We demonstrated that miR-1299 inhibits the progression of NSCLC through the EGFR/PI3K/Akt signal pathway. Therapeutic intervention targeting the miR-1299 may provide a potential strategy for the treatment of NSCLC.

However, the role of miR-106b-5p in the glioblastoma-associated macrophages is poorly understood. In our study, miR-106b-5p and M2 macrophage markers were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting in THP1 cells, with the conditioned medium from U251 cells or M2 macrophages in response to IL-4 stimulation and M1 macrophages stimulated by LPS and IFN-γ. IFN regulatory factor (IRF1) was identified as a target of miR-106b-5p in the glioma infiltrating macrophages by luciferase reporter assay. The molecular mechanisms involved in the miR-106b-5p-mediated regulation of M2 polarization were clarified by shRNA knockdown assay. Our results showed miR-106b-5p expression was upregulated in glioma-infiltrating macrophages. miR-106b-5p regulated M2 polarization of glioma infiltrating macrophages and enhanced the growth of glioma-infiltrating macrophages. IRF1 was identified as a target of miR-106b-5p. Furthermore, miR-106b-5p inhibited IRF1 expression by targeting IRF1/IFN-β pathway to promote M2 polarization of macrophages. miR-106b-5p may inhibit IRF1/IFN-β signaling to promote M2 macrophage polarization of glioblastoma, and it may become a novel target for the treatment of glioblastoma. miR-106b-5p may inhibit IRF1/IFN-β signaling to promote M2 macrophage polarization of glioblastoma, and it may become a novel target for the treatment of glioblastoma. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant tumor that occurs in the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Clinically, radiotherapy is the preferred treatment for NPC, and cervical lymph node metastasis is easy to emerge in the early stage. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role and potential molecular mechanisms of miR-96-5p in NPC cells to develop new therapeutic horizons. The expression of miR-96-5p and CDK1 was measured by RT-qPCR or Western blot. The target relationship between miR-96-5p and CDK1 was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay. CCK-8, sphere formation, flow cytometry and colony formation assay were employed to examine cell viability, stem-like property, apoptosis and cycle, respectively. Male BALB/c nude mice model (6-8 weeks, weigh 18-20 g) was used to evaluate the effect of miR-96-5p on tumor growth in vivo. miR-96-5p was lowly expressed and CDK1 was highly expressed in NPC tissues and cell lines. CDK1 was identified as a direct target of miR-96-5p, and its expression was negatively ric and therapeutic target for NPC.Trifluridine/tipiracil or TAS-102 (Taiho Oncology, Lonsurf®, Princeton, NJ, USA) is a combination tablet of trifluridine, a thymidine-based nucleoside analog, and tipiracil, a thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor, in a 10.5 molar ratio. This drug was first approved for use in metastatic colorectal cancer patients. Recently, the U S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have granted approval of trifluridine/tipiracil for treatment of metastatic gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma in patients following at least two lines of chemotherapy including fluoropyrimidine and platinum chemotherapy agents, as well as taxanes or irinotecan. This approval was granted after the findings from first a Phase II trial (EPOC1201) investigating trifluridine/tipiracil, and later a global Phase III trial (TAGS trial) that compared trifluridine/tipiracil vs placebo with best supportive care. Both trials primarily utilized trifluridine/tipiracil at a dose o
