MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs, have garnered significant attention for their involvement in breast cancer's progression. These molecules post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression, influencing crucial cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. This review provides an overview of the current research on the role of miRNAs in breast cancer. It discusses the role of miRNAs in breast cancer, including the different subtypes of breast cancer, their molecular characteristics, and the mechanisms by which miRNAs regulate gene expression in breast cancer cells. Additionally, the review highlights recent studies identifying specific miRNAs that are dysregulated in breast cancer and their potential use as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. Furthermore, the review explores the therapeutic potential of miRNAs in breast cancer treatment. Preclinical studies have shown the effectiveness of miRNA-based therapies, such as antagomir and miRNA mimic therapies, in inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis. Emerging areas, including the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to advance miRNA research and the “One Health” approach that integrates human and animal cancer insights, are also discussed. However, challenges remain before these therapies can be fully translated into clinical practice. In conclusion, this review emphasizes the significance of miRNAs in breast cancer research and their potential as innovative diagnostic and therapeutic tools. A deeper understanding of miRNA dysregulation in breast cancer is essential for their successful application in clinical settings. With continued research, miRNA-based approaches hold promise for improving patient outcomes in this devastating disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":8923,"journal":{"name":"BioFactors","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142725519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antimicrobial activity of this peptide is demonstrated by the minimum inhibitory concentration, while the hemolysis tests and MTT assay indicate its low cytotoxicity. In optical diffraction tomography, red blood cells treated with peptide 3.1 showed no discernible effects, in contrast to indolicidin. However, peptide 3.1 did induce cell lysis in E. coli, leading to a reduced potential for the development of antibiotic resistance. To investigate the mechanism underlying membrane selectivity, the structure of peptide 3.1 was analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. Peptide 3.1 is structured with an increased distinction between hydrophobic and charged residues and remained in close proximity to the eukaryotic membrane. On the other hand, peptide 3.1 exhibited a disordered conformation when approaching the prokaryotic membrane, similar to indolicidin, leading to its penetration into the membrane. Consequently, it appears that the amphipathicity and structural rigidity of peptide 3.1 contribute to its membrane selectivity.

A Spearman correlation and univariate Cox regression analyses combined with differential expression analysis were conducted to detect differentially expressed lysosome-related genes related to prognosis. The prediction of prognostic signature was evaluated by plotting survival curve, ROC, and by developing a nomogram. Immune subtypes, infiltration of immune cells, GSVA, TIDE, IC₅₀ of common chemotherapy and targeted therapy, GO, and KEGG function enrichment analyses were carried out to explore the immune microenvironment of the signature. We constructed a lysosome-related prognostic signature that could function as an independent prognostic indicator for patients with HNSCC.

Consequently, the timely identification of biomarkers associated with lymph node metastasis is essential for improving the clinical management of NSCLC patients. In this research, the WGCNA algorithm was utilized to pinpoint genes linked to lymph node metastasis in NSCLC. A cluster analysis was carried out to investigate how these genes correlate with the prognosis and the outcomes of immunotherapy for NSCLC patients. Following this, diagnostic and prognostic models were created and validated through various machine learning methodologies. The random forest technique highlighted the importance of ARHGAP11A, leading to an in-depth examination of its role in NSCLC. By analyzing 78 tissue chip samples from NSCLC patients, the study confirmed the association between ARHGAP11A expression, patient prognosis, and lymph node metastasis. Finally, the influence of ARHGAP11A on NSCLC cells was assessed through cell function experiments. This research utilized the WGCNA technique to identify 25 genes that are related to lymph node metastasis, clarifying their connections with tumor invasion, growth, and the activation of stemness pathways. Cluster analysis revealed significant associations between these genes and lymph node metastasis in NSCLC, especially concerning immunotherapy and targeted treatments. A diagnostic system that combines various machine learning approaches demonstrated strong efficacy in forecasting both the diagnosis and prognosis of NSCLC. Importantly, ARHGAP11A was identified as a key prognostic gene associated with lymph node metastasis in NSCLC. Molecular docking analyses suggested that ARHGAP11A has a strong affinity for targeted therapies within NSCLC. Additionally, immunohistochemical assessments confirmed that higher levels of ARHGAP11A expression correlate with unfavorable outcomes for NSCLC patients. Experiments on cells showed that reducing ARHGAP11A expression can hinder the proliferation, metastasis, and stemness traits of NSCLC cells. This investigation reveals the novel insight that ARHGAP11A may function as a potential biomarker connected to lymph node metastasis in NSCLC.

Mass spectrometry, immunoprecipitation, and in vitro functional assays were conducted to explore the interaction between USP13 and WISP1 and to assess the effects of USP13 downregulation on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), and apoptosis. Additionally, in vivo experiments using mouse models were performed to evaluate the impact of USP13 knockdown on tumor growth and metastasis.

In vivo, USP13 knockdown significantly inhibited tumor growth and lung metastasis. WISP1 overexpression in USP13-knockdown cells partially rescued these phenotypes, confirming the functional role of the USP13/WISP1 axis.

There are still many obstacles to treating this disease, such as the high cost of chemotherapeutic drugs, the resulting side effects from the drug, and the occurrence of multidrug resistance. Herbaceous plants are a reservoir of natural compounds that can be anticancer drugs with novel mechanisms of action. Piperine, a bioactive compound derived from <i>Piper</i> species, is gaining attention due to its unique dual role in directly inhibiting tumor growth and enhancing the bioavailability of chemotherapeutic drugs. Unlike conventional treatments, Piperine exhibits a novel mechanism of action by modulating multiple signaling pathways, including apoptosis and autophagy, with low toxicity. Additionally, Piperine acts as a bioenhancer by improving the absorption and effectiveness of other anticancer agents, reducing the required dosage, and minimizing side effects. Therefore, this review aims to visualize a summary of Piperine sources, phytochemistry, chemical structure–anticancer activity relationship, anticancer activities of semi-synthetic derivatives, pharmacokinetic and bioavailability, in vitro and in vivo preclinical studies, mechanism of antitumor action, human clinical trials, toxicity, side effects, and safety of Piperine.

In vivo, the anticancer study has also been conducted on some animal models, such as Ehrlich carcinoma-bearing mice, Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells-bearing Balbc mice, hepatocellular carcinoma-bearing Wistar rat, A375SM cells-bearing mice, A375P cells-bearing mice, SNU-16 cells-bearing BalbC mice, and HGC-27-bearing baby mice. Treatment with this compound leads to cell proliferation inhibition and induction of apoptosis. Piperine has been used for clinical trials of diseases, but no cancer patient report exists. Various semi-synthetic derivatives of Piperine show efficacy as an anticancer drug across multiple cell lines.
