To facilitate rapid, efficient, and accurate detection of miR-96-5p associated with gastric cancer (GC), we developed a bioanalytical platform by integrating surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy with lateral flow assay (SERS-LFA). With these SERS-LFA strips, miR-96-5p within the specimen competed with Au rhombic dodecahedron (AuRD) conjugated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to bond to the immobilized hairpin DNA (hpDNA) probe on the T line. Consequently, higher abundance of miR-96-5p led to reduced conjugation of AuRD on the T line, thereby resulting in diminished SERS intensity. The biosensor exhibited a detection time of approximately 30 min and demonstrated a low limit of detection (LOD) for miR-96-5p in PBS buffer solution, down to 3.7 fM. To validate its clinical utility for the early diagnosis of patients with different degrees of gastric lesions, we performed quantitative evaluations in cohorts that included healthy individuals, patients with mild intraepithelial neoplasia, patients with severe intraepithelial neoplasia, as well as patients diagnosed with GC. The results obtained from the SERS-LFA strips were in agreement with those obtained from the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Given the accomplishments, this biosensor has significant potential for the clinical diagnosis of GC, offering a promising avenue for timely detection and improved patient prognoses.

Chronic ototoxicity of β-diketone antibiotics ( DKAs) to zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) was explored in detail by following abnormal expressions of two hearing-related miRNAs. Dose-dependent down-regulation of miR-96 and miR-184 was observed in otoliths during embryonic-larval development. Continuous DKA exposure to 120-hpf larva decreased sensitivity to acoustic stimulation. Development of otolith was delayed in treatment groups, showing unclear boundaries and vacuolization at 72-hpf, and utricular enlargement as well as decreased saccular volume in 96-hpf or latter larval otoliths. If one miRNA was knocked-down and another over-expressed, only a slight influence on morphological development of the otic vesicle occurred, but knocked-down or over-expressed miRNA both significantly affected zebrafish normal development. Injection of miR-96, miR-184 or both micRNA mimics to yolk sac resulted in marked improvement of otic vesicle phenotype. However, hair cell staining showed that only the injected miR-96 mimic restored hair cell numbers after DKA exposure, demonstrating that miR-96 played an important role in otic vesicle development and formation of hearing, while miR-184 was only involved in otic vesicle construction during embryonic development . These observations advance our understanding of hearing loss owing to acute antibiotic exposure and provide theoretical guidance for early intervention and gene therapy for drug-induced diseases.

Hypertension seems to inevitably cause cardiac remodeling, increasing the mortality of patients. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein delta (CEBPD)–mediated oxidative stress and inflammation in hypertensive cardiac remodeling. The hypertensive murine model was established through angiotensin-II injection, and hypertensive mice underwent overexpressed CEBPD vector injection, cardiac function evaluation, and observation of histological changes. The cell model was established by angiotensin-II treatment and transfected with overexpressed CEBPD vector. Cell viability and surface area and oxidative stress (reactive oxygen species/superoxide dismutase/lactate dehydrogenase/malondialdehyde) were assessed, and inflammatory factors (TNF-α/IL-1β/IL-6/IL-10) were determined both in vivo and in vitro . The levels of CEBPD, miR-96-5p, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor 1 (IP3R), natriuretic peptide B, and natriuretic peptide A, collagen I, and collagen III in tissues and cells were determined. The binding relationships of CEBPD/miR-96-5p/IP3R 3′ untranslated region were validated. CEBPD was reduced in cardiac tissue of hypertensive mice, and CEBPD upregulation improved cardiac function and attenuated fibrosis and hypertrophy, along with reductions of reactive oxygen species/lactate dehydrogenase/malondialdehyde/TNF-α/IL-1β/IL-6 and increases in superoxide dismutase/IL-10. CEBPD enriched on the miR-96-5p promoter to promote miR-96-5p expression, whereas CEBPD and miR-96-5p negatively regulated IP3R. miR-96-5p silencing/IP3R overexpression reversed the alleviative role of CEBPD overexpression in hypertensive mice. In summary, CEBPD promoted miR-96-5p to negatively regulate IP3R expression to inhibit oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby alleviating hypertensive cardiac remodeling.

Emerging studies show that circRNA catenin beta 1 (circCTNNB1) plays a critical role in cancer. However, the expression and function of circCTNNB1 in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) have not been reported. The present study discovered that circCTNNB1 and scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SRB1) expression levels were significantly down-regulated in mouse astrocytes (mAS) treated with oxygen glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R), and similar results were observed in a mouse middle cerebral artery occlusion model. Overexpression of circCTNNB1 alleviated cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and the inflammatory response induced by OGD/R in vitro. Up-regulation of circCTNNB1 increased SRB1 expression levels to protect mAS cells from OGD/R-induced damage. CircCTNNB1 and SRB1 interacted with miR-96-5p, and the overexpression of miR-96-5p efficiently reversed the function of circCTNNB1 in OGD/R-treated mAS cells. CircCTNNB1 protected against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by up-regulating SRB1 in vivo. In conclusion, our findings suggest that circCTNNB1 acts as a competitive endogenous RNA for miR-96-5p to alleviate cerebral IRI, which provides novel evidence that circCTNNB1 and SRB1 may be biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cerebral IRI.
