MIR3651 (MicroRNA 3651)

Our findings suggest that, under the control of GOLM1, HCC cell-derived exosomal miR-4449 and miR-3651 increase angiogenesis and vascular permeability by targeting KEAP1 and ZO-1, highlighting the potential of exosomal miRNAs as promising therapeutic targets for HCC.

miRNA-1972 is a strong prognostic marker in non-viral HCC. Dysregulation of several other miRNAs relates to pathological variables such as amount of stroma within tumor, microvascular invasion and micronodularity.

This study provides a systematic in silico framework for identifying LUAD associated miRNAs. The discovery of five novel miRNAs highlights their potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, offering valuable insights for experimental and clinical investigations in LUAD.

Importantly, we used the DEMs during EBV latent infection types I, II, and III to identify the candidate drugs for repurposing: Glyburide, Levodopa, Nateglinide, and Stiripentol, among others. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first integrative analyses that identified DEmiRs and DEMs as potential therapeutic targets and predicted drugs as potential candidates for repurposing against EBV-related tumors.

Moreover, HepG2 presented notably downregulated autophagy-associated proteins, and the increase of miR-3651 further suppressed the autophagy process, but with the intervention of BEZ235, the impacts of miR-3651 were completely reversed. miR-3651 intensifies the growth and invasion of HCC cells through activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, which is probably a breakthrough in the future diagnosis and therapy of HCC.

The current study revealed that hsa-miR-3651 is a predictor of LC in early breast cancer via its putative target protein FRMD3. Since microRNAs interfere in multiple pathways, the results of this hypothesis generating study may contribute to the development of tailored therapies for breast cancer in the future.

The detected 99 miRNAs out of 2549 miRNAs might be used in the clinic as new biological indicators in the diagnosis and follow up of epithelial ovarian cancer with complementary studies. The miRNA expression profiles were identified to be statistically significant in the evaluation of ovarian cancer etiology, BRCA1 mutation status, and ovarian cancer risk in accordance with the obtained data. There is a need for validation of the miRNAs which were particularly detected between monozygotic twins and its association with ovarian cancer was emphasized in our study in wider cohorts including ovarian cancer patients, and healthy individuals.
