RESUMEN
Following the publication of this article, a concerned reader drew to the Editor's attention that, in Fig. 9C on p. 2478 showing the results of Transwell invasion assay experiments, unexpected areas of similarity were identified in terms of the cellular patterns revealed both within the data panels for the six different experiments portrayed in this figure, and comparing among them. After having conducted an internal investigation, the Editor of International Journal of Molecular Medicine has reached the conclusion that the overlapping sections of data shown in this figure were unlikely to have arisen by coincidence. Therefore, on the grounds of a lack of confidence in the integrity of these data, the Editor has decided that the article should be retracted from the publication. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused, and thanks the interested reader for drawing this matter to our attention.

RESUMEN
Paclitaxel treatment has been applied for late-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), but therapy failure usually occurs due to paclitaxel resistance. Besides, microRNAs (miRs) delivered by extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been demonstrated as promising biomarkers affecting cancer development. Our work clarified the role of bioinformatically predicted miR-183-5p, which could be delivered by EVs, in the paclitaxel resistance of NPC. Downstream targets of miR-183-5p were predicted in publicly available databases, followed by GO enrichment analysis. A confirmatory dual-luciferase reporter assay determined the targeting relationship between miR-183-5p and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). The shuttling of extracellular miR-183-5p was identified by immunofluorescence. EVs transferred miR-183-5p from paclitaxel-sensitive NPC cells to paclitaxel-resistant NPC cells. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-183-5p and under-expression of P-gp occurred in clinical samples and cells of NPC. High expression of miR-183-5p corresponded to better survival of paclitaxel-treated patients. The effects of manipulated expression of miR-183-5p on NPC cell activities, tumor growth, and paclitaxel resistance were investigated in vitro and in vivo. Its effect was achieved through negatively regulating drug transporters P-gp. Ectopically expressed miR-183-5p enhanced the cancer-suppressive effects of paclitaxel by targeting P-gp, corresponding to diminished cell viability and tumor growth. Taken together, this work goes to elucidate the mechanical actions of miR-183-5p delivered by EVs and its significant contribution towards paclitaxel sensitivity to NPC. 1. This study provides mechanistic insight into the role of miR-183-5p-containing EVs in NPC. 2. The intercellular transportation of miR-183-5p is mediated by EVs in NPC. 3. Overexpressing miR-183-5p facilitates the anti-tumor effects of paclitaxel in NPC. 4. miR-183-5p suppresses paclitaxel resistance of NPC cells by inhibiting P-gp.

BACKGROUND: New data are accumulating on the effects of mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) in cerebrovascular diseases. We explored the potential role of KLF3-AS1-containing bone marrow MSC-EVs (BMSC-EVs) in a rat model of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS: A rat model of SAH was established by endovascular perforation method, into which KLF3-AS1-containing EVs from BMSCs or miR-183-5p mimic were injected. Further, brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) were induced by oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb) to simulate in vitro setting, which were co-cultured with KLF3-AS1-containing EVs from BMSCs. Effects of KLF3-AS1 on neurological deficits in vivo and endothelial cell dysfunction in vitro were investigated. We also performed bioinformatics analysis to predict downstream factors miR-183-5p and TCF7L2, which were verified by RIP, RNA pull-down and luciferase activity assays. RESULTS: BMSC-EVs was demonstrated to alleviate neurological deficits in SAH rats and endothelial cell dysfunction in OxyHb-induced BMECs. In addition, BMSC-EVs were shown to deliver KLF3-AS1 to BMECs, where KLF3-AS1 bound to miR-183-5p and miR-183-5p targeted TCF7L2. In vivo results confirmed that BMSC-EVs regulated the KLF3-AS1/miR-183-5p/TCF7L2 signaling axis to attenuate neurological deficit and endothelial dysfunction after SAH. CONCLUSION: Overall, KLF3-AS1 delivered by BMSC-EVs upregulate TCF7L2 expression by binding to miR-138-5p, thus attenuating neurological deficits and endothelial dysfunction after SAH.

BACKGROUND: Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a severe complication during the treatment of patients with stroke. It has been shown that the expression of SNHG15 was increased in patients with ischemic stroke (IS). However, the function and regulatory mechanism of SNHG15 in IS remains unclear. METHODS: An oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) cell model was use to establish an in vitro model of I/R injury. RT-qPCR assay was used to detect the level of SNHG15 in OGD/R-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Meanwhile, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was used to establish an in vivo model of cerebral I/R injury. RESULTS: The expression of SNHG15 was upregulated in OGD/R-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Downregulation of SNHG15 during reperfusion reduced cell death in OGD/R-treated SH-SY5Y cells. In addition, SNHG15 knockdown suppressed OGD/R-induced apoptosis in SY-SY5Y cells by attenuating intracellular ROS generation and reducing mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) lost. In addition, SNHG15 knockdown promoted cell cycle transition in SY-SY5Y cells after OGD/R insult accompany with PI3K/Akt signaling activation. Meanwhile, mechanism investigations suggested SNHG15 knockdown downregulated the expression of FOXO1 through acting as a competitive 'sponge' of miR-183-5p. Most importantly, knockdown of SNHG15 expression in vivo inhibited neuronal apoptosis and decreased infarct area in MCAO rats. CONCLUSION: Thus, the present study indicated that SNHG15 knockdown protected against cerebral I/R injury via targeting miR-183-5p/FOXO1 axis, which may represent a potential therapeutic option for the treatment of cerebral IS.
RESUMEN
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. The present study aimed to investigate the biological role of microRNA-183-5p (miR-183-5p), a novel tumor-related microRNA (miRNA), in HCC and illuminate the possible molecular mechanisms. The expression patterns of miR-183-5p in clinical samples were characterized using qPCR analysis. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was applied to evaluate the correlation between miR-183-5p expression and overall survival of HCC patients. Effects of miR-183-5p knockdown on HCC cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion capabilities were determined via Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assays, flow cytometry, scratch wound healing assays and Transwell invasion assays, respectively. Mouse neoplasm transplantation models were established to assess the effects of miR-183-5p knockdown on tumor growth in vivo. Bioinformatics analysis, dual-luciferase reporter assays and rescue assays were performed for mechanistic researches. Results showed that miR-183-5p was highly expressed in tumorous tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. Elevated miR-183-5p expression correlated with shorter overall survival of HCC patients. Moreover, miR-183-5p knockdown significantly suppressed proliferation, survival, migration and invasion of HCC cells compared with negative control treatment. Consistently, miR-183-5p knockdown restrained tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, programmed cell death factor 4 (PDCD4) was identified as a direct target of miR-183-5p. Additionally, PDCD4 down-regulation was observed to abrogate the inhibitory effects of miR-183-5p knockdown on malignant phenotypes of HCC cells. Collectively, our data suggest that miR-183-5p may exert an oncogenic role in HCC through directly targeting PDCD4. The current study may offer some new insights into understanding the role of miR-183-5p in HCC.

Differences in microRNA (miRNA) expression after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have been reported in human and animal models, and miRNAs are being investigated as a new treatment for inflammation and oxidative stress after ICH. In this study, we found that microRNA-183-5p expression was decreased in the mouse brain after ICH. To investigate the effect of miRNA-183-5p on injury and repair of brain tissue after ICH, saline, miRNA-183-5p agomir, or miRNA-183-5p antagomir were injected into the lateral ventricles of 8-week-old mice with collagenase-induced ICH. Three days after ICH, mice treated with exogenous miRNA-183-5p showed less brain edema, neurobehavioral defects, inflammation, oxidative stress, and ferrous deposition than control mice. In addition, by alternately treating mice with a heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inducer, a HO-1 inhibitor, a nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) activator, and Nrf2 knockout, we demonstrated an indirect, HO-1-dependent regulatory relationship between miRNA-183-5p and Nrf2. Our results indicate that miRNA-183-5p and HO-1 are promising therapeutic targets for controlling inflammation and oxidative damage after hemorrhagic stroke.

Exosomes play important roles in proliferation and microenvironment modulation of many types of cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the inhibitory effect of CRC cells-derived exosomes in angiogenesis has not been fully discussed. In this study, the roles of microRNA-183-5p (miR-183-5p) in abundant in exosomes secreted from the CRC cells were investigated. Initially, microarray analysis was employed to determine the differentially expressed miRNAs. Exosomes isolated from CRC cells were co-cultured with HMEC-1 cells to explore the role of exosomes in angiogenesis. Further, the effects of CRC cell-derived exosomal miR-183-5p on proliferation, invasion and tube formation abilities of HMEC-1 cells were assessed. The preventative effect of exosomal miR-183-5p in vivo was measured in nude mice. Initially, it was found that FOXO1 was downregulated while miR-183-5p was upregulated in CRC. Additionally, the inhibition of miR-183-5p was suggested to suppress proliferation, invasion and tube formation abilities of HMEC-1 cells through upregulating FOXO1. Then, in vitro assays demonstrated that CRC cell-derived exosomes overexpressing miR-183-5p contributed to an enhanced proliferation, invasion and tube formation abilities of HMEC-1 cells. Furthermore, in vivo experiments confirmed the tumor-promotive effects of CRC cell-derived exosomal miR-183-5p. Collectively, our study demonstrates that the CRC cell-derived exosomes overexpressing miR-183-5p aggravates CRC through the regulation of FOXO1. Exosomes overexpressing miR-183-5p might be a potential treatment biomarker for CRC.

MicroRNAs have been reported to be implicated in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of miR-183-5p on I/R injury. Overexpression of miR-183-5p by agomiR transfection alleviated cardiac dysfunction and significantly reduced the infarct size in rats with myocardial I/R. MiR-183-5p also alleviated myocardial apoptosis with reduced apoptotic cells and lower levels of apoptosis associated proteins. in vitro experiments were conducted on rat H9c2 cells treated with anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R). Annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) staining and flow cytometry reported that the ratio of apoptotic cells decreased by miR-183-5p transfection before A/R treatment. Moreover, according to binding sequence prediction and Dual luciferase reporter assay, we explored that voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1), which aggravates myocardial injury and apoptosis reported in our former research, was a target of miR-183-5p. In conclusion, miR-183-5p can efficiently attenuate I/R injury and miR-183-5p may exert its effect through repressing VDAC1 expression.

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Previous studies revealed that miR-183-5p is frequently involved in various human cancers. However, the exact role of miR-183-5p in regulating the pathogenesis of lung cancer remains unclear. METHOD: Bioinformatic analysis, luciferase reporter assay, and Western blotting was used to investigate whether miR-183-5p directly bound to the 3'UTR of PIK3CA and prevented its translation. Furthermore, an si-miR-183-5p and PIK3CA siRNA was used to evaluate whether PIK3CA expression increased and whether cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability were promoted. RESULTS: miR-183-5p directly bound to the 3'UTR of PIK3CA and prevented its translation. miR-183-5p also acted as a tumor suppressor, and contrary to most studies, its expression was downregulated in lung cancer. Functional studies revealed that overexpression of miR-183-5p reduced cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and that miR-183-5p induced cell cycle arrest and increased cell apoptosis. PIK3CA expression, cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability increased. siRNA-mediated silencing of PIK3CA in lung cancer cells decreased their proliferation and invasive capabilities, suggesting that miR-183-5p inhibited cell proliferation and invasion of lung cancer cells at least partly through downstream targeting of PIK3CA. CONCLUSION: Our studies suggest that miR-183-5p may function as a tumor suppressor in lung cancer via the miR-183-5p/PIK3CA regulatory axis and identify a potentially effective therapeutic strategy for lung cancer.

The aim of the current study was to investigate the potential role of microRNA-183-5p (miR-183-5p) in the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of pancreatic cancer, and to identify promising target genes of oncogenic miR-183-5p. Western blotting and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were used to investigate whether these oncogenic microRNAs may be useful as biomarkers in pancreatic carcinoma (PaCa). Potential target genes were verified using miRDB, PicTar and TargetSCAN, and qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-183 and suppressor of cytokine signaling 6 (SOCS-6; a potential target of miR-183) in PANC-1 PaCa cells and in the HPDE6-C7 pancreatic ductal cell line for comparison. The function of miR-183 in cell proliferation, wound healing, invasion and migration was also investigated using a miR-183 inhibitor. Western blot analysis was used to confirm SOCS-6 as a tumor suppressor and qPCR was used to detect and confirm that this potential target gene is directly regulated by miR-183. The results indicated that the expression of miR-183 in PANC-1 cells was upregulated compared with that in HPDE6-C7 cells, whilst the expression of SOCS-6 was downregulated. SOCS-6 expression was also significantly lower in PaCa tissues compared with that in matched normal pancreatic tissues from PaCa patients. Furthermore, expression of miR-183 was inversely correlated with that of SOCS-6. miR-183 knockdown decreased cell growth and motility in pancreatic cancer cells and significantly increased the expression of SOCS-6. These data suggest that oncogenic miR-183 may be useful as a pancreatic cancer biomarker. In addition, inhibition of miR-183 expression may be beneficial as PaCa treatment. SOCS-6 is a potential target gene of miR-183.
