TFEB Signalling-Related MicroRNAs and Autophagy

Davide Cora et al.

Summary: TFEB, an oncogenic transcription factor, is a key regulator of genes controlling lysosomal biogenesis, autophagy, and vesicle flux. Its activation is modulated by stress factors, with miRNAs playing a role in post-transcriptional regulation. miRNAs are involved in various cellular processes and are important in autophagy.

MiRNA-124 regulates the sensitivity of renal cancer cells to cisplatin-induced necroptosis by targeting the CAPN4-CNOT3 axis

Qingyan Mao et al.

Summary: miR-124 is upregulated by cisplatin in renal cancer cells, reducing sensitivity to cisplatin. CAPN4 is a direct target of miR-124, and its overexpression reverses the effects of miR-124 on cisplatin sensitivity and necroptosis. CAPN4 can interact with and promote the degradation of CNOT3, and upregulating CNOT3 can reverse the cisplatin-resistant phenotype.

The Role of miRNAs during Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Induced Apoptosis in Digestive Cancer

Yujing Zhang et al.

Summary: Despite the lack of full understanding of the exact mechanism for treating digestive cancer, research on the relationship between ER stress and microRNAs has risen in recent years. miRNAs play crucial roles in cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis by affecting the expression of genes related to cancer cell signaling, making them important targets for developing new therapeutic strategies for digestive cancer.
