AGO2 (Argonaute RISC Catalytic Component 2)

Moreover, fludarabine targeting STAT1 in combination with anti-PD-1 has a synergetic effect on suppressing tumor growth in mice. Overall, this study reveals that the RNA binding-dependent function of PRMT5 regulates PDCD1 and T cell effector function with WDR77 and identifies potential combinatorial therapeutic strategies for enhancing antitumor efficacy.

High POFUT2 expression in CRC regulates JUP fucosylation, increasing JUP and VEGFA levels, which promotes angiogenesis. These findings suggest POFUT2 could serve as a prognostic marker for colorectal cancer, and targeting it may inhibit angiogenesis and aid in treatment.

This study identified a novel RASAL1-impairing mechanism, alternative to the classically known genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, for the inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene RASAL1 through aberrant AS to form RASAL1-004 with impaired protein translation. This represents a new oncogenic mechanism in thyroid cancer, with novel cancer biological, prognostic, and therapeutic-targeting implications in thyroid cancer.

These results suggest that circulating miR-192-5p and miR-122-5p are serum signatures for the diagnosis and prognostic management of echinococcosis.

These findings confirm strong binding affinity, structural stability, and specificity of the designed siRNAs. Overall, our results suggest that RNAi-based silencing of VEGF holds significant potential as a therapeutic strategy for inhibiting angiogenesis in breast cancer.

The AGO1*rs595961 genetic variant was correlated with an elevated risk of bladder carcinoma, whereas the AGO2*rs4961280 variant was not. Further research is warranted to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms and potential clinical implications.

Subsequent molecular dynamics simulations under CHARMM-GUI/CHARMM36m force field, confirmed the structural stability and sustained silencing potential of the complex. Collectively, these findings identify GPR10 as a therapeutically actionable driver in fibroid biology and lay the groundwork for precision RNAi strategies targeting non-malignant, yet clinically neglected, hormone-dependent disorders.

• We recognized tRF-33 as a promising diagnostic marker for BC and have suppressive effects on BC progression in vitro and in vivo. • Mechanically, tRF-33 cleaves BHLHA15 mRNA and regulates the PTEN/AKT pathway via interacting with Ago2.

Post-MD studies revealed S4 (5'UAUAUGGUGAUGAUGUGGC3') as the most potential siRNA candidate against HIF-1α, based on root mean square deviation (RMSD), root mean square fluctuation (RMSF), radius of gyration (Rg), and H-bond analysis. Molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MMPBSA) analysis was also performed to further validate the selected siRNA candidates, which further affirmed S4 (5'UAUAUGGUGAUGAUGUGGC3') as a potential candidate against HIF-1α.

Finally, the cell cycle is arrested, and the cell proliferation is suppressed, as well as the metastasis is inhibited. In gastric cancer cells, due to the downregulated of tRF-29, the expression of KIF14 is increased, thus the cell proliferation and metastasis are promoted via AKT pathway.

We systematically changed the targets from seed-only base pairing (target ATF3) to seed and extensive supplementary base pairing (target HVS HSUR1) to compare the stability of the miRNA-Ago2 complexes. We find that the sequence complementarity in seed, central, and supplementary pairings as well as the structural agility of Ago2 allow for differential stability of miRNA binding, potentially facilitating dissociation under different conditions.

Our study suggests candidate molecular mechanisms linking periodontitis to pancreatic cancer, highlighting potential compounds that may target both diseases. These findings provide a foundation for guiding future fundamental and clinical research.
