Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD), the main cause of dementia, is characterized by synaptic loss and neurodegeneration. Amyloid‐β (Aβ) accumulation, hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the brain are considered to be the initiating factors of AD. However, this hypothesis falls short of explaining many aspects of AD pathogenesis. Recently, there has been mounting evidence that neuroinflammation plays a key role in the pathophysiology of AD and causes neurodegeneration by over‐activating microglia and releasing inflammatory mediators.Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and MEDLINE were used for searching and summarizing all the recent publications related to inflammation and its association with Alzheimer's disease.Results: Our review shows how inflammatory dysregulation influences AD pathology as well as the roles of microglia in neuroinflammation, the possible microglia‐associated therapeutic targets, top neuroinflammatory biomarkers, and anti‐inflammatory drugs that combat inflammation.Conclusion: In conclusion, microglial inflammatory reactions are important factors in AD pathogenesis and need to be discussed in more detail for promising therapeutic strategies.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 3rd most common type of cancer worldwide. Late detection plays role in one-third of annual mortality due to CRC. Therefore, it is essential to find a precise and optimal diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for the identification and treatment of colorectal tumorigenesis. Covalently closed, circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs, which can have the same function as microRNA (miRNA) sponges, as regulators of splicing and transcription, and as interactors with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Therefore, circRNAs have been investigated as specific targets for diagnostic and prognostic detection of CRC. These non-coding RNAs are also linked to metastasis, proliferation, differentiation, migration, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and drug resistance, illustrating the importance of understanding their involvement in the molecular mechanisms of development and progression of CRC. In this review, we present a detailed summary of recent findings relating to the dysregulation of circRNAs and their potential role in CRC.

A pan-cancer analysis summarizing the overall changes in mRNA and protein stability of ADM9, as well as its oncogenic function on immune cell line modulation and checkpoints within the tumor microenvironment (TME), is lacking, despite the fact that ADM9 up-regulation is correlated with the progression of many cancers. Therefore, in this study, we comprehensively analyzed the role of ADAM9 expression and its prognostic value in different cancers to fill this gap. Multiple bioinformatics databases such as Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx), and Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) were used to evaluate the ADAM9 genetic alternation, phosphorylation, and methylation, and indicated highly positive correlated genes that might play a critical interaction with ADAM9 and their molecular function with GO analysis. We also evaluate the effect of higher ADAM9 with prominent immune modulatory genes and immune infiltration especially in liver cancer pathogenesis stimulates lower NK cell effector functions based on its role in MICA shedding and increasing the Tregs infiltration. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining from 90 pathologically verified samples proved the positive correlation between ADAM9 and tumor stages and proved the higher expression of ADAM9 correlated genes (SNX9, APP, TNF, CDH1, ITGAV, MAD2L2) in HCC pathogenesis. In conclusion, this pan-cancer study provides a comprehensive understanding of the prognostic value of ADAM9 in various tumors emphasizing its importance to be considered as an innovative treatment approach, especially in tumor immunity shortly.
