MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules with 21 to 24 nucleotides in length, which can regulate post-transcriptional gene expression by interacting with the 3' untranslated regions of the target mRNAs. MiRNAs are widely expressed in eukaryotic cells and involved in a variety of biological processes, such as in the development, differentiation, proliferation, and apop-tosis of cells. They also play essential roles in cell cycle regulation, migration, and tumor development. MicroRNA expression varies in different human tumors and is considered a powerful potential biological indicator in the development, diagnosis, treatment, and progno-sis of cancers. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies, and miRNA expression has been found to be differentially ex-pressed in various types of breast cancer. The expression and function of some miRNAs involved in breast cancer development, metasta-sis, and treatments are briefly summarized in this review.

Objective:To investigate the effect of 5F on proliferation and apoptosis of human pancreatic cancer.Methods:The pcDNA3.1-PUMAAS and pcDNA3.1 were transfected into AsPC-1 cells by Lipofectamine 2000 methods,stable transfected clony was chosen through G418.AsPC-1 cells were divided into three groups:transfected pcDNA3.1-PUMAAS,transfected pcDNA3.1 and control group without transfection AsPC-1 cells.Three groups was treated with serial concentrations(8.875,37.5,142?mol/L,respectively)of 5F 10?L.MTT assay was used to observe the inhibitory actions of 5F on AsPC-1 cells.The apoptotic rate of the cells was detected by flow cytometry.And the apoptosis was assessed by Hoechst 33258 dye staining and TUNEL staining.The expression of PUMA protein was detected by Western blotting and RT-PCR.Results:The inhibitory action on cell growth was seen in AsPC-1 control cells and pcDNA3.1-cells dealing with 5F.It could also promote the occurrence of apoptosis.5F inhibited the proliferation of AsPC-1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.The apoptosis induced by 5F was accompanied with the up-regulation of PUMA.In cells treated with 5F,the apoptosis rate decreased greatly and proliferation rate increased compared with the AsPC-1 control cells and pcDNA3.1-cells dealing with 5F.The expression of PUMA was decreased greatly comparing with pcDNA3.1-cells treated with 5F,Conclusion:5F can depress the proliferation of AsPC-1 cell in vitro,mainly through the induction of apoptosis,and it was a potential agent for pancreatic cancer chemotherapy,the mechanism was probably related to its effect on the regulation of PUMA expression.

Objective To evaluate the impact of the growth speed of cerebral infarction on the occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage(sICH)in patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke after mechanical thrombectomy.Methods The clinical data of patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS),who received mechanical thrombectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University of China from June 2016 to December 2022,were retrospectively analyzed.After thrombectomy,the patients were divided into sICH group and non-sICH group according to Heidelberg criteria.The clinical data and imaging findings were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for sICH after thrombectomy,and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)was used to evaluate the efficacy of the growth speed of cerebral infarction in predicting sICH.Results A total of 218 patients were enrolled in this study,sICH group had 23 patients and non-sICH group had 195 patients.The differences in NIHSS score,collateral circulation status,core infarction volume,and growth speed of cerebral infarction between the two groups were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that rapid growth speed of cerebral infarction was an independent risk factor for sICH occurring after mechanical thrombectomy.For predicting sICH,the sensitivity and specificity of the growth speed of cerebral infarction were 78.3％and 69.7％respectively,with an AUC of 0.751 and a predicted value of 7.6 mL/h.Conclusion The rapid growth speed of cerebral infarction is a predictive factor for sICH occurring after mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke.The risk of sICH becomes higher after mechanical thrombectomy when the growth speed of cerebral infarction is faster than 7.6 mL/h.
