MIR520A (MicroRNA 520a)

Overexpression of hsa-miR-520a-3p in NCI-H226 and NCI-H2170 cells increased lipid peroxidation (MDA increased), reduced intracellular GSH, and enhanced RSL3-induced cytotoxicity, indicative of ferroptosis activation. Conversely, MYO19 knockdown elevated ACSL4 and reduced SLC7A11, changes that were partially reversed by MYO19 re-expression. These findings suggest that the hsa-miR-520a-3p/MYO19 axis is associated with ferroptosis susceptibility and may influence the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

Priorities for validation include reporter assays, gene/protein modulation, phenotypic rescue, and in vivo testing in MP-exposed models. Collectively, our results nominate miRNAs as candidate tools to interrogate and potentially mitigate MP-associated carcinogenic mechanisms.

The serum miRNA biomarker panel (miR-378, miR-20a, and miR-520a-3p) could be used as a non-invasive and accurate prognostic predictor of cervical cancer. This panel could be a promising tool in clinical therapeutic strategies to aid in the timely prediction and management of cervical cancer.

The results of this study indicate that microRNA-mediated regulation of DUSP2 in hematologic and solid cancers appears to be a plausible mechanism that contributes to the dysregulation of MAP kinase signaling pathways in cancer by impairing negative feedback regulation. The data provide a solid foundation for future studies to investigate the consequences of regulation of DUSP function in cancer in more depth.

Pharmacological inhibitors, such as penfluridol, synoviolin/HRD1, quercetin, ginsenoside 20(S)-Rg3, triptolide, worenine, acetylsalicylic acid, and salicylic acid, can regulate the advancement of malignancies by inhibiting PFK-1. Thus, PFK-1 is a promising molecular biomarker for cancer treatment. A prospective investigation can validate the unbiased approaches for discovering brandnew PFK-1 inhibitors for cancer treatment.

Additionally, we aimed to summarize the implication of miR-520a as a prognostic factor in malignancies. Finally, we performed comprehensive in-silico analyses to uncover the biological roles of this miRNA and introducing innovative concepts for future research endeavors.

The combination of these three microRNAs encapsulated into lipid nanoparticles prevented lung metastasis in a mouse model of spontaneous metastasis. The mixture of three microRNAs (miR-195-5p/miR-520a/miR-630) holds promise for the development of an antimetastatic therapeutic that blocks tumor cell dedifferentiation, which occurs at secondary tumor sites and determines the transition of micrometastases to macrometastases.

The circulating serum miR-133b and miR-206 can serve as significant biomarkers for monitoring the clinical outcome of progression with metastatic CRC patients. Increased drug-responsive CRC patients associated with crucial molecular intervention should be further explored, clinically.

The study showed that miR-520a actively regulated cell proliferation in acute myeloid leukemia and illustrated the mechanism by which it exerts its regulatory role, emphasizing the possibility of targeting miR-520a as an efficient therapeutic strategy against human acute myeloid leukemia.

Taken together, circ_0038632 promotes breast carcinogenesis through the miR-520a-3p/CDCA3 regulatory cascade, indicating that circ_0038632 may be a potential target for BC treatment.

Moreover, as a kind of T 2 magnetic contrast, miRNA-Fe 2 O 3 @PDA-FA can be used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These findings indicated that miRNA-Fe 2 O 3 @PDA-FA is an effective anti-tumor nanovector for PTT combined with GT. .
