Summary: The dysregulation of miR-182-5p has been identified as potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for some cancers, however, its role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) had not been explored. Our study demonstrated that up-regulation of miR-182-5p in NPC is associated with tumor development and poor prognosis, and it facilitates cell proliferation and migration by down-regulating ZFP36L1 expression through a HIF-1 alpha/miR-182-5p/ZFP36L1 axis, suggesting a novel therapeutic target for NPC management.

Summary: SCT-1015 is a small molecule drug that directly activates the AMPK signaling pathway to suppress aerobic glycolysis and promote oxidative phosphorylation in HCC. It inhibits HCC cell and tumor growth and regulates the expression of glycolysis-related enzymes by promoting the degradation of HIF1 alpha.

Summary: TKI-resistant renal cancer is highly prone to metastasis, with enhanced vascular permeability playing a key role in the metastatic process. Lower expression of miR-549a in resistant cells and exosomes affects HIF1 alpha expression in endothelial cells, further promoting tumor angiogenesis and metastasis.

Summary: ONC exhibits cytostatic and cytotoxic activities against melanoma by upregulating onco-suppressor microRNAs such as miR-20a-3p, miR-29a-3p, and miR-34a-5p. It also inhibits the expression of proteins involved in cell survival pathways and metastasis. These findings suggest that the anti-tumor effects of ONC in melanoma cells may be mediated by the regulation of miRNAs expression.

Summary: Chemoresistance in advanced CRC patients undergoing systemic chemotherapy is associated with increased recruitment of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) into the tumor. Activated HIF1 alpha signaling in CRC cells under chemotherapy drives the expression of HMGB1 to promote macrophage infiltration, leading to the development of chemoresistance. TAMs produce GDF15 which impairs the chemosensitivity of tumor cells. These findings provide new insights into potential drug targets for CRC treatment.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the interaction and regulatory mechanism between miR-21, hypoxia, and CAFs in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) metastasis. The results showed that HIF1a upregulated the transcription of miR-21, promoted exosome secretion, activated CAFs, and facilitated tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis. The findings suggest that hypoxic tumor cell-derived exosomal miR-21 might be a potential therapeutic target for preventing or delaying HNSCC invasion and metastasis.

Summary: Study found that a-solanine, a natural compound derived from potato, has anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory effects. The research revealed that a-solanine can induce ferroptosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by directly targeting HSP90a, inhibiting the expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4. The findings suggest the potential application of a-solanine in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma through ferroptosis.
