Cancer Pathways Targeted by Berberine: Role of microRNAs
Curr Med Chem. 2024 Jan 31. doi: 10.2174/0109298673275121231228124031. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCancer is a complex and heterogeneous malignant disease. Due to its multifactorial nature, including progressive changes in genetic, epigenetic, transcript, and protein levels, conventional therapeutics fail to save cancer patients. Evidence indicates that dysregulation of microRNA (miRNA) expression plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis, metastasis, cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, and signaling pathways. Moreover, miRNAs can be used as diagnostic and prognostic markers and therapeutic targets in cancer. Be...

Liver-derived Exosomal miRNA in NAFLD: Mechanisms of Action, Biomarkers, and Therapeutic Applications
Curr Med Chem. 2024 Jan 30. doi: 10.2174/0109298673276581231210170332. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is of global concern due to its high prevalence worldwide. NAFLD, as one of the most common causes of liver function abnormalities, is associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and there are no medications available to treat NAFLD. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized, membrane-bound vesicles that deliver biomolecules between cells. Exosomes are a subtype of EVs that mediate intercellular communication by delivering proteins and RNAs. MicroRNAs ...

Advance of Metformin in Liver Disease
Curr Med Chem. 2024 Jan 30. doi: 10.2174/0109298673274268231215110330. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetformin is a first-line drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes with a good safety profile and relatively low cost. In recent years, many other effects of metformin have been discovered. In this review, we provide the research advances in metformin in liver disease. High-dose metformin can activate AMPK by inhibiting mitochondrial complex 1. In addition, low-dose metformin could activate lysosomal AMPK through PEN2. Activated AMPK can reduce fatty acid synthesis, inhibit tumor proliferation and metastasis, and reshape t...

Association of MiRNA and Bone Tumors: Future Therapeutic Inroads
Curr Med Chem. 2024 Jan 30. doi: 10.2174/0109298673284932231226110754. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSmall endogenous non-coding RNA molecules known as micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) control post-transcriptional gene regulation. A change in miRNA expression is related to various diseases, including bone tumors. Benign bone tumors are categorized based on matrix production and predominant cell type. Osteochondromas and giant cell tumors are among the most common bone tumors. Interestingly, miRNAs can function as either tumor suppressor genes or oncogenes, thereby determining the fate of a tumor. In the present review, we ...
