MicroRNAs as early diagnostic biomarkers for non-small cell lung cancer (Review)

Xindi Liang et al.

Summary: Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related death, and early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving the survival rate. MiRNAs have emerged as promising biomarkers for lung cancer due to their high sensitivity and specificity. In the regulation of non-small cell lung cancer, miRNAs play important roles as oncogenic factors, tumor suppressors, and regulators. Dysfunctional miRNAs negatively regulate target genes involved in cell proliferation, invasion, apoptosis, cell cycle disorder, and angiogenesis. This review provides a summary of the biological process and recent advances in the mechanisms of miRNAs in tumor formation and development, with a focus on their potential for early diagnosis of lung cancer through circulating free and extracellular vesicles.

Anchoring red blood cell with tetrahedral DNA nanostructure: Electrochemical biosensor for the sensitive signage of circulating tumor DNA

Xinyue Zha et al.

Summary: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have become a focus of research due to their ability to spread from the primary tumor to other tissues through peripheral blood. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), released by CTCs and other tumor cells, is considered a promising substance for clinical detection. A biocompatible electrochemical biosensor was developed using tetrahedral DNA (TDN) attached to red blood cells and methylene blue (MB) as a signal probe, enabling efficient and rapid detection of ctDNA. The TDN-based biosensor showed linear correlation between current signal and logarithm of ctDNA concentration in the range of 1 fM to 100 pM, with a detection limit of 0.66 fM. This specific and sensitive biosensor can effectively detect ctDNA in real biological environments such as serum, providing potential opportunities for early clinical diagnosis.

Summary: Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the world. The presence of pathogenic microbiota, such as Helicobacter pylori, is an important risk factor for the development of alimentary tract cancers. This study investigated the mutational landscape of F. nucleatum-positive gastric cancer tissues and identified genetic aberrations, including activating mutations of ERBB2, ERBB3, and PIK3CA, disrupted TP53, and high tumor mutational burden, all of which were associated with poor prognosis. These findings suggest that F. nucleatum infection and tumor mutational burden are strong biomarkers for the prognosis of gastric cancer.
