Findings from this study provided evidence that dietary habits, tobacco-smoking and alcohol drinking contribute to the etiology of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. A healthy dietary habit, with smoking cessation and alcohol controlling is of a great importance in the prevention of esophageal cancer.

MiR-9 was up-regulated in non-small cell lung cancer tissues and correlated with adverse clinical features and unfavorable survival, indicating that miR-9 might be involved in non-small lung cancer progression and could serve as a promising biomarker for further risk stratification in the treatment of this cancer.

Pyroptosis is a type of proinflammatory programmed cell death mediated by caspase 1 activity and occurs in several types of eukaryotic tumor cells, including gliomas. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small endogenous noncoding RNAs, have been demonstrated to be advantageous in glioma therapy. However, the question of whether miRNAs regulate pyroptosis in glioma remains unknown. The current study found that caspase 1 expression was substantially increased in both glioma tissues and glioma cell lines, U87 and T98G, while miR-214 expression was significantly downregulated. Luciferase reporter assay recognized caspase 1 as a target gene of miR-214. These findings demonstrate that miR-214 could inhibit cell proliferation and migration through the regulation of pyroptosis intermediated by caspase 1 in glioma U87 and T98G cells and may suggest a novel therapeutic for the intervention of glioma.

PBK/TOPK expression is positively correlated with Ki67 and p53 expression, and can be used as an independent prognostic factor in NSCLC.
