in miRNAs can alter their own levels or function, affecting their target gene expression, and then, may affect ALL risk. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the role of miRNA genetic variants in B-ALL susceptibility. We analyzed all variants in pre-miRNAs (MAF > 1%) in two independent cohorts from Spain and Slovenia and inferred their functional effect by in silico analysis. SNPs rs12402181 in miR-3117 and rs62571442 in miR-3689d2 were associated with ALL risk in both cohorts, possibly through their effect on MAPK signalling pathway. These SNPs could be novel markers for ALL susceptibility.

Abstract
Depression has been well established as an independent predictor of mortality and cardiac morbidity rates in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Evidence has shown that single nucleotide polymorphisms located in pre‑microRNA (miRNA) or mature miRNA may modify various biological processes and affect the process of carcinogenesis, and the downregulation of neuronal nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS1) can induce depression. It has been shown that NOS1 is the target gene of miR‑146a, and that the rs2910164 G/C polymorphism can downregulate the expression of miR‑146a. In the present study, computational analysis was used to identify the target of miR‑146a, and a luciferase reporter assay system was used to validate NOS1 as a target gene of miR‑146a. In addition, U251 cells were treated with miR‑146a mimics/inhibitors to verify the negative regulatory association between miR‑146a and NOS1. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis and western blot analysis were used to estimate the mRNA expression of NOS1 and the expression of miR‑146a. The results showed that the 'seed sequence' was located within the 3'‑untranslated region of NOS1 by searching an online miRNA database (www.mirdb.org), and the luciferase reporter assay confirmed that NOS1 was a direct target gene of miR‑146a. It was also found that the mRNA and protein expression levels of NOS1 in U251 cells treated with miR‑146a mimics and NOS1 small interfering RNA were substantially downregulated, compared with cells treated with the scramble control. The cells treated with miR‑146a inhibitors showed increased expression of NOS1. In addition, the presence of a minor allele of the rs2910164 polymorphism was significantly associated with risk of depression in patients with CAD. Taken together, the findings indicated a decreased risk of depression in the patients with CAD who were carriers of the miR‑146a rs2910164 C allele, and this association may be attributed to its ability to compromise the expression of miR‑146a, and thereby increase the expression of its target gene, NOS1.

Abstract
The genetics of melanoma is complex and, in addition to environmental influences, numerous genes are involved or contribute toward melanoma predisposition. In this study, we evaluated the possible interaction between miR-146a and one of its putative targets ribonuclease L (RNASEL) in the risk of sporadic melanoma. Polymorphisms rs2910164 in miR-146a and rs486907 in the RNASEL gene have both independently been associated with the risk of different cancers, and an interaction between them has been observed in nonmelanoma skin cancer. Polymorphisms rs2910164 G/C and rs486907 A/G were genotyped by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis in 304 sporadic melanoma patients and 314 control individuals. Genotype distribution between cases and controls for each of the two polymorphisms was compared using Fisher's exact test. Epistasis between the two polymorphisms was tested by a logistic regression model. In the present study, we observed a sex-specific effect of the miR-146a rs2910164 C allele restricted to individuals carrying the RNASEL rs486907 A allele as well. Men carrying this allelic combination have the highest risk of melanoma, whereas it seems to have no effect or even an opposite relationship to melanoma risk in the female population. The results reported in the present study suggest a sex-specific interaction between miR-146a and RNASEL genes in melanoma skin cancer susceptibility, and could account for possible discordant results in association studies when stratification according to sex is not performed.

Abstract
Two recent meta-analyses have been conducted on the relationship between miR-146a polymorphism (rs2910164) and head and neck cancer (HNC) risk. However, they have yielded conflicting results. Hence, the aim of the present study was to conduct a quantitative updated meta-analysis addressing this subject. Eligible studies up to Sep 2016 were retrieved and screened from the bio-databases and then essential data were extracted for data analysis. Next, subgroup analyses on ethnicity, source of controls, sample size, and genotyping method were also carried out. As a result, a total of 9 publications involving 10 independent case-control studies were included. The overall data indicated a significant association between miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphism and HNC risk [C vs. G: odds ratio (OR) = 1.14; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.00-1.31; CC+CG vs. GG: OR=1.21; 95%CI=1.02-1.43]. Variant alleles of miR-146a rs2910164 may have a correlation with increased HNC risk. Future well-designed studies containing large sample sizes are needed to verify this result.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play important roles in a variety of biological processes. Dysregulation of miRNAs is tightly associated with the malignancy of cancers. Aberrant expression of miR-378 has been observed in human cancers; however, the function of miR-378 in osteosarcoma (OS) remains largely unknown. Here, we showed that miR-378 was highly expressed in human OS tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of miR-378 significantly promoted the cell proliferation of OS cells. Molecular studies identified Kruppel-like factor-9 (KLF9) as a functional downstream target of miR-378. MiR-378 directly bound to the mRNA 3'-UTR region of KLF9 and suppressed the expression of KLF9. Highly expressed KLF9 reversed the promoting effect of miR-378 on the proliferation of OS cells. The expression level of miR-378 was negatively correlated with that of KLF9 in OS tissues. Collectively, our results demonstrated the molecular interaction between miR-378 and KLF9, indicating the therapeutic potential of miR-378 for OS.

Abstract
Aberrant miRNA expression has been reported in endometriosis and miRNA gene polymorphisms have been linked to cancer. Because certain ovarian cancers arise from endometriosis, we genotyped seven cancer-related miRNA single nucleotide polymorphisms (MiRSNPs) to investigate their possible roles in endometriosis. Genetic variants in MIR196A2 (rs11614913) and MIR100 (rs1834306) were found to be associated with endometriosis development and related clinical phenotypes, such as infertility and pain. Downstream analysis of the MIR196A2 risk allele revealed upregulation of rRNA editing and protein synthesis genes, suggesting hyper-activation of ribosome biogenesis as a driving force for endometriosis progression. Clinical studies confirmed higher levels of small nucleolar RNAs and ribosomal proteins in atypical endometriosis lesions, and this was more pronounced in the associated ovarian clear cell carcinomas. Treating ovarian clear cells with CX5461, an RNA polymerase I inhibitor, suppressed cell growth and mobility followed by cell cycle arrest at G2/M stage and apoptosis. Our study thus uncovered a novel tumorigenesis pathway triggered by the cancer-related MIR196A2 risk allele during endometriosis development and progression. We suggest that anti-RNA polymerase I therapy may be efficacious for treating endometriosis and associated malignancies.

Abstract
Sevoflurane is a commonly used inhalation anesthetic. Sevoflurane-induced neuroapoptosis and cognitive impairments in animals are widely reported, however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. The results of the present study demonstrated that sevoflurane anesthesia induced spatial memory impairments in rats, as determined by the Morris water maze test. Mechanistically, the current study demonstrated that sevoflurane administration significantly enhanced the expression of microRNA (miR)-188-3p. Furthermore, inhibition of miR-188-3p using lentiviral miR-188-3p inhibitors attenuated sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairments in rats. The present study also demonstrated that miR-188-3p targeted MDM2 proto-oncogene (MDM2) and negatively regulated the expression of MDM2, as determined by luciferase assays, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. Furthermore, decreased abundance of MDM2 following transfection with miR-188-3p mimics was associated with increased stability of p53 protein. Suppression of p53 activity using the specific p53 inhibitor pifithrin-α alleviated sevoflurane-induced neuroapoptosis. These results indicate that the miR-188-3p-MDM2-p53 axis may have a critical role in sevoflurane-induced cognitive dysfunction. Therefore, miR-188-3p may be a potential target for the treatment of sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairment.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the role of microRNA-96 (miR-96) in the proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of bladder cancer cell lines, and the associated mechanisms. The expression of miR-96 and human ether-à-go-go-related (HERG1) potassium channel in the normal uroepithelium SV-HUC-1 cell line, and bladder cancer T24 and 5637 cell lines were examined using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction or/and western blotting. Transfection with miR-96 inhibitor or scrambled control (SC) was used to study the biological activities of miR-96 in bladder cancer cell lines. MTT, flow cytometric and Transwell assays were applied to detect cell viability, apoptosis and invasion, respectively. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was applied to determine the association between miR-96 and HERG1 expression. As demonstrated, miR-96 was highly expressed in the two bladder cancer cell lines, particularly in T24 cells. Following transfection with miR-96 inhibitor, miR-96 expression was significantly reduced in the T24 cell line, compared with SC. The miR-96 inhibitor suppressed cell proliferation and invasion, promoted apoptosis and arrested the cell cycle at the G1 phase. Consistently, HERG1 was also highly expressed in the two bladder cancer cell lines at the mRNA and protein level, but not in the normal uroepithelium cell line. The miR-96 inhibitor also significantly decreased HERG1 expression compared with SC. The results of the dual-luciferase reporter assay indicated that miR-96 directly targeted wild-type HERG1. In conclusion, miR-96 inhibitor exhibited anticancer effects on bladder cancer cells by inhibiting proliferation and invasion of cells, and promoting their apoptosis. HERG1 was an important target of miR-96. These results provided experimental evidence supporting miR-96 as a therapeutic target for patients with bladder cancer.

Abstract
Aberrant expression of miRNAs has been observed in a variety of human cancers. In this study, we reported that miR-564 was down-regulated in human osteosarcoma (OS) cell lines and patients. Overexpression of miR-564 in OS cells suppressed the cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, we identified Akt as a direct target of miR-564. Highly expressed miR-564 decreased the expression of Akt at both mRNA and protein level and consequently, inhibited the essential role of Akt in the glycolysis of OS cells. Notably, restoring the expression of Akt in miR-564 overexpressing cells recovered the glucose metabolism and cell growth. These results suggested that miR-564 inhibited the glycolysis and cell proliferation through directly targeting Akt, which highlighted the potential application of miR-564-Akt axis in the treatment of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Long non‑coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 has been suggested to serve important roles in the progression of gastric cancer (GC); however, the mechanism involved is largely unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism underlying the effect of H19 on human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) expression. Let‑7c belongs to the let‑7 family, which has been reported to be downregulated in cancers and considered to serve as a tumor suppressor. Let‑7c has been negatively associated with the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to examine the expression levels of H19 and let‑7c in GC tissues and cell lines. HER2 protein expression levels were examined using immunohistochemistry and western blot analyses. The effect of H19 on let‑7c and HER2 expression was analyzed following transfection of small interfering RNA targeting H19 in GC cells. The results indicated that the expression levels of H19 lncRNA in GC tissue samples were significantly higher when compared with that in matched benign adjacent tissue samples (P<0.001). H19‑silenced GC cells exhibited significantly increased let‑7c expression and decreased HER2 protein expression levels. Assessment of tumor diameter and pathological tumor stage suggested that increased H19 expression was associated with a poorer prognosis in patients with GC. The results of the present study suggest that H19 may function as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate HER2 expression by sequestering let‑7c in GC cells. The present study has aided the understanding of the mechanism of H19 lncRNA in GC, and has provided evidence for the application of lncRNA‑based diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for GC.

Abstract
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules, which participate in diverse biological processes and may regulate tumor suppressor genes or oncogenes. Rs11614913 in miR-196a2 and rs3746444 in miR-499 are shown to associate with increased/decreased cancer risk. This meta-analysis was performed to systematically assess the overall association. Materials and Methods We searched Pubmed, Web of Knowledge, EMBASE, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases until December 2016 to identify eligible studies. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate the strength of the associations. Results We assessed published studies of the association between these microRNA polymorphisms and cancer risk from 56 studies with 21958/26436 cases/controls for miR-196a2 and from 37 studies with 13759/17946 cases/controls for miR-499. The results demonstrated that miR-196a2 rs11614913 was significantly associated with a decreased cancer risk, in particular with a decreased risk for colorectal cancer and gastric cancer, or for Asian population subgroup. In addition, miR-499 rs3746444 polymorphism was observed as a risk factor for cancers, in particular, for breast cancer, or for in the Asian population. Conclusions Our meta-analysis suggests that the rs11614913 most likely contributes to decreased susceptibility to cancer, especially in Asians and colorectal cancer and gastric cancer, and that the rs3746444 may increase risk for cancer. Furthermore, more well-designed studies with large sample size are still necessary to further elucidate the association between polymorphisms and different kinds of cancers risk.

Abstract
The screening and diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) currently relies heavily on invasive endoscopic techniques as well as imaging and antigen detection tools. More accessible and reliable biomarkers are necessary for early detection in order to expedite treatment and improve patient outcomes. Recent studies have indicated that levels of specific microRNA (miRNA) are altered in CRC; however, measuring miRNA in biological samples has proven difficult, given the complicated and lengthy PCR-based procedures used by most laboratories. In this manuscript, we examine the potential of miRNA as CRC biomarkers, summarize the methods that have commonly been employed to quantify miRNA, and focus on novel strategies that can improve or replace existing technology for feasible implementation in a clinical setting. These include isothermal amplification techniques that can potentially eliminate the need for specialized thermocycling equipment. Additionally, we propose the use of near-infrared (NIR) probes which can minimize autofluorescence and photobleaching and streamline quantification without tedious sample processing. We suggest that novel miRNA quantification tools will be necessary to encourage new discoveries and facilitate their translation to clinical practice.

Abstract
A unique feature of bioactive food ingredients is their broad antioxidant function. Antioxidants having a wide spectrum of chemical structure and activity beyond basic nutrition; display different health benefits by the prevention and progression of chronic diseases. Functional food components are capable of enhancing the natural antioxidant defense system by scavenging reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, protecting and repairing DNA damage, as well as modulating the signal transduction pathways and gene expression. Major pathways affected by bioactive food ingredients include the pro-inflammatory pathways regulated by nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), as well as those associated with cytokines and chemokines. The present review summarizes the importance of plant bioactives and their roles in the regulation of inflammatory pathways. Bioactives influence several physiological processes such as gene expression, cell cycle regulation, cell proliferation, cell migration, etc., resulting in cancer prevention. Cancer initiation is associated with changes in metabolic pathways such as glucose metabolism, and the effect of bioactives in normalizing this process has been provided. Initiation and progression of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) which increase the chances of developing of colorectal cancers can be downregulated by plant bioactives. Several aspects of the potential roles of microRNAs and epigenetic modifications in the development of cancers have also been presented.
