MicroRNA-based therapy in pain medicine: Current progress and future prospects

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules of 18–25 nucleotides in length that regulate gene expression involved in fundamental cell processes. The induction and chronification of pain is associated with many expressional changes in pain-related proteins. miRNA has the potential to regulate gene and protein expression associated with the induction and chronification of pain. Thus, miRNAs might have promise in therapy and as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in pain medicine. The application of miRNA has been an emerging field in pain research in recent years. Many studies focusing on the regulation of miRNAs under different tissue and nociceptive stimuli have been performed in recent years. In this review, we intend to introduce the most recent research in the field of miRNA related with pain medicine such as the expression and function of miRNA in different animal pain model, the challenge of application and delivery of miRNA in vivo, the potential toxic effects of miRNA and future problems in clinical application that need to be resolved. This review focuses on the results of miRNA in animal studies and the prospect for future success.     

Meta-analysis of human lung cancer microRNA expression profiling studies comparing cancer tissues with normal tissues

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer death globally, it is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and has one of the lowest survival rates of any type of cancer. The common interest in the field of lung cancer research is the identification of biomarkers for early diagnosis and accurate prognosis. There is increasing evidence to suggest that microRNAs play important and complex roles in lung cancer. METHODS: A meta-analysis was conducted to review the published microRNA expression profiling studies that compared the microRNAs expression profiles in lung cancer tissues with those in normal lung tissues. A vote-counting strategy that considers the total number of studies reporting its differential expression, the total number of tissue samples used in the studies and the average fold change was employed. RESULTS: A total of 184 differentially expressed microRNAs were reported in the fourteen microRNA expression profiling studies that compared lung cancer tissues with normal tissues, with 61 microRNAs were reported in at least two studies. In the panel of consistently reported up-regulated microRNAs, miR-210 was reported in nine studies and miR-21 was reported in seven studies. In the consistently reported down-regulated microRNAs, miR-126 was reported in ten studies and miR-30a was reported in eight studies. Four up-regulated microRNAs (miR-210, miR-21. miR-31 and miR-182) and two down-regulated mcroiRNAs (miR-126 and miR-145) were consistently reported both in squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma-based subgroup analysis, with the other 14 microRNAs solely reported in one or the other subset. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the top two most consistently reported up-regulated microRNAs were miR-210 and miR-21. The results of this meta-analysis of human lung cancer microRNA expression profiling studies might provide some clues of the potential biomarkers in lung cancer. Further mechanistic and external validation studies are needed for their clinical significance and role in the development of lung cancer.     

微小RNA与肿瘤

微小RNA(miRNA)是一类小分子的非编码调控的单链RNA,它参与有机体的生长、发育等多种生理过程.近年来研究表明肿瘤组织具有不同的miRNA表达,异常表达的miRNA影响了肿瘤细胞的发生、进展、分化、转移和复发.miRNA的不同表达不仅有助于肿瘤组织的诊断,而且可以指导预后.针对miRNA为靶点的动物学研究也发现,干扰某种miRNA表达可以减小肿瘤体积,抑制腹膜转移而发挥治疗作用.

Differential expression of microRNAs related to apoptosis in human osteoblasts induced by sodium fluoride北大核心

BACKGROUND: Long-term excessive intake of fluoride, especially through drinking water, can cause chronic fluorosis of bone. The disease can lead to bone damage and deformity, and is difficult to recover. Unfortunately, we have not developed a noninvasive or minimally invasive method for its early diagnosis. OBJECTIVE: To observe the expression of apoptosis-related miRNAs under the action of excessive fluorine in human osteoblasts. METHODS: The fluorine model was established in the human osteoblasts by cultured with 20 and 40 mg/L sodium fluoride for 24 and 48 hours, respectively. The expression levels of apoptosis-related miRNAs were determined by PCR array. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 24-hour treatment of sodium fluoride, 48 kinds of miRNAs were upregulated and 4 ones were down-regulated in the osteoblasts. After 48-hour treatment of sodium fluoride, 21 kinds of miRNAs were upregulated and 2 ones were down-regulated. It showed that nine up-regulated miRNAs and one down-regulated miRNA were same in two periods. The 10 miRNAs are selected for target gene analysis on bioinformatics software that refer to the effect of anti-apoptosis and pro-apoptosis, which is of great significance for the early identification of skeletal fluorosis. © 2018, Journal of Clinical Rehabilitative Tissue Engineering Research.
