Plasma miRNA-based signatures in CRC screening programs

Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs help diagnose cancer precursors and early cancers and help reduce CRC mortality. However, currently recommended tests, the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and colonoscopy, have low uptake. There is therefore a pressing need for screening strategies that are minimally invasive and consequently more acceptable to patients, most likely blood based, to increase early CRC identification. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) released from cancer cells are detectable in plasma in a remarkably stable form, making them ideal cancer biomarkers. Using plasma samples from FIT-positive (FIT+) subjects in an Italian CRC screening program, we aimed to identify plasma circulating miRNAs that detect early CRC. miRNAs were initially investigated by quantitative real-time PCR in plasma from 60 FIT+ subjects undergoing colonoscopy at Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, then tested on an internal validation cohort (IVC, 201 cases) and finally in a large multicenter prospective series (external validation cohort [EVC], 1121 cases). For each endoscopic lesion (low-grade adenoma [LgA], high-grade adenoma [HgA], cancer lesion [CL]), specific signatures were identified in the IVC and confirmed on the EVC. A two-miRNA-based signature for CL and six-miRNA signatures for LgA and HgA were selected. In a multivariate analysis including sex and age at blood collection, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (95% confidence interval) of the signatures were 0.644 (0.607–0.682), 0.670 (0.626–0.714) and 0.682 (0.580–0.785) for LgA, HgA and CL, respectively. A miRNA-based test could be introduced into the FIT+ workflow of CRC screening programs so as to schedule colonoscopies only for subjects likely to benefit most.     

circRNA在肝癌中的研究进展

circRNA是一种新的内源性RNA，广泛存在于真核细胞中，参与转录或转录后基因表达调控，大部分属非编码RNA，是近几年RNA领域中的研究热点。circRNA主要通过拮抗miRNA来发挥“海绵作用”进而调控靶基因表达，与多种疾病有着密切联系，特别是在肿瘤中发挥重要作用。近年研究发现，circRNA对肝细胞肝癌（hepatocellular carcinoma，HCC）的发生、发展及转移具有重要调控作用。该文就circRNA与肝细胞肝癌关系的研究进展作一阐述。     

Evaluation of miRNA 223/125a and COBLL1 Expressions and ROR-1 Levels as Reliable Markers in B- chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Background: miRNA 223 /125a and Cordon-bleu Protein Like 1 (COBLL1) are novel biomarkers that can predict prognosis and guide treatment decisions in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Also, there is a growing interest in CLL monitoring based on flow cytometry of receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor-1 (ROR-1).  Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between miRNA 223 /125a and COBLL1 expressions and ROR-1 expression in patients with CLL. Also, the study evaluated the relationship between the expression of these biomarkers with tumor staging and cancer progression. Methods: Our study included 40 patients newly diagnosed with B-CLL. In peripheral blood (PB), miRNA 223/125a and COBLL1 expressions were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) and ROR-1 percentage was detected by flow cytometry before and after treatment.  Results: High level of COBLL1 expression was statistically significantly associated with high ROR-1 percentage expression (P= 0.03). However, a high level of miRNA 223/125a expression was statistically significantly associated with low ROR-1 percentage expression (P=0.002). The sensitivity and specificity of ROR-1 as a predictor of high WBCs count after treatment were 96.6 and 81.1%, respectively. There was a statistically significant reduction of ROR-1 percentage after treatment compared to before treatment (P <0.001). Conclusion: ROR-1 percentage expression can be considered a possible prognostic predictor in CLL along with miRNA 223/125a and COBLL1 expressions. This can be explained by the significant correlation between ROR-1 and the studied molecular biomarkers; miRNA 223/125a and COBLL1. In addition, there was a significantly higher ROR-1 percentage in patients with higher WBC counts. Moreover, there was a significant reduction in ROR-1 percentage after treatment.     

健康促进企业和健康企业的内涵与实践辨析

[摘要]?微小RNA （microRNA, miRNA）在宿主-病毒相互作用中起关键调节作用，参与HBV感染、复制和HBV相关疾病的调节。细胞miRNA可以通过直接结合HBV转录物或通过靶向与HBV生命周期相关的细胞因子间接调节HBV转录和复制。反过来，HBV感染也可以影响宿主细胞内的miRNA水平。HBV和miRNA之间的相互作用在HBV复制和HBV相关疾病的发病机制中发挥重要作用。本文对miRNA与HBV的相互关系进行综述，为进一步探讨HBV感染致病的分子机制和开发新的抗HBV治疗策略提供参考。     

MiR‐744‐3p regulates keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation via targeting KLLN in psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease, and microRNAs have been reported to regulate the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Up‐regulated miR‐744‐3p level was identified to associate with psoriasis while the precise functions of miR‐744‐3p in psoriasis were not well‐elucidated. We first confirmed the up‐regulation of miR‐744‐3p in psoriasis by measuring its expression level in psoriatic samples. We explored the roles of miR‐744‐3p on keratinocytes proliferation and differentiation. We searched the targets of miR‐744‐3p and evaluated the roles of one target, KLLN on keratinocytes proliferation and differentiation. We confirmed the up‐regulation of miR‐744‐3p in psoriatic samples. MiR‐744‐3p promoted keratinocytes proliferation while inhibited differentiation. MiR‐744‐3p targeted KLLN and overexpression of miR‐744‐3p resulted in decreased expression of KLLN. Overexpression of KLLN prevented the effects of miR‐744‐3p on keratinocytes proliferation and differentiation. MiR‐744‐3p regulated the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes through targeting KLLN in psoriasis.     

miRNA93和miRNA192在H3N2亚型SIV病毒复制及宿主抗病毒免疫中的作用

目的 探讨分离于广西猪流感病毒SW/Guangxi/NS2783/2010和SW/Guangxi/NS650/2012跨种属感染人肺腺癌A549细胞的miRNA93和miRNA192对病毒复制及宿主抗病毒免疫的影响。方法 通过测定不同稀释浓度的病毒感染细胞HA滴度值,确定病毒最佳稀释浓度。荧光定量PCR检测病毒感染细胞后miRNA93和miRNA192表达,Western blot检测病毒NP和HA蛋白表达水平;转染miRNA93和miRNA192抑制剂后,重新检测miRNA93、miRNA192、IFN-β及病毒NP、HA蛋白表达水平。结果 不同稀释度病毒感染人A549细胞后HA滴度的结果显示病毒SW2783的最佳稀释度为10^-3,而SW650的HA滴度无明显变化趋势,提示病毒SW2783对人A549细胞具有较好的适应性和感染能力。荧光定量PCR和Western blot结果提示两株病毒感染细胞后病毒NP和HA蛋白表达均先升高后降低,加入miRNA93抑制剂,两株病毒NP和HA蛋白的表达均上调;加入miRNA192抑制剂,病毒SW2783的HA蛋白表达下调（P=2.10×10^-4）,而SW650的HA蛋白表达上调（P=5.45×10^-5）,NP蛋白反而下调（P=0.034）;ELISA结果提示病毒SW2783和SW650感染细胞后炎症因子IFN-β表达水平随感染时间延长而升高。结论 研究表明miRNA93和miRNA192的表达与SIV病毒增殖及宿主抗病毒免疫有关,可作为干预猪流感病毒跨种属感染的新靶点。
