This study indicated that GSH suppressed the number of ACF, but the attenuation of colon carcinogenesis was limited to the number of colon cancers, although anti-oxidative effects and suppressive effects of arachidonic acid cascade were demonstrated by several indexes. These results suggested that colon carcinogenesis enhanced by beef tallow was partly caused by oxidative stress and arachidonic acid cascade, which were reduced by GSH.

Background: miR-106b has been reported to play a vital role in pathogenesis of some types of cancer, whilst the role of miR-106b in renal carcinoma cancer (RCC) remains unknown. Purpose: The objective of this study was to identify the mechanism of miR-106b regulating the progression of renal carcinoma. Method: The expression of miR-106b was analyzed in RCC cell lines, RCC and adjacent normal renal tissues through qRT-PCR assays. Target mRNA of miR-106b was predicted with databases and verified by luciferase reporter assays. And the effects of miR-106b or targeted mRNA on cell proliferation, invasion, the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) were assessed in vitrothrough CCK-8, transwell cell invasion assays, qRT-PCR and Western blotting assays respectively. In addition, the effects of miR-106b on the growth of xenografts mice were analyzedin vivo. Results: The results demonstrated that miR-106b was significantly increased both in RCC tissues and cell lines. Luciferase reporter assays revealed that miR-106b inhibited Capicua expression by targeting its 3ʹ-UTR sequence. And miR-106b promoted cell proliferation, invasion, EMT progression in RCC cellin vitro, as well as promoted the tumor growth of 786-O cells derived xenografts mice. Additionally, loss of Capicua promoted the activation of MAPK signaling pathway. Conclusion: The study suggested that miR-106b regulated RCC progression through MAPK signaling pathway partly by targeting Capicua, which might provide valuable evidence for therapeutic target development of RCC.

As a deacetylase relying on NAD, sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) has been proven to inhibit osteoclastogenesis directly by repressing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and TRPV1 channel stimulation modulated by TNF-α. MicroRNAs do not have coding functions, but they influence the expression of particular genes after transcription.Nevertheless, the current understanding of the impact of SIRT1 on osteoclastogenesis is insufficient. Our research explored whether and how miRNAs contributed to osteoclast differentiation modulated by SIRT1 in vitro. In osteoclastogenesis induced by RANKL in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs), repression of SIRT1 expression and enhancement of miR-506 expression were discovered. Transfection with an miR-506 inhibitor repressed miR-506 concentration in BMMs treated with RANKL. Additional research revealed that BMMs with repressed miR-506 treated with RANKL displayed phenotypes with suppressed osteoclastogenesis, as demonstrated by TRAP staining, reduced function, decreased expression of osteoclast markers and correlated genes, and reduced multinuclear cell quantity. Bioinformatics prediction outcomes and the dual-luciferase reporter test suggested that miR-506 targeted the SIRT1 3′-UTR for silencing. Decreased miR-506 in BMMs induced by RANKL caused SIRT1 upregulation. Additionally, treatment with EX-527 (SIRT1 repressor) or SIRT1 silencing attenuated repression caused by miR-506 depletion in BMMs treated with RANKL. Furthermore, TNF-α was repressed via miR-506 inhibition but was enhanced following EX-527 incubation as well as SIRT1 depletion.TRPV1 channel stimulation and ROS generation, which was related to osteoclastogenesis, were reduced via miR-506 depletion. miR-506 modulated osteoclastogenesis by targeting SIRT1 expression in part through modulation of the TRPV1 channel, ROS production, and TNF-α.
