It focuses on neuropathies and distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN) to explore the potential use of small interfering RNA (siRNA) as a treatment for diabetic neuropathy. Timely identification and management of neuropathy play a critical role in mitigating potential complications. RNAi success depends on understanding factors affecting small interfering RNA (siRNA) functionality and specificity. These include sequence space restrictions, structural and sequence features, mechanisms for nonspecific gene modulation, and chemical modifications. Addressing these factors enhances siRNA performance for efficient gene silencing and confidence in RNAi-mediated genomic studies. Diabetic retinopathy, particularly in South Asian, African, Latin American, and indigenous populations, is a significant concern due to its association with diabetes. Ethnicity plays a crucial role in its development and progression. Despite declining rates in the US, global trends remain concerning, and further research is needed to understand regional differences and reinforce ethnicity-based screening and treatment protocols. In this regard, siRNA emerges as a valuable instrument for early intervention strategies. While presenting promising therapeutic applications, siRNA utilization encounters challenges within insect pest control contexts, thereby providing insights into enhancing its delivery mechanisms for neuropathy treatment purposes. Recent advancements in delivery modalities, such as nanoparticles, allow for the controlled release of siRNA. More investigation is necessary to grasp the safety and efficacy of siRNA technology fully. It holds promise in transforming the treatment of diabetic neuropathy by honing in on particular genes and tackling issues such as inflammation and oxidative stress.

Among them, miR-125b has garnered significant attention due to its multifaceted functional roles in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Extensive research has revealed that miR-125b plays a dual role in HCC, acting as both a tumor suppressor and an oncogene depending on the context. As a tumor suppressor, miR-125b exerts its inhibitory effects on HCC by targeting key oncogenic pathways and genes involved in cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis. Its downregulation in HCC is frequently observed and correlates with aggressive tumor characteristics and poor prognosis. Conversely, miR-125b can also function as an oncogene in specific HCC subtypes or under certain conditions. It has been shown to promote HCC growth, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance by targeting tumor suppressor genes, modulating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, and enhancing cancer stem cell-like properties. The upregulation of miR-125b in HCC has been associated with advanced disease stages and unfavorable clinical outcomes. Furthermore, the dysregulation of miR-125b expression in HCC is influenced by a complex network of regulatory mechanisms. Understanding these regulatory mechanisms is crucial for deciphering the precise functional roles of miR-125b in HCC and exploring its potential as a diagnostic biomarker or therapeutic target.

The rupture of intracranial aneurysms is the main cause. However, in recent years, with the popularization of CT, MRI, and cerebral angiography, the detection rate of unruptured aneurysms has increased, and the incidence of aneurysm rupture and hemorrhage has gradually decreased. However, there are still some patients who fail to detect aneurysms in time and receive treatment, resulting in the occurrence of aneurysm rupture and bleeding, and these patients usually have a poor prognosis and leave a lasting disability. Therefore, exploring the causes of aneurysm formation and the mechanism of brain injury caused by aneurysm rupture is of great significance for preventing aneurysm formation and improving the prognosis of patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are highly conserved non-coding RNAs that can bind to the 3'UTR of target mRNAs to regulate gene expression. Studies have shown that miRNAs can affect the formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysms by participating in apoptosis, inflammation, phagocyte migration, and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) regulation, and regulate the damage of brain tissue after aneurysm rupture. They play a role in multiple pathophysiological processes of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. This article reviews the role of miRNAs in different pathophysiological stages of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). We further described the research progress of miRNAs as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of aSAH and discussed their application prospects in the prevention and treatment of aSAH.</p>","PeriodicalId":10873,"journal":{"name":"Current molecular medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141283195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
