Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer includes many cancer types, such as esophageal, liver, gastric, pancreatic, and colorectal cancer. As the cornerstone of personalized medicine for GI cancer, liquid biopsy based on noninvasive biomarkers provides promising opportunities for early diagnosis and dynamic treatment management. Recently, a growing number of studies have demonstrated the potential of cell-free RNA (cfRNA) as a new type of noninvasive biomarker in body fluids, such as blood, saliva, and urine. Meanwhile, transcriptomes based on high-throughput RNA detection technologies keep discovering new cfRNA biomarkers. In this review, we introduce the origins and applications of cfRNA, describe its detection and qualification methods in liquid biopsy, and summarize a comprehensive list of cfRNA biomarkers in different GI cancer types. Moreover, we also discuss perspective studies of cfRNA to overcome its current limitations in clinical applications. This article is categorized under: RNA in Disease and Development > RNA in Disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal malignant diseases. We conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis to explore the clinical applicability of circulating microRNA for the diagnosis of EC. METHODS as of September 10, 2021, a comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Wanfang Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) to identify eligible studies. The sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and area under the curve (AUC) were pooled to evaluate the test performance. The potential sources of heterogeneity were analyzed by subgroup analysis. Deeks' funnel plot was used to assess publication bias. RESULTS 85 studies from 50 articles were included in the current meta-analysis. The overall pooled sensitivity was 0.82 (95 % CI, 0.79-0.84), specificity was 0.84 (95 % CI, 0.81-0.86), PLR was 4.9 (95 % CI, 4.2-5.9), NLR was 0.22 (95 % CI, 0.19-0.25), DOR was 22 (95 % CI, 17-29) and AUC was 0.89 (95 % CI, 0.86-0.92), respectively. Subgroup analysis suggested that miRNA clusters with a large sample size showed better diagnostic accuracy. Publication bias was not found. CONCLUSIONS circulating miRNAs can be used as a potential non-invasive biomarker for the diagnosis of EC in Asian populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomarkers, such as microRNAs, are helpful in diagnosing colorectal cancer, regulating disease progression, predicting disease recurrence, and determining therapy success. This research aimed to look at the clinicopathological characteristics of serum miRNA-203a-3p expression in colorectal cancer patients. METHODS AND RESULTS This case-control study was conducted on 43 patients with colorectal cancer and 43 healthy individuals. After RNA extraction, cDNA was synthesized. The expression of miR-203a-3p was measured using RT-qPCR. Demographic and histochemical data were extracted from patient documents. SPSS and GraphPad Prism software were used to analyze the data. The expression of miR-203a-3p in CRC patients was 2.39 times lower than in the control group (p < 0.0001). The miR-203a-3p expression was significantly lower in the CRC tumor stages, tumor grades, and lymph node metastasis compared to the control group (p < 0.0001 each). The ROC curves showed that the AUC was 0.73, and the best cut-point based on the Youden index was 0.3954, 0.7105, 0.5087, and 0.4868 for detecting colorectal cancer (p = 0.0002), tumor grade (p = 0.006), tumor stage (p = 0.001), and lymph node metastasis (p = 0.0011) compared to the control group, respectively. The binary logistic regression analysis was performed on the correlation between BMI, smoking, and cancer inheritance with miR-203a-3p in cancer and control groups. CONCLUSION This study's findings revealed that serum miR-203a-3p is a fair non-invasive molecular biomarker for diagnosing and progressing tumor grade, tumor stage, and lymph node metastasis in colorectal cancer. However, further research with higher statistical numbers is needed to strengthen the correlation and be used for diagnostic applications.

Abstract
To explore the role of the miRNA-1297/phospholipase Cβ1 (PLCβ1) axis in intestinal barrier injury. Abnormally expressed miR-1297 and its target gene PLCβ1 as well as their transcriptome sequencing were confirmed by bioinformatics analysis. Next, the intestinal barrier injury was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the CCCHIE-2 cells. Subsequently, the impacts of miR-1297 and PLCβ1 on the transcriptome were estimated. QRT-PCR and Western blotting were conducted to detect the relative mRNA and protein expressions, respectively. The cell viability and permeability were analyzed by MTT assay and fluorescent yellow detection. miR-1297 was significantly upregulated in patients with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and targeted PLCβ1. Moreover, overexpressed PLCβ1 was mainly enriched in the transforming growth factor-beta signaling pathway, while the knockdown of miR-1297 was focused on the arginine biosynthesis pathway. The overexpression of miR-1297 could reduce the PLCβ1 expression and inhibit the viability of CCCHIE-2 cells injured by LPS, while the effect of the downregulation of miR-1297 was on the opposite. Western blotting and cell fluorescence localization experiments revealed that the inhibition of miR-1297 increased the expressions of PLCβ1 and ZO-1. In addition, the upregulation of miR-1297 strengthened the permeability in cells injured by LPS, as did the knockdown of PLCβ1. miR-1297 could restrain the repair of intestinal barrier injury via negatively regulating PLCβ1 and its tight junction downstream protein ZO-1 in CCC-HIE-2 cells injured by LPS, which indicated that PLCβ1 and miR-1297 might be important targets for the repair of intestinal barrier injury.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, non-coding, single-stranded and tiny RNAs that modulate several biological functions, more importantly, the pathophysiology of numerous human cancers. They are bound with target mRNAs and thereby regulate gene expression at post-transcriptional levels. MiRNAs can either trigger cancer progression as an oncogene or alleviate it as a tumor suppressor. Abnormal expression of microRNA-1297 (miR-1297) has been noticed in several human cancers suggesting a distinct role for the miRNA in tumorigenesis. More specifically, it is both up-regulated and down-regulated in various cancers suggesting that it can act as both tumor suppressor and oncogene. This review systematically highlights the different roles of miR-1297 in the pathophysiology of human cancers, explains the mechanisms underlying miR-1297-mediated tumorigenesis, and discusses its potential prognostic, diagnostic, and therapeutic importance.

Abstract
Background MiR-1297 is reported to function as a tumor suppressor of various cancers. However, the role of miR-1297 in the development of osteosarcoma (OS) has not been elaborated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional effects of miR-1297 on OS progression and the underlying mechanism. Methods The expression of protein and mRNA in OS cells was evaluated by Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cellular proliferation was investigated by cell counting kit-8, colony formation and apoptosis assays. Bioinformatics methods were used to predict target genes. The relationship between PFKFB2 and miR-1297 was demonstrated by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Metabolic changes in OS cells were monitored using an XF96 metabolic flux analyzer. Results We found that miR-1297 was downregulated in OS and that lower expression of miR-1297 promoted proliferation and contributed to the Warburg effect in OS cells. Furthermore, we showed that silencing PFKFB2 inhibited proliferation and reduced aerobic glycolysis while overexpression of PFKFB2 reduced the anti-tumor function of miR-1297 in OS cells. Mechanistically, miR-1297 acted as a tumor suppressor in OS and reduced the expression of PFKFB2 by directly targeting its 3ʹUTR. Conclusion The miR-1297/PFKFB2 axis regulated OS proliferation by controlling the Warburg effect. Our results revealed a previously undiscovered function of miR-1297 in OS, which strongly linked metabolic alterations with cancer progression. Targeting miR-1297 may become a promising therapeutic approach for OS.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC), one of the most common malignant tumors and the second most common leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, is a biologically heterogeneous disease accompanied by various genetic and epigenetic alterations. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this disease are complex and not completely understood. Increasing studies have shown that aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression is associated with GC tumorigenesis and growth. MiR-1297 has been confirmed to be a cancer suppressor in diverse tumors in humans. However, to date, the function and mechanism of miR-1297 in GC have not been determined. Here, we found that the expression of miR-1297 was significantly reduced in GC tissues or GC cell lines compared with paracarcinoma normal tissue or normal cell lines. Exogenic overexpression of miR-1297 in GC cell lines can inhibit cell proliferation and colony formation and induce apoptosis, and inhibition of miR-1297 in GC cell lines can promote cell proliferation and colony formation, and reduce apoptosis in vitro. We further confirmed that miR-1297 acted as a tumor suppressor through targeting cell division control protein 6 (CDC6) in GC. Moreover, the inverse relationship between miR-1297 and CDC6 was verified in GC cell lines. Our results indicated that miR-1297 is a potent tumor suppressor in GC, and its antiproliferative and gene-regulatory effects are, in part, mediated through its downstream target gene, CDC6. These findings implied that miR-1297 might be used as a novel therapeutic target of GC.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignant tumors among women worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRs) may be involved in several types of human cancer, including gastric, liver, lung and breast cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of miR-1297 on MDA-MB-231 cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and proliferation, and the underlying molecular mechanisms. MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with miR-1297 inhibitor or inhibitor control for 48 h. Subsequently, MTT and flow cytometry assays indicated that miR-1297 inhibitor significantly decreased cell proliferation and induced apoptosis compared with the inhibitor control group. In addition, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting suggested that miR-1297 inhibitor suppressed EMT in MDA-MB-231 cells compared with the inhibitor control group. TargetScan bioinformatics analysis and a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay were performed, which predicted that miR-1297 directly targeted fatty acid 2-hydroxylase (FA2H). Furthermore, MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with control-plasmid or FA2H-plasmid for 48 h. The results demonstrated that FA2H overexpression decreased MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation and increased apoptosis compared with the control-plasmid group. Additionally, FA2H-plasmid increased E-cadherin expression levels, and reduced N-cadherin and matrix metalloproteinase 9 expression levels at both the protein and mRNA level compared with control-plasmid. Finally, MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with control-small interfering (si)RNA, FA2H-siRNA, inhibitor control, miR-1297 inhibitor, miR-1297 inhibitor + control siRNA or miR-1297 inhibitor + FA2H-siRNA, and the results suggested that the biological effects of miR-1297 inhibitor were reversed by co-transfection with FA2H siRNA. In conclusion, the present study indicated that miR-1297/FA2H might serve as a novel potential biomarker and therapeutic target for BC.

BACKGROUND It is well known that some circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are highly stable and might serve as promising biomarkers for many types of human cancer including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the potential clinical significance of serum miR-1290 in ESCC remained unknown. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum miR-1290 for ESCC. METHODS The expression levels of serum miRNA-1290 in patients with ESCC and healthy controls were detected, and their potential diagnostic and prognostic value was analyzed. RESULTS Our results showed that tissue and serum miR-1290 levels were both significantly elevated in ESCC compared to their respective controls. Tissue miR-1290 levels were highly correlated with serum miR-1290 levels. High serum miR-1290 levels were significantly associated with worse clinicopathological characteristics. Patients with high serum miR-1290 levels had significantly worse survival. Further multivariate analysis showed that serum miR-1290 was an independent risk factor for ESCC. Serum miR-1290 could effectively discriminate ESCC cases from normal controls. CONCLUSIONS The level of serum microRNA-1290 in ESCC patients increased significantly, and its expression level could reflect the progress of ESCC, suggesting that serum microRNA-1290 might be a useful diagnostic and prognostic marker of ESCC.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) exhibit a survival rate of less than 60% and 40%, respectively. Late-stage diagnosis and lack of effective treatment strategies make both OSCC and ESCC a significant health burden. Autophagy, a lysosome-dependent catabolic process, involves the degradation of intracellular components to maintain cell homeostasis. Targeting autophagy has been highlighted as a feasible therapeutic strategy with clinical utility in cancer treatment, although its associated regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. The detection of relevant biomarkers in biological fluids has been anticipated to facilitate early diagnosis and/or prognosis for these tumors. In this context, recent studies have indicated the presence of specific proteins and small RNAs, detectable in circulating plasma and serum, as biomarkers. Interestingly, the interplay between biomarkers (eg, exosomal microRNAs) and autophagic processes could be exploited in the quest for targeted and more effective therapies for OSCC and ESCC. In this review, we give an overview of the available biomarkers and innovative targeted therapeutic strategies, including the application of autophagy modulators in OSCC and ESCC. Additionally, we provide a viewpoint on the state of the art and on future therapeutic perspectives combining the early detection of relevant biomarkers with drug discovery for the treatment of OSCC and ESCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Glioma is a common and fatal intracranial tumor. Both miR-377 and lncRNA MEG3 are tumor suppressors. This study was performed to investigate the association between miR-377 and lncRNA MEG3 in glioma cells. METHODS U118 and U251 cell lines were incubated in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with miR-377 mimics, MEG3 siRNA (si-MEG3) and/or MEG3 overexpression plasmids (pc-MEG3) for 48 h. Cell migration, invasion, apoptosis, cell cycle distribution and the expression of E26 tansformation-specific-1 (ETS-1), phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN), E-cadherin, N-cadherin and β-catenin were detected. RESULTS MiR-377 mimics increased MEG3 expression and decreased the number of migrated and invaded U118 and U251 cells, without influence on apoptosis in both cell lines. Si-MEG3 transfection increased U118 cell migration and invasion and rescued miR-377 mimics-induced inhibitory in cell migration and invasion. Si-MEG3 decreased U118 cell apoptosis and induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, and pc-MEG3 increased U251 cell apoptosis via arresting cell cycle at G2/M phage. MiR-377 mimics and si-MEG3 increased the relative expression level of N-cadherin mRNA, and both si-MEG3 and pc-MEG3 increased E-cadherin in glioma cells. MiR-377 mimics increased ETS-1 mRNA in U118 cells, but decreased it in U251 cells. PTEN was increased by miR-377 mimics and si-MEG3 and decreased by pc-MEG3 in glioma cells. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested the link interaction of MEG3 with miR-377 and PTEN, but not functioning as the competing endogenous RNA. MiR-377 mimics and MEG3 were tumor suppressors in glioma cells through regulating PTEN expression.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine microRNA (miRNA or miR)-455-5p expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) at the tissue and cellular levels in order to elucidate its biological roles. A total of 60 patients with ESCC were enrolled in the present study and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to measure the expression of miR-455-5p. ESCC Eca109 cells were transfected with miR-NC, miR-455-5p mimics or inhibitor and a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to assess proliferation. To investigate the migration and invasion abilities of Eca109 cells, Transwell and Matrigel assays were performed. Western blotting was employed to measure Rab31 protein expression, while a rescue assay was utilized to study the biological roles of miR-455-5p and Rab31 in Eca109 cells. To determine whether Rab31 is a direct target of miR-455-5p, a dual luciferase reporter assay was performed. The results revealed that miR-455-5p expression was decreased in ESCC tissues and was negatively correlated with metastasis and pathogenesis. In vitro overexpression of miR-455-5p inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of ESCC Eca109 cells. Furthermore, miR-455-5p regulated the expression of Rab31 protein in Eca109 cells. Rab31 overexpression promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of Eca109 cells. Luciferase reporter assay results revealed that miR-455-5p is able to bind with the 3'-untranslated region of Rab31 mRNA to regulate its expression. In summary, the results of the present study suggest that miR-455-5p expression is decreased in ESCC tissues and is miR-455-5p is negatively correlated with lymphatic metastasis and differentiation. As a tumor-suppressor gene, miR-455-5p inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of ESCC Eca109 cells by suppressing the expression of Rab31.

Abstract
Objective: MiRNAs are important regulators of translation and have been described as biomarkers of a number of cardiovascular diseases, including stroke. The purpose of the study was to determine expression levels of serum miR-1297 in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), and to assess whether miR-1297 was the prognostic indicator of aSAH. Methods: We treated 128 aSAH patients with endovascular coiling. The World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS) grades, Hunt-Hess grades, and modified Fisher scores were used to assess aSAH severity. Neurologic outcome was assessed using the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 1-year post-aSAH. Serum was taken at various time points (24, 72, and 168 h, and 14 days). Serum samples from aSAH patients and healthy controls were subjected to reverse transcription (RT) quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). Results: A poor outcome at 1 year was associated with significantly higher levels of miR-1297 value at the four time points, higher WFNS grade, higher Hunt-Hess grade, and higher Fisher score. Serum miR-1297 levels were significantly higher in patients, compared with healthy controls. There were significant correlations of miR-1297 concentrations in serum with severity in aSAH. The AUCs of miR-1297 at the four time points for distinguishing the aSAH patients from healthy controls were 0.80, 0.94, 0.77, and 0.59, respectively. After multivariate logistic regression analysis, only miR-1297 at 24 and 72 h enabled prediction of neurological outcome at 1 year. Conclusion: Serum was an independent predictive factor of poor outcome at 1 year following aSAH. This result supports the use of miR-1297 in aSAH to aid determination of prognosis.

Abstract
Background and Aim: MicroRNAs, dysregulated in the circulation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patient, have been assumed to be with great potential in the diagnosis and prognosis of esophageal cancer. We aimed to review previous articles on ESCC. Methods: A search of electronic databases was performed before Nov 12, 2017. We summarized the identification of microRNA imbalance in the blood of ESCC compared with the healthy controls, with the objective to evaluate the efficiency of microRNAs in diagnosing and forecasting ESCC. Results: A total of 35 studies investigating plasma or serum microRNAs were included in the meta-analysis. Based on the consequences of the quality assessment of each study, the articles involved were appropriate for quantitative synthesis. For diagnostic meta-analysis. The overall pooled sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve of circulating microRNA is 0.794 (95% CI: 0.765 - 0.820), 0.779 (95%CI: 0.746 - 0.808), 0.86 (95%CI: 0.82 - 0.88). The diagnostic value of each microRNA was calculated respectively. For prognostic meta-analysis, the overall pooled hazard ratios of higher microRNA expression in circulation was 1.34 (95% CI: 1.14-1.58), which could significantly predict poorer survival in ESCC. Conclusions: Circulating microRNAs distinguish patients with ESCC from healthy controls with high sensitivity and specificity, compared to other invasive currently used screening methods. Simultaneously, there was prognostic value for the prognosis of ESCC.

Abstract
Increasing evidence confirms that aberrant miRNA expression contributes to breast cancer (BC) development and progression. However, the roles of different miRNAs in BC remain to be explored. In the present study, we demonstrated that miR-1297 expression was increased in BC tissues and cell lines. Our clinical analysis revealed that the upregulated miR-1297 expression was significantly correlated with poor prognostic features including advanced TNM stage and larger tumor size. Moreover, we found that miR-1297 was a novel independent prognostic marker for predicting 5-year survival of BC patients. The ectopic overexpression of miR-1297 promoted cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and inhibited apoptosis while miR-1297 knockdown reversed the effect. In addition, miR-1297 modulated PTEN by directly binding to its 3'-UTR, resulting in activation of AKT signaling. In clinical samples of BC, miR-1297 inversely correlated with PTEN, which was downregulated in BC. Alternation of PTEN expression or AKT inhibitor at least partially abolished the biological effects of miR-1297 on BC cells. In conclusion, our results indicated that miR-1297 functioned as an oncogene in regulating the proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis of BC via targeting PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling, and may represent a novel potential therapeutic target and prognostic marker for BC.
