Summary: The study found that LINC00961 is significantly downregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues, and it inhibits the expression of miR-19a-3p/miR-19b-3p/miR-125b-5p through the PI3K-AKT/MAPK/mTOR signaling pathway, thereby suppressing tumor cell proliferation and migration while promoting apoptosis. This may provide potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC.

Summary: This study revealed that miR-509-3-5p regulates the malignancy of colon cancer by suppressing target gene GTSE1. Downregulation of miR-509-3-5p in CC and its overexpression can inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of CC cells. MiR-509-3-5p targets GTSE1, identified as an oncogene in colon cancer.

Summary: This study reveals the upregulation of RNF187 in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its association with poor prognosis. Inhibition of RNF187 expression suppresses the proliferation, migration, and invasion while promoting apoptosis of CRC cells. miR-144-5p is identified as a direct target of RNF187, and its downregulation in CRC tissues is negatively correlated with RNF187 expression. Restoration of miR-144-5p significantly inhibits CRC cell progression, which can be abolished by overexpression of RNF187.

Summary: This research identifies the circLONP2/miR-584-5p/YAP1 axis as a novel regulatory module in the progression of bladder cancer. The study shows that circLONP2 plays an oncogenic role by regulating the miR-584-5p/YAP1 axis, and targeting this interaction could be a potential strategy for treating bladder cancer.

Summary: This study revealed that LINC01969 was significantly upregulated in ovarian cancer (OC), and patients with lower expression levels tended to have better overall survival. Functional experiments demonstrated that LINC01969 promoted the migration, invasion, and proliferation of OC cells in vitro, as well as tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, LINC01969 sponged miR-144-5p to upregulate LARP1 expression, contributing to the malignant progression of OC.

Summary: Exosomes derived from bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC-Exos) can promote angiogenesis and improve neurological functions in ischemic stroke mice via upregulation of miR-21-5p. In vitro experiments show that BMSC-Exos also enhance the functions of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

Summary: Circ-E2F3 is upregulated in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines, correlating with clinicopathological features and poor prognosis of patients. It promotes proliferation, invasion, migration of cancer cells, and tumor growth in vivo, by inhibiting miR-296-5p to facilitate nuclear translocation of STAT3 and affect cyclin D1 expression.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the binding of microRNA-9-5p and STARD13 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells and explore their effect on the malignant progression of LUAD. Bioinformatics analysis was used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs and predict potential target genes. The results showed that microRNA-9-5p could promote the malignant progression of LUAD cells, while STARD13 could inhibit it. Dual-luciferase gene assay confirmed the direct targeting relationship between microRNA-9-5p and STARD13.

Summary: In this study, we propose MetaAc4C, an advanced deep learning model for accurate identification of N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) sites using pre-trained BERT and various optimization techniques. By adapting generative adversarial networks to address data imbalance and augmenting training RNA samples, our model outperforms existing methods in terms of ACC, MCC, and AUROC.
