Background
MiRNAs are frequently abnormally expressed in the progression of human osteosarcoma. Phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) is one of the tumor suppressors in various types of human cancer. In the present study, we detected how hsa-miR-30a-3p regulated PTEN and further tested the role of hsa-miR-30a-3p in the cell proliferation of osteosarcoma cells.Methods
The levels of miR-30a were determined by real time PCR. The expression of PTEN was tested by western blotting analysis. Cell distribution of PTEN was observed with confocal laser scanning microscope. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay.Results
The expression of miR-30a and PTEN was obviously decreased in MG-63, 143B and Saos-2 cells compared with primary osteoblasts. TargetScan analysis data showed miR-30a might bind with position 30-57 of 3’UTR of PTEN. Transfection with miR-30a-3p increased the level of PTEN in MG-63 cells, while transfection with miR-30a-3p inhibitor significantly decreased the expression of PTEN in osteosarcoma cells. Transfection with miR-30a-3p significantly inhibited cell proliferation of osteosarcoma cells, while miR-30a inhibitor obviously promoted cell viability of MG63 cells and Saos-2 cells. Inhibition of PTEN eliminated the proliferation inhibitory effect of miR-30a-3p.Conclusion
Thus, all these findings revealed the anti-tumor effects of miR-30a in human osteosarcoma cells, which could be mediated by regulating the level of PTEN.2.
MicroRNA-190b confers radio-sensitivity through negative regulation of Bcl-2 in gastric cancer cells
Objectives
To determine the role of miR-190b in radio-sensitivity of gastric cancer (GC).Results
In radio-resistant GC cells, down-regulation of miR-190b and up-regulation of Bcl-2 were observed. The protein expression of Bcl-2 was negatively regulated by miR-190b. Overexpression of miR-190b significantly decreased cell viability and enhanced radio-sensitivity of GC cells. Of note, these effects of miR-190b on GC cells radio-sensitivity were abolished by Bcl-2.Conclusion
miR-190b confers radio-sensitivity of GC cells, possibly via negative regulation of Bcl-2.3.

Objectives
To investigate whether miR-1260b can regulate migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by targeting RGS22.Results
miR-1260b was up-regulated in HCC tissues compared with their corresponding non-cancerous tissues. Over-expression of miR-1260b increased migration and invasion of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells associated with HCC. Regulator of G-protein signaling 22 (RGS22) was identified as a directly target of miR-1260b and was inhibited by miR-1260b. Knockdown of RGS22 increased proliferation of HCC cells.Conclusions
The new identified miR-1260b/RGS22 axis provides useful therapeutic methods for treatment of HCC deepening on our understanding of underlying mechanisms of HCC tumorigenesis.5.

Background
PTEN is well known to function as a tumor suppressor that antagonizes oncogenic signaling and maintains genomic stability. The PTEN gene is frequently deleted or mutated in human cancers and the wide cancer spectrum associated with PTEN deficiency has been recapitulated in a variety of mouse models of Pten deletion or mutation. Pten mutations are highly penetrant in causing various types of spontaneous tumors that often exhibit resistance to anticancer therapies including immunotherapy. Recent studies demonstrate that PTEN also regulates immune functionality.Objective
To understand the multifaceted functions of PTEN as both a tumor suppressor and an immune regulator.Methods
This review will summarize the emerging knowledge of PTEN function in cancer immunoediting. In addition, the mechanisms underlying functional integration of various PTEN pathways in regulating cancer evolution and tumor immunity will be highlighted.Results
Recent preclinical and clinical studies revealed the essential role of PTEN in maintaining immune homeostasis, which significantly expands the repertoire of PTEN functions. Mechanistically, aberrant PTEN signaling alters the interplay between the immune system and tumors, leading to immunosuppression and tumor escape.Conclusion
Rational design of personalized anti-cancer treatment requires mechanistic understanding of diverse PTEN signaling pathways in modulation of the crosstalk between tumor and immune cells.6.

Objectives
To explore the functional effects of miR-1284 on gastric cancer cells.Results
Overexpression of miR-1284 significantly reduced SGC-7901 cell proliferation, but improved apoptosis. However, miR-1284 suppression displayed the inversed impacts. Furthermore, the protein levels of p27, Bax, procaspase-3 and active caspase-3 were up-regulated by miR-1284 overexpression, but were down-regulated by miR-1284 suppression. The level of Bcl-2 was down-regulated by miR-1284 overexpression, while it was up-regulated by miR-1284 suppression. The level of p21 was unaffected.Conclusion
These results suggest that miR-1284 overexpression might be a suppressor for gastric cancer via controlling of cell proliferation and apoptosis.7.

Background
Weaning stress affects the small intestine of piglets. MiR-146b is differentially expressed in suckling and weaned piglets. In this study, we evaluated the effects of miR-146b on cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis in IPEC-J2 cells.Results
Transfection with miR-146b mimics successfully increased miR-146b levels by 1000× (P?<?0.001). The over-expression of miR-146b significantly promoted the apoptosis (P?<?0.01) of IPEC-J2 cells, with no significant effects on cell viability or proliferation. MiR-146b suppressed the luciferase activity of the miR-TLR4-wt by 57% compared with the negative control, while mutation of the miR-146b binding site significantly blocked the suppressive effect (P?<?0.05). Western blot results showed that TLR4 levels decreased in IPEC-J2 cells transfected with miR-146b mimics (P?<?0.05).Conclusions
The over-expression of miR-146b promotes IPEC-J2 cell apoptosis. TLR4 is a direct target of miR-146b in IPEC-J2 cells.Reviewers

Background
The HER3 receptor functions as a major cause of drug resistance in cancer treatment. It is believed that therapeutic targeting of HER3 is required to improve patient outcomes. It is not clear whether a novel strategy with two functional cooperative miRNAs would effectively inhibit erbB3 expression and potentiate the anti-proliferative/anti-survival effects of a HER2-targeted therapy (trastuzumab) and chemotherapy (paclitaxel) on HER2-overexpressing breast cancer cells.Results
Combination of miR-125a and miR-205, as compared to either miRNA alone, potently inhibited expression of HER3 in HER2-overexpressing breast cancer BT474 cells. Co-expression of the two miRNAs not only reduced the levels of phosphorylated erbB3 (P-erbB3), Akt (P-Akt), and Src (P-Src), it also inhibited cell proliferation and increased cells at G1 phase. A multi-miRNA lentiviral vector - the cluster of miR-125a and miR-205 - was constructed to simultaneously express the two miRNAs in HER2-overexpressing breast cancer cells. Concurrent expression of miR-125a and miR-205 via the miRNA cluster transfection significantly enhanced trastuzumab-mediated growth inhibition and cell cycle G1 arrest in BT474 cells and markedly increased paclitaxel-induced apoptosis in another HER2-overexpressing breast cancer cell line HCC1954.Conclusions
Here, we showed that functional cooperative miRNAs effectively suppressed erbB3 expression. This novel approach targeting of HER3 was able to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of trastuzumab and paclitaxel against HER2-overexpressing breast cancer.10.

Objectives
To study the roles and mechanisms of HuR in cancer stem cell maintenance of lung cancer.Results
HuR expression was increased in tumor spheres of lung cancer cells. Knockdown of HuR suppressed spheroid formation and size, inhibited the expression of stemness-related marker, Oct4, Nanog and ALDH in lung cancer cells. Importantly, HuR and CDK3 expressions were increased in lung cancer tissues compared with normal adjacent tissues, and positively correlated. Mechanistically, HuR directly bound to CDK3, and increased CDK3 mRNA stability and expression. Additionally, miR-873 or miR-125a-3p attenuated the promotion of HuR on CDK3 expression and lung cancer stemness. Furthermore, HuR facilitated lung cancer stemness dependent on CDK3 expression. miR-873 or miR-125a-3p level was negatively correlated with HuR and CDK3 expression levels in lung cancer tissues.Conclusions
HuR facilitates lung cancer stemness via regulating miR-873/CDK3 and miR-125a-3p/CDK3 axis.12.

Introduction
Hypoxia commonly occurs in cancers and is highly related with the occurrence, development and metastasis of cancer. Treatment of triple negative breast cancer remains challenge. Knowledge about the metabolic status of triple negative breast cancer cell lines in hypoxia is valuable for the understanding of molecular mechanisms of this tumor subtype to develop effective therapeutics.Objectives
Comprehensively characterize the metabolic profiles of triple negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 in normoxia and hypoxia and the pathways involved in metabolic changes in hypoxia.Methods
Differences in metabolic profiles affected pathways of MDA-MB-231 cells in normoxia and hypoxia were characterized using GC–MS based untargeted and stable isotope assisted metabolomic techniques.Results
Thirty-three metabolites were significantly changed in hypoxia and nine pathways were involved. Hypoxia increased glycolysis, inhibited TCA cycle, pentose phosphate pathway and pyruvate carboxylation, while increased glutaminolysis in MDA-MB-231 cells.Conclusion
The current results provide metabolic differences of MDA-MB-231 cells in normoxia and hypoxia conditions as well as the involved metabolic pathways, demonstrating the power of combined use of untargeted and stable isotope-assisted metabolomic methods in comprehensive metabolomic analysis.13.

Background
Nowadays, more breast cancer patients want to have children after the diagnosis of cancer. The purpose of this study is to review the possibility and risks of giving birth among women with breast cancer previously treated by chemotherapy.Case presentation
Two young women aged 28 and 34 respectively, were treated in our clinic for breast cancer, the first (negative hormonal receptors) by surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy and the second (positive hormonal receptors) by surgery, radiotherapy and tamoxifen. They both became pregnant, 1 and 8 years after completion of the therapy respectively.Results
Laboratory testing during pregnancy was negative in both cases and after an uneventful course each woman gave birth to a perfectly healthy child. The first patient breastfed her baby for three months, while the second one did not breastfeed her baby at all.Conclusion
Women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer can maintain their fertility and get pregnant. Previous chemotherapy for breast cancer does not present any supplementary risks for the child's mental or physical health.14.

Objective
To evaluate the role and the molecular mechanism of miR-30d in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Results
qRT-PCR was used to detect miR-30d expression in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. miR-30d was frequently down-regulated in NSCLC and its expression was associated with clinicopathological features of NSCLCC patients. Over-expression of miR-30d notably inhibited cell migration and invasion in NSCLC cell lines. miR-30d could negatively regulate Nuclear factor I B (NFIB) by directly targeting its 3′-UTR, which was confirmed by luciferase assay. NFIB also reversed miR-30d-mediated suppression on the migration and invasion in NSCLC cell lines.Conclusion
miR-30d suppressed cell migration and invasion by directly targeting NFIB in NSCLC, and NFIB could partially abrogated the inhibition of biological functions by miR-30d.15.

Objective
To investigate the roles of miR-145 in lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) and to clarify the regulation of N-cadherin by miR-145.Results
In 57 paired clinical LAC tissues, diminished miR-145 was significantly correlated with the lymph node metastasis and was negatively correlated with N-cadherin mRNA level expression. Wound healing and transwell assays revealed a reduced capability of tumor metastasis induced by miR-145 in LAC. miR-145 negatively regulated the invasion of cell lines through targeting N-cadherin by directly binding to its 3′-untranslated region. Silencing of N-cadherin inhibited invasion and migration of LAC cell lines similar to miR-145 overexpression.Conclusions
MiR-145 could inhibit invasion and migration of lung adenocarcinoma cell lines by directly targeting N-cadherin.16.

Introduction
Globally, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and ranks second most common cause of cancer related mortality. Although efforts are made by researchers in molecular characterization of breast cancer using “-OMIC’S” approaches, limited work has explored to understand the phospholipid alterations in breast cancer.Objectives
This study aims to explore five classes of serum phospholipid alterations in breast cancer towards discrimination of breast cancer from benign and healthy controls.Methods
Twenty eight each of breast cancer patients and age-matched benign and healthy control serum samples were used to identify alterations of phospholipids using liquid chromatography-multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry. Both multivariate and univariate statistical analyses were applied to investigate breast cancer associated phospholipid alterations. Differentially expressed phospholipid species were further confirmed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).Results
Among the identified and quantified 200 phospholipids, 25 phospholipids were found to be statistically significant (VIP > 1.4 and ANOVA p < 0.05) in the serum of women with breast cancer when compared with benign and healthy controls. Comparison of serum phospholipids of breast cancer patients and healthy controls revealed 12 phospholipids were found to be differentially expressed in which six were up-regulated and six were down-regulated. While comparative analysis of breast cancer serum against benign showed an increased concentration of six phospholipids in breast cancer samples. Further, significantly altered phospholipids were structurally characterized by enhanced product ion scanning.Conclusion
Our results demonstrate that some of the differentially regulated phospholipids identified in our study such as PE (14:1/16:0), PC (18:0/18:0), LPE 14:0, PE (20:0/22:2) could be a panel of potential signature which can discriminate breast cancer from benign and healthy controls. These findings also provide insight into lipidomic information that can be used for monitoring of breast cancer progression.17.
Background
Regulating cardiac differentiation to maintain normal heart development and function is very important. At present, biological functions of H19 in cardiac differentiation is not completely clear.Methods
To explore the functional effect of H19 during cardiac differentiation. Expression levels of early cardiac-specific markers Nkx-2.5 and GATA4, cardiac contractile protein genes α-MHC and MLC-2v were determined by qRT-PCR and western lot. The levels of lncRNA H19 and miR-19b were detected by qRT-PCR. We further predicted the binding sequence of H19 and miR-19b by online softwares starBase v2.0 and TargetScan. The biological functions of H19 and Sox6 were evaluated by CCK-8 kit, cell cycle and apoptosis assay and caspase-3 activity.Results
The expression levels of α-MHC, MLC-2v and H19 were upregulated, and miR-19b was downregulated significantly in mouse P19CL6 cells at the late stage of cardiac differentiation. Biological function analysis showed that knockdown of H19 promoted cell proliferation and inhibits cell apoptosis. H19 suppressed miR-19b expression and miR-19b targeted Sox6, which inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis in P19CL6 cells during late-stage cardiac differentiation. Importantly, Sox6 overexpression could reverse the positive effects of H19 knockdown on P19CL6 cells.Conclusion
Downregulation of H19 promoted cell proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis during late-stage cardiac differentiation by regulating the negative role of miR-19b in Sox6 expression, which suggested that the manipulation of H19 expression could serve as a potential strategy for heart disease.18.

Aims
This paper describes a simple technique of axillary and breast massage which improves the successful identification of blue sentinel nodes using patent blue dye alone.Methods
Patent blue dye was injected in the subdermal part of the retroaroelar area in 167 patients having surgical treatment for invasive breast cancer. Three stage axillary lymphatic massage was performed prior to making the axillary incision for sentinel lymph node biopsy. All patients had completion axillary sampling or clearance.Results
A blue lymphatic duct leading to lymph nodes of the first drainage was identified in 163 (97%) of the patients. Results are compared with 168 patients who had sentinel lymph node biopsy using blue dye without axillary massage. Allergic reactions were observed in four patients (1.2%).Conclusion
Three stage axillary lymphatic massage improves the successful identification of a blue sentinel lymph node in breast cancer patients.19.

Background
Knockdown of Akt1 promotes Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition in breast cancer cells. However, the mechanisms are not completely understood.Methods
Western blotting, immunofluorescence, luciferase assay, real time PCR, ELISA and Matrigel invasion assay were used to investigate how Akt1 inhibition promotes breast cancer cell invasion in vitro. Mouse model of lung metastasis was used to measure in vivo efficacy of Akt inhibitor MK2206 and its combination with Gefitinib.Results
Knockdown of Akt1 stimulated β-catenin nuclear accumulation, resulting in breast cancer cell invasion. β-catenin nuclear accumulation induced by Akt1 inhibition depended on the prolonged activation of EGFR signaling pathway in breast cancer cells. Mechanistic experiments documented that knockdown of Akt1 inactivates PIKfyve via dephosphorylating of PIKfyve at Ser318 site, resulting in a decreased degradation of EGFR signaling pathway. Inhibition of Akt1 using MK2206 could induce an increase in the expression of EGFR and β-catenin in breast cancer cells. In addition, MK2206 at a low dosage enhance breast cancer metastasis in a mouse model of lung metastasis, while an inhibitor of EGFR tyrosine kinase Gefitinib could potentially suppress breast cancer metastasis induced by Akt1 inhibition.Conclusion
EGFR-mediated β-catenin nuclear accumulation is critical for Akt1 inhibition-induced breast cancer metastasis.20.
