Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) poses a significant global health challenge because of its high mortality rate attributed to the late-stage diagnosis and lack of early symptoms. Early cancer diagnostics is crucial for improving the survival rates in GC patients, which emphasizes the importance of identifying GC markers for liquid biopsy. The review discusses a potential use of extracellular vesicle microRNAs (EV miRNAs) as biomarkers for the diagnostics and prognostics of GC. Methods. Original articles on the identification of EV miRNA as GC markers published in the Web of Science and Scopus indexed issues were selected from the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. We focused on the methodological aspects of EV analysis, including the choice of body fluid, methods for EV isolation and validation, and approaches for EV miRNA analysis. Conclusions. Out of 33 found articles, the majority of authors investigated blood-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs); only a few utilized EVs from other body fluids, including tissue-specific local biofluids (washing the tumor growth areas), which may be a promising source of EVs in the context of cancer diagnostics. GC-associated miRNAs identified in different studies using different methods of EV isolation and analysis varied considerably. However, three miRNAs (miR-10b, miR-21, and miR-92a) have been found in several independent studies and shown to be associated with GC in experimental models. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal miRNA marker panel. Another essential step necessary to improve the reliability and reproducibility of EV-based diagnostics is standardization of methodologies for EV handling and analysis of EV miRNA.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is considered a class I carcinogen in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer. In recent years, the interaction relationship between H. pylori infection and autophagy has attracted increasing attention. Most investigators believe that the pathogenesis of gastric cancer is closely related to the formation of an autophagosome-mediated downstream signaling pathway by H. pylori infection-induced cells. Autophagy is involved in H. pylori infection and affects the occurrence and development of gastric cancer. In this paper, the possible mechanism by which H. pylori infection affects autophagy and the progression of related gastric cancer signaling pathways are reviewed.

Atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer tissue miRNome analysis reveals hsa-miR-129-1 and hsa-miR-196a as potential early diagnostic biomarkers. World J Gastroenterol 2022; 28:653-664. [PMID: 35317427 PMCID: PMC8900545 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v28.i6.653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Revised: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed tumor globally. In most cases, GC develops in a stepwise manner from chronic gastritis or atrophic gastritis (AG) to cancer. One of the major issues in clinical settings of GC is diagnosis at advanced disease stages resulting in poor prognosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding molecules that play an essential role in a variety of fundamental biological processes. However, clinical potential of miRNA profiling in the gastric cancerogenesis, especially in premalignant GC cases, remains unclear.
AIM To evaluate the AG and GC tissue miRNomes and identify specific miRNAs’ potential for clinical applications (e.g., non-invasive diagnostics).
METHODS Study included a total of 125 subjects: Controls (CON), AG, and GC patients. All study subjects were recruited at the Departments of Surgery or Gastroenterology, Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences and divided into the profiling (n = 60) and validation (n = 65) cohorts. Total RNA isolated from tissue samples was used for preparation of small RNA sequencing libraries and profiled using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Based on NGS data, deregulated miRNAs hsa-miR-129-1-3p and hsa-miR-196a-5p were analyzed in plasma samples of independent cohort consisting of CON, AG, and GC patients. Expression level of hsa-miR-129-1-3p and hsa-miR-196a-5p was determined using the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and 2-ΔΔCt method.
RESULTS Results of tissue analysis revealed 20 differentially expressed miRNAs in AG group compared to CON group, 129 deregulated miRNAs in GC compared to CON, and 99 altered miRNAs comparing GC and AG groups. Only 2 miRNAs (hsa-miR-129-1-3p and hsa-miR-196a-5p) were identified to be step-wise deregulated in healthy-premalignant-malignant sequence. Area under the curve (AUC)-receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that expression level of hsa-miR-196a-5p is significant for discrimination of CON vs AG, CON vs GC and AG vs GC and resulted in AUCs: 88.0%, 93.1% and 66.3%, respectively. Compar-ing results in tissue and plasma samples, hsa-miR-129-1-3p was significantly down-regulated in GC compared to AG (P = 0.0021 and P = 0.024, tissue and plasma, respectively). Moreover, analysis revealed that hsa-miR-215-3p/5p and hsa-miR-934 were significantly deregulated in GC based on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection status [log2 fold change (FC) = -4.52, P-adjusted = 0.02; log2FC = -4.00, P-adjusted = 0.02; log2FC = 6.09, P-adjusted = 0.02, respectively].
CONCLUSION Comprehensive miRNome study provides evidence for gradual deregulation of hsa-miR-196a-5p and hsa-miR-129-1-3p in gastric carcinogenesis and found hsa-miR-215-3p/5p and hsa-miR-934 to be significantly deregulated in H. pylori carrying GC patients.

Abstract
miR-1246 is a microRNA firstly recognized through application of a high throughput sequencing technique in human embryonic stem cells. Subsequent studies have shown the role of this microRNA in the carcinogenesis. miR-1246 has been found to exert oncogenic roles in colorectal, breast, renal, oral, laryngeal, pancreatic and ovarian cancers as well as melanoma and glioma. In lung, cervical and liver cancers, studies have reported contradictory results regarding the role of miR-1246. miR-1246 has been reported to regulate activity of RAF/MEK/ERK, GSK3β, Wnt/β-catenin, JAK/STAT, PI3K/AKT, THBS2/MMP and NOTCH2 pathways. In addition to affecting cell cycle progression and proliferation, miR-1246 can influence stemness and resistance of cancer cells to therapeutics. In the current review, we describe the summary of in vitro and in vivo studies about the influence of miR-1246 in carcinogenesis in addition to studies that measured expression levels of miR-1246 in clinical samples.

Cytogenet Genome Res 2021; 161:488-500. [PMID: 34923485 DOI: 10.1159/000520069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most frequent cause of death among patients with gynecologic malignancies. In recent years, the development of cisplatin (DDP) resistance has become an important reason for the poor prognosis of OC patients. Therefore, it is vital to explore the mechanism of DDP resistance in OC. In this study, microRNA-1246 (miR-1246) expression in OC and DDP-resistant OC cells was determined by RT-qPCR, and chemosensitivity to DDP was assessed by the CCK-8 assay. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the interaction between miR-1246 and zinc finger 23 (ZNF23), while changes in ZNF23 expression were monitored by RT-qPCR, immunofluorescence, and western blot assays. Moreover, cell proliferation, cycle phase, and apoptosis were determined by EdU staining, flow cytometry, TUNEL staining, and Hoechst staining. Our data showed that miR-1246 was highly expressed in DDP-resistant OVCAR-3 and TOV-112D cells. Functionally, overexpression of miR-1246 markedly enhanced DDP resistance and cell proliferation, and suppressed cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of OC cells. Inhibition of miR-1246 expression significantly attenuated DDP resistance and cell proliferation, and increased cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in DDP-resistant OC cells. Furthermore, ZNF23 was identified as a target gene of miR-1246, and ZNF23 protein expression was notably downregulated in DDP-resistant OC cells. Moreover, overexpression of miR-1246 significantly downregulated the ZNF23 levels in OVCAR-3 and TOV-112D cells, and inhibition of miR-1246 upregulated the ZNF23 levels in the DDP-resistant OVCAR-3 and TOV-112D cells. In conclusion, miR-1246 might be a novel regulator of DDP-resistant OC that functions by regulating ZNF23 expression in DDP-resistant cells, as well as cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis.

Animals (Basel) 2021; 11:ani11030794. [PMID: 33809236 PMCID: PMC7998848 DOI: 10.3390/ani11030794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2021] [Revised: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary The pertinent consequences of global warming substantially affect both animal productivity and fertility. Noteworthy, tropical and subtropical animal breeds are productively suited to hot climate conditions. Therefore studying the physiological changes accompanying high temperature, especially in tropically adapted species such as buffalo, will help in understanding the mechanisms that the animal use to accomplish the necessary functions efficiently. Concerning fertility-related activity, granulosa cells are important for the regulation of ovarian function and the completion of oocyte maturation. In this study, the buffalo granulosa cells were examined for their viability, physiological and molecular responses under in vitro heat stress conditions. Buffalo granulosa cells displayed different adaptive responses, at the physiological and molecular levels, to the different heat stress conditions. At 40.5 °C, granulosa cells exhibited a functional persistence compared to the control and other heat-treated groups. These results will provide insights into ways that tropically adapted breeds may be able to maintain better reproductive function when exposed to heat stress compared to temperate breeds. Abstract The steroidogenesis capacity and adaptive response of follicular granulosa cells (GCs) to heat stress were assessed together with the underlying regulating molecular mechanisms in Egyptian buffalo. In vitro cultured GCs were exposed to heat stress treatments at 39.5, 40.5, or 41.5 °C for the final 24 h of the culture period (7 days), while the control group was kept under normal conditions (37 °C). Comparable viability was observed between the control and heat-treated GCs at 39.5 and 40.5 °C. A higher release of E2, P4 and IGF-1 was observed in the 40.5 °C group compared with the 39.5 or 41.5 °C groups. The total antioxidant capacity was higher in response to heat stress at 39.5 °C. At 40.5 °C, a significant upregulation pattern was found in the expression of the stress resistance transcripts (SOD2 and NFE2L2) and of CPT2. The relative abundance of ATP5F1A was significantly downregulated for all heat-treated groups compared to the control, while TNFα was downregulated in GCs at 39.5 °C. Expression analyses of stress-related miRNAs (miR-1246, miR-181a and miR-27b) exhibited a significant downregulation in the 40.5 °C group compared to the control, whereas miR-708 was upregulated in the 39.5 and 40.5 °C groups. In conclusion, buffalo GCs exhibited different adaptive responses, to the different heat stress conditions. The integration mechanism between the molecular and secretory actions of the GCs cultured at 40.5 °C might provide possible insights into the biological mechanism through which buffalo GCs react to heat stress.
