Mitochondrial miRNA- miR-181c-5p and mitomiR-106a-5p levels as indicators in cardiovascular disease patients - Ari Nabi; Raya Kh. Yashooa; Tola Abdulsattar Faraj; Karzan Abdulmuhsin Mohammad; Suhad A. Mustafa; Giuseppe Troiano; Mario Dioguari; Abd Al-Bar Al-Farha; Nazzareno Capitanio (Molecular Biology Reports, 2026)
Background Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key contributor to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD), one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Mitochondria-associated microRNAs (mitomiRs) have emerged as critical regulators of mitochondrial homeostasis and cardiac function; however, their clinical utility as circulating biomarkers remains incompletely defined. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic potential of circulating hsa-miR-181c-5p and hsa-miR-106a-5p in patients with CVD and to assess their applicability as early, non-invasive biomarkers in an Iraqi cohort. Methods In this case–control study, plasma samples were obtained from 30 patients with clinically diagnosed cardiovascular disease and 30 age-matched healthy controls. Total RNA was extracted, followed by complementary DNA synthesis. Expression levels of hsa-miR-181c-5p and hsa-miR-106a-5p were quantified using reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Diagnostic performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results Plasma levels of hsa-miR-181c-5p were significantly upregulated in CVD patients, exhibiting a three-fold increase compared with controls ( p = 0.0001). Likewise, hsa-miR-106a-5p expression was elevated by approximately four-fold in the CVD group ( p = 0.0008). ROC analysis demonstrated robust discriminatory power for both miRNAs, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.796 for hsa-miR-181c-5p ( p = 0.0002) and 0.749 for hsa-miR-106a-5p ( p = 0.0010). Conclusions Our findings identify circulating hsa-miR-181c-5p and hsa-miR-106a-5p as promising mitomiR-based biomarkers for cardiovascular disease. Their significant upregulation and diagnostic accuracy support their potential role in early, non-invasive detection of CVD and highlight the clinical relevance of mitochondrial miRNA dysregulation in cardiovascular pathology.

Neutrophils in glioblastoma: orchestrators of the tumor microenvironment and immune evasion - Enes Demir; Elham Rahmanipour; Mohammad Ghorbani; Khushal Gupta; Maryam Zeinali; Michael Karsy (Molecular Biology Reports, 2026)
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults and remains refractory to current therapies. Beyond profound immunosuppression, GBM is characterized by a complex tumor microenvironment (TME) in which neutrophils have emerged as critical yet understudied regulators of tumor progression and immune evasion. Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) display marked functional plasticity, acquiring pro-tumor or anti-tumor phenotypes depending on microenvironmental cues. GBM recruits and reprograms infiltrating neutrophils through chemokine-driven trafficking, hypoxia, and tumor-derived cytokines, promoting angiogenesis, glioma stem-like cell support, and immune suppression via vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinase-9 release (MMP-9), arginase-1, and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Conversely, under inflammatory or therapeutically modulated conditions, neutrophils can exert cytotoxic and antibody-dependent anti-tumor functions and enhance T-cell responses. Clinically, elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios and intratumoral neutrophil transcriptional signatures correlate with poor prognosis and resistance to immunotherapy. Emerging therapeutic strategies aim to modulate neutrophil recruitment, metabolism, polarization, and NET formation, often in combination with immune checkpoint blockade. This review synthesizes current knowledge of neutrophil biology in GBM, highlights their dualistic roles within the TME, and outlines translational opportunities for neutrophil-targeted therapies.

Host genetic determinants of resistance and susceptibility to bovine leukemia virus infection: A mini-review - Mohammad Mehdi Akbarin; Zahra Farjami; Hugo Ramírez Álvarez (Molecular Biology Reports, 2026)
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), a member of the Deltaretrovirus genus, causes enzootic bovine leukosis, leading to clinical outcomes that range from asymptomatic infection to malignant lymphoma. Host genetic factors significantly influence BLV susceptibility, proviral load (PVL), immune response, and disease progression. This mini-review synthesizes evidence on genetic polymorphisms in immune-related genes such as BoLA-DRB3 , Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) , and immunoglobulin loci , and examines novel findings from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Beyond classical immune genes, recent GWAS have identified novel loci including SPATA16 (spermatogenesis associated 16) , ABT1 (activator of basal transcription 1) , IER3 (immediate early response 3) , Adaptor Related Protein Complex 4 Subunit Beta 1 (AP4B1) , Tripartite Motif Containing 45 (TRIM45) , Patatin Like Phospholipase Domain Containing 1 ( PNPLA1) , and PRRC2A (proline-rich coiled-coil 2 A) that are implicated in transcriptional regulation, stress response, RNA processing, and intracellular transport, all of which may modulate viral replication and persistence. Understanding these genetic determinants provides new insights into host-virus interactions and offers opportunities for selective breeding strategies, biomarker development, and improved BLV control programs.

BCL-2 family dysregulation in HTLV-1 and BLV pathogenesis and its implications for leukemogenesis and therapy - Mohammad Mehdi Akbarin; Zahra Farjami; Gabriel Eduardo Acevedo-Jiménez; Cecilia Rodríguez Murillo; Víctor David González-Fernández; Lucero de María Avila-De la Vega; Marcela Autran Martínez; Harim Jahaziel Nava Santos; Hugo Ramírez Álvarez (Molecular Biology Reports, 2026)
The B-cell Lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) family of proteins plays a fundamental role in maintaining the balance between cell survival and apoptosis, processes that are frequently manipulated by oncogenic viruses. This review explores the contribution of BCL-2 family members to the pathogenesis of deltaretroviruses, with emphasis on Human T-cell Leukemia Virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV). Both viruses employ viral oncoproteins such as Tax and HBZ (HTLV-1) or their BLV homologs to upregulate anti-apoptotic proteins, including BCL-2, BCL-xL (B-cell Lymphoma-extra Large), MCL-1 (Myeloid Cell Leukemia 1), and Bfl-1, while suppressing pro-apoptotic counterparts such as BCL-2–Associated X Protein ( BAX ), BIM (BCL-2–Interacting Mediator of Cell Death), and BID (BH3-Interacting Domain Death Agonist). This dysregulation prolongs the survival of infected lymphocytes and promotes clonal expansion, genomic instability, and malignant transformation. Importantly, studies demonstrate that BLV and HTLV-1 infection induce resistance to programmed cell death in lymphoid and even non-lymphoid cells, highlighting apoptosis evasion as a central mechanism of viral persistence. Therapeutically, BCL-2 family inhibition has shown promise in sensitizing transformed cells to apoptosis. Small-molecule inhibitors such as ABT-737 and Navitoclax, kinase inhibitors targeting NF-κB (Nuclear Factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of Activated B Cells) and JAK/STAT (Janus Kinase/Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription) pathways, and natural compounds including fucoxanthin, peridinin, and thymoquinone have demonstrated the ability to overcome apoptosis resistance in preclinical models. Recent strategies combining MCL-1 inhibitors with antiretroviral therapy or immune checkpoint blockade further highlight the translational potential of targeting BCL-2 pathways. Collectively, the evidence positions the BCL-2 family as a critical determinant of deltaretroviral persistence and leukemogenesis, and as a promising therapeutic axis for the development of novel treatments for HTLV-1–Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and BLV-associated leukosis.
