RESUMO
Gastric cancer （GC） is one of the most common malignant tumors in the digestive system， with high morbidity and mortality. Early clinical symptoms of GC are not obvious， and most of them have entered the advanced stage after discovery， which greatly reduces the clinical cure rate and affects the quality of life of patients， and the prognosis is very poor. In recent years， with the continuous exploration in the field of bioinformatics， it has been found that micro-RNA （miRNA） and long non-coding RNA （lncRNA） exist as non-coding RNA （ncRNA） without translation ability， and regulate the expression levels of related signal proteins by acting on a certain target， thereby activating or inhibiting a certain signaling pathway， which plays an important role in assisting diagnosis， guiding clinical medication， and judging prognosis in the progress of GC. Chinese medicine is easily accepted by patients because of its good curative effect and less side effects. In the present basic studies， with the interaction mechanism between miRNA， lncRNA and signaling pathways as the breakthrough point， various studies on the regulation of related signaling molecules and signaling pathways by Chinese medicine have been carried out. A large number of experimental data have proved that the development of GC is closely related to the interaction of miRNA， lncRNA， and related signaling pathways， and Chinese medicine， with multi-target， multi-mechanism， and multi-pathway characteristics， affects various signaling molecules and signaling pathways and intervenes in the progress of GC cells. This paper reviewed the basic research on lncRNA， miRNA molecules， and main signaling pathways involved in the occurrence and development of GC， and summarized specific molecular mechanisms of Chinese medicine in the regulation of each signaling pathway， hoping to provide references for modern research of Chinese medicine in the intervention of GC progress at the molecular level.
RESUMO
Adipose tissue is a major energy storage and endocrine organ. Adipogenesis is a complex process of cell differentiation, which is regulated by nutrient levels, hormones and metabolites, etc. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex includes two protein complexes, mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and mTORC2. The lipid kinase-like domain contained in the mTOR complex lays the foundation for the mTOR pathway to regulate adipogenesis. Research on some components of mTORC1 and mTORC2 has verified the roles of mTOR in the regulation of adipogenesis. Based on previous studies, we reviewed the research of miR-199a-3p, miR-103, miR-188, Src-associated substrate in mitosis of 68 kD (Sam68), endostatin and other substances in the regulation of adipogenesis through mTORC1 and mTORC2. At the same time, we had further constructed the adipogenesis network regulated by mTOR signaling pathway, including insulin/IGF pathway, PI3K-AKT pathway, amino acid pathway, AMPK pathway, cAMP pathway, cGMP pathway, NOTCH pathway, and the modulation of bta-miR-150, 4-O-methylasochlorin and a variety of proteins. This article mainly reviewed the characteristics of mTOR complex and the latest research progress in the regulation of adipogenesis by mTOR pathway. It was pointed out that mTORC2 can regulate lipid uptake, lipolysis and regulate the function of mTORC1. However, there are fewer studies on mTORC2 compared to mTORC1, so further researches on adipogenesis and lipid metabolism may be more focused on mTORC2.
RESUMO
The skeletal muscle is an important part of the animal body, which is closely related to body movement, energy consumption, production performance and its development process is regulated by many factors. The molecular mechanism of skeletal muscle growth and development is not only closely related to animal husbandry production, but also provides a theoretical basis for the treatment of muscle dis-eases, such as amyotrophic muscular dystrophy, and so on. Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is a kind of RNA without coding ability, in which circular RNA (circRNA), long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and micro RNA (miRNA) have been proved to play an important role in the development of skeletal muscles. miR-NA can specifically bind to the 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) of the target gene through its seed se-quence, so as to inhibit the translation process of the target gene or directly degrade the target gene, and become a prominent participant in a variety of biological processes. Studies have shown that circRNA, ln-cRNA, pseudogenes and mRNA with miRNA response elements (MRE) can competitively combine miRNA to regulate gene expression, forming a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network model. This hypothesis subverts the previous concept of unidirectional regulation of target genes by miRNA, and endows them with new biological functions in transcriptome, which is of great biological significance. In recent years, it has been found that ceRNA plays an important regulatory role in the growth and development of skeletal muscles. This paper reviews the role of miRNA, lncRNA and circRNA in the proliferation and differentiation of animal skeletal muscle cells, which is an important member of ceRNA mechanism, in order to broaden the research direction of skeletal muscle mechanism and provide new ideas for the development of animal husbandry and the treatment of muscle diseases.
