Multiple myeloma is a frequent hematologic malignancy. Bortezomib is the first-line drug for multiple myeloma chemotherapy. The present study aimed to investigate the potential role and mechanism of circular RNA chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 3 (circ-CCT3) in bortezomib resistance of multiple myeloma . The levels of circ-CCT3, microRNA-223-3p ( miR-223-3p ), and bromodomain-containing 4 (BRD4) were detected by quantitative real-time PCR or western blot. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) method was used to measure the half-inhibitory concentration of bortezomib and cell viability. Cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, proliferation and migration were determined by flow cytometry, 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine, and wound healing assay. The levels of relevant proteins were checked via western blot. The binding association between miR-223-3p and circ-CCT3/BRD4 was validated via a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Circ-CCT3 and BRD4 were upregulated, while miR-223-3p was downregulated in bortezomib -resistant multiple myeloma patients and cells. Silencing of circ-CCT3 enhanced the sensitivity of bortezomib -resistant multiple myeloma cells to bortezomib . Circ-CCT3 knockdown weakened bortezomib resistance via modulating miR-223-3p . Moreover, miR-223-3p increased bortezomib sensitivity by inhibiting BRD4. Downregulation of circ-CCT3 attenuated bortezomib resistance of multiple myeloma via regulating miR-223-3p /BRD4 pathway, which provided a new potential target for multiple myeloma chemoresistance.

The larynx is an important organ of human speech, and patients with laryngeal cancer may face great pain of losing their functions. For the prevention and therapy of laryngeal carcinoma, two new Zn(II)/Cd(II) coordination polymers, namely [Zn 3 (L) 2 (4,4′-bipy)] n ·2n(DMF) ( 1 ) and [Cd 3 (L) 2 (bpp 2 ) n ·2n(H 2 O)·2n(DMF) ( 2 ) (H 3 L = 4,4′,4′′-ticarboxytriphenylamine, 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), were prepared. The treatment and protection activity of the new compounds against the laryngeal carcinoma was evaluated in this research, and the corresponding mechanism was explored at the same time. Firstly, CCK-8 assay was conducted to measure the inhibitory activity of compounds on the viability of laryngeal carcinoma cells. Additionally, the expression of miR-223-3P in MSC exosomes was also measured by real time RT-PCR assay.

Apoptosis and functional loss of articular chondrocytes serve as initiating events in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA), and FoxO3 represents a critical molecule for sustaining chondrocyte homeostasis. This study investigates the regulatory mechanism of the lncRNA‐OIP5‐AS1/hsa‐miRNA‐223‐3p/FoxO3 axis in TMJOA, aiming to identify potential therapeutic targets for this disease. Single‐cell database analysis first revealed markedly reduced FoxO3 expression in TMJOA‐derived chondrocytes. A rat TMJOA model was then constructed and assigned to control, model, and FoxO3 overexpression groups; micro‐CT and histological staining, including HE and Safranin O‐fast green staining, were applied to assess articular cartilage injury, while immunohistochemistry was used to detect cartilage‐associated proteins Col2a1, MMP‐13, Aggrecan, and ADAMTS‐5. Further in vitro experiments validated the chondroprotective function of FoxO3 as well as the binding interaction between FoxO3 and rno‐miRNA‐223‐3p. Database screening confirmed significant down‐regulation of FoxO3 in TMJOA cartilage. Animal experiments demonstrated that FoxO3 overexpression mitigated chondrocyte injury in rat TMJOA lesions, increased Col2a1 and Aggrecan levels, and suppressed MMP‐13 and ADAMTS‐5 expression. Cellular assays showed that FoxO3 overexpression enhanced chondrocyte proliferation and matrix synthesis and preserved chondrocyte function. Sequencing and cellular evidence indicated that rno‐miRNA‐223‐3p directly targets FoxO3 mRNA to repress its transcription and negatively modulate FoxO3 abundance, consequently aggravating chondrocyte apoptosis. Collectively, rno‐miRNA‐223‐3p suppresses FoxO3 activity to facilitate TMJOA pathogenesis, and the lncRNA‐OIP5‐AS1/rno‐miRNA‐223‐3p/FoxO3 regulatory cascade may act as a promising molecular target for TMJOA clinical intervention.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) refers to the deterioration of cardiac function after restoring ischemic myocardium perfusion. Stem cell exosomes have produced unique advantages in treating MI/RI. However, the roles of exosomal microRNA-223-3p (miR-223-3p) from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) on MI/RI are still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of exosomal miR-223-3p from ADSCs on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced H9c2 cell injuries. Our findings indicated that the separated ADSC-derived exosomes (ADSC-Exo) were spherical, with a complete cell membrane, an average diameter of 110 nm, and CD9 and CD63 expression. ADSC-Exo increased the cell viability, proliferation, glutathione (GSH) level, and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and miR-223-3p expression and decreased the apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and Fe2+ levels and acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 (ACSL4) and transferrin receptor (TFRC) expression of H9c2 cells. Overexpressing exosomal miR-223-3p from ADSCs further strengthened the effects of ADSC-Exo on H9c2 cells. Overexpressing TFRC in H9c2 cells effectively reversed the effects of miR-223-3p overexpressed ADSC-Exo on H9c2 cells. In addition, miR-223-3p targeted and negatively regulated TFRC. This study confirmed that exosomal miR-223-3p from ADSCs alleviated H/R-induced ferroptosis of H9c2 cells by inhibiting TFRC, providing a novel target and pathway for the clinical treatment of MI/RI.
