Summary: This study investigated the influence of microRNA-128-3p (miR-128-3p) on gastric cancer (GC) cells by regulating Tuftelin1 (TUFT1). It was found that miR-128-3p expression was low and TUFT1 expression was high in GC tissues. miR-128-3p can inhibit GC cell activities by repressing TUFT1 expression.

Summary: The study confirmed the upregulation of CDH3 in GC, which promoted cell proliferation and adhesion but reduced apoptosis levels. In contrast, the miR-665 inhibitor had the opposite effect. The findings indicated that miR-665 targeted CDH3 to suppress the progression of GC.

Summary: This study investigates the interplay between CCDC43 and FHL1 in gastric cancer cell growth and apoptosis. The results demonstrate that CCDC43 physically interacts with FHL1 and their expression levels are negatively correlated. Moreover, up-regulation of CCDC43 leads to a decrease in FHL1 levels, while knockdown of CCDC43 results in decreased stability of FHL1 protein. Importantly, co-expression of CCDC43 and FHL1 significantly inhibits the growth, metastasis, and invasion of gastric cancer cells, and knockdown of CCDC43 combined with overexpression of FHL1 inhibits cell proliferation and migration, and induces apoptosis in vitro and in vivo.

Summary: The study revealed that HDAC3 and WNT2b were up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues and cells, while miR-376c-3p was reduced. Inhibiting HDAC3 or elevating miR-376c-3p could restrain malignant behaviors of GC cells. WNT2b plays a crucial role in GC cell growth under the regulation of miR-376c-3p.

Summary: This study found that LINC00978 is upregulated in HCC and is associated with poor prognosis. Silencing LINC00978 can inhibit the growth and metastasis of HCC cells. Mechanistically, LINC00978 functions as a sponge for miR-125b-5p and regulates the expression of SOX12, promoting liver cancer migration, invasion, and proliferation.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the influence of AnnexinA5 on human gastric cancer cells and its potential as an auxiliary treatment for gastric cancer. The findings indicated that when the ANXA5 gene was knocked down, cell proliferation and metastasis were promoted, while cell apoptosis was suppressed; conversely, when AnnexinA5 protein was added to gastric cancer cells, cell proliferation and metastasis were inhibited, while cell apoptosis and necrosis was promoted.

Summary: MiR-125b and its 3' isomiRs have therapeutic potential in the treatment of myocardial ischemic injury. The addition or deletion of nucleotide A in isomiRs has a protective effect against hypoxia, while other isomiRs have weaker effects. Understanding the metabolism and function of isomiRs will contribute to the design of better miRNA therapeutic drugs.

Summary: MicroRNA-153 (miR-153), a novel tumor-related miRNA, is aberrantly expressed in gastric cancer (GC). The study showed that miR-153 expression is significantly decreased in GC cells, tissues, and serum samples. Transfection with miR-153 mimics inhibits GC cell proliferation and migration, while promoting apoptosis. The serum expression levels of miR-153 are lower in patients with larger tumor size, poor differentiation, lymph node metastasis, and advanced tumor stage. These findings suggest that miR-153 may serve as a potential tumor biomarker and therapeutic target in GC.
