Abstract
Breast tumor diseases include a wide range of pathologies that require different approaches to their treatment. MicroRNA (miR) levels, reflecting regulation of the gene expression involved in tumorigenesis, can be diagnostic and prognostic markers of breast diseases. The levels of circulating miR-181a and miR-25 were measured in patients with benign breast diseases (BBD), patients with invasive carcinoma of a nonspecific type (ICNT) and also in conditionally healthy women. Expression of both miRs was higher in patients of both groups as compared to controls; at the same time, the content of serum miR-181a and miR-25 was higher in BBD patients than in ICNT patients. The detected changes may be of interest in the context of precancerous changes in BBD. It seems possible to use them in the future as markers of the pathological process as a part of a large diagnostic panel.

DOKL BIOCHEM BIOPHYS 2023; 512:279-283. [PMID: 38093131 DOI: 10.1134/s1607672923700436] [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: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 06/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023]
Abstract
Circulating miR-181а and miR-25, which reflect regulation of the expression of carcinogenesis-related genes, were assayed in patients with invasive carcinoma of no specific type (ICNT) or benign breast diseases (BBDs) and in subjects without pathologies of the mammary gland (controls). miR-181а expression level proved to be higher compared to control in patients with fibroadenoma and adenosis with low, but not high, risk of malignant transformation, as well as in patients with luminal HER2-negative type B (Lum B HER2-), HER2-positive type (HER2+), and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) than in the controls and luminal-type (Lum A) breast cancer. MiR-25 expression level prevailed in patients with Lum B HER2- compared to control, Lum A, and TNBC patients compared to Lum A. Thus, miR-181а and miR-25 expression levels may be risk indicators of malignant transformation in some patients with BBD, whereas in patients with ICNT, these levels reflect pathological processes of different directions within the tumor.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:13909. [PMID: 37762212 PMCID: PMC10530696 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241813909] [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: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Dysregulated expression of specific non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) has been strongly linked to tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and therapeutic resistance. These ncRNAs can act as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors, thereby serving as valuable diagnostic and prognostic markers. Numerous studies have implicated the participation of ncRNAs in the regulation of diverse signaling pathways, including the pivotal Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway that is widely acknowledged for its pivotal role in embryogenesis, cellular proliferation, and tumor biology control. Recent emerging evidence has shed light on the capacity of ncRNAs to interact with key components of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby modulating the expression of Wnt target genes in cancer cells. Notably, the activity of this pathway can reciprocally influence the expression levels of ncRNAs. However, comprehensive analysis investigating the specific ncRNAs associated with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and their intricate interactions in cancer remains elusive. Based on these noteworthy findings, this review aims to unravel the intricate associations between ncRNAs and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway during cancer initiation, progression, and their potential implications for therapeutic interventions. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive overview of the characteristics of ncRNAs and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, accompanied by a thorough discussion of their functional roles in tumor biology. Targeting ncRNAs and molecules associated with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway may emerge as a promising and effective therapeutic strategy in future cancer treatments.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus is an essential cellular organelle that mediates homeostatic functions, including vesicle trafficking and the post-translational modification of macromolecules. Its unique stacked structure and dynamic functions are tightly regulated, and several Golgi proteins play key roles in the functioning of unconventional protein secretory pathways triggered by cellular stress responses. Recently, an increasing number of studies have implicated defects in Golgi functioning in human diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative, and immunological disorders. Understanding the extraordinary characteristics of Golgi proteins is important for elucidating its associated intracellular signaling mechanisms and has important ramifications for human health. Therefore, analyzing the mechanisms by which the Golgi participates in disease pathogenesis may be useful for developing novel therapeutic strategies. This review articulates the structural features and abnormalities of the Golgi apparatus reported in various diseases and the suspected mechanisms underlying the Golgi-associated pathologies. Furthermore, we review the potential therapeutic strategies based on Golgi function.

Tetrandrine Ameliorates Traumatic Brain Injury by Regulating Autophagy to Reduce Ferroptosis. Neurochem Res 2022; 47:1574-1587. [PMID: 35266084 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-022-03553-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Revised: 01/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability in trauma patients. However, the effects and mechanism of autophagy after TBI remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether tetrandrine could ameliorate TBI through autophagy to reduce ferroptosis. A mice model for TBI was implemented. Behavioral and histomorphological experiments were performed to evaluate outcomes of the mice. The ferroptosis levels was detected by Perls staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to detect malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) levels in the brain tissue. Western blot test was performed to detect Beclin 1, light chain 3 (LC3) II/I, p62, GPX4, SCL7A11, and ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) levels, and the expression of LC3B, Beclin 1, GPX4, and FTH1 in the brain tissue was detected by immunofluorescence (IF). The behavioral and histomorphological results demonstrated that tetrandrine improved the neurological function and cerebral edema on days 1, 3, and 7 after TBI. The ELISA results suggested that tetrandrine reduced the MDA concentration and increased GSH concentration on days 1, 3, and 7 after TBI. IF staining and Perls staining reflected that tetrandrine promoted autophagy and inhibited ferroptosis on days 1, 3, and 7 after TBI, respectively. Tetrandrine further improved the neurological function, cerebral edema, autophagy, and ferroptosis on days 1, 3, and 7 after TBI after adding the autophagy inducer rapamycin. The effect of TET in alleviating TBI increased with the increase of time and dose. Tetrandrine ameliorated TBI by regulating autophagy to reduce ferroptosis, providing a new therapeutic strategy for TBI.
