RESUMEN
The inhibition potential of α-glucosidase enzyme by crude- dichloromethane, methanol, and ethanol -extracts of Rydingia persica were evaluated using colorimetric method. We have isolated four labdane diterpenoids: 15, 16- epoxy-3α, 7ß, 9α -trihydroxylabdan-13- (16), 14-dien-6-one (1), 15, 16- epoxy-3α, 7α, 9α -trihydroxylabdan-13- (16), 14-dien-6-one (2), 9, 13, 15, 16-diepoxy- 3α, 7ß, 15α (ß)- trihydroxy-labdan- 6 one (3, 4) from the most potent enzyme inhibitor fraction; the ethyl acetate soluble part of ethanol extract of the aerial parts of R. persica. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by their 1H and13C NMR and ESIMS spectral data analyses. The enzyme inhibition potential of the compounds was evaluated against acetylcholine esterase (AChE) and α-glucosidase by simulation studies. The predicted binding energy of most diterpenes towards mouse AChE enzyme was low, while the binding energy of diterpenes towards α-glucosidase enzyme was moderate to potent.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genetic variants associated with cancer risk. GWAS data are important for cancer prevention and understanding the underlying mechanisms of cancer. AIMS: This study aimed to investigate the genetic association between different types of cancer using GWAS data and a bioinformatics approach. METHODS AND RESULTS: The significant GWAS variants associated with more than one cancer type were identified. Common linkage disequilibrium (LD) variants between different types of cancer were identified by 1000 genomes phase 3 LD data. Haplotype blocks were identified by analyzing 1000 Genomes phase 3 genotyping data in the GWAS populations. Subsequent analyses included functional SNP analyses and TCGA gene expression. The results associated with significant GWAS variants (P<5E-8) showed the following haplotype associations in European population: GT rs4808075-rs8170 haplotype on BABAM1 with breast and ovarian cancers, GC rs16857609-rs11693806 haplotype on DIRC3 with breast and thyroid cancers, GCG rs380286-rs401681-rs31487 haplotype on CLPTM1L with skin and lung cancers, GGG rs4430796-rs11651052-rs11263763 haplotype on HNF1B with prostate and endometrial cancers, and GT rs10505477-rs6983267 haplotype on CASC8 associated with colorectal and prostate cancers. All these genes had significantly different expressions in tumor tissues (P<1E-3). In addition, the rs11693806 variant is located in the hsa-miR-873-5p binding site and has an enhancing effect on the hsa-miR-873-5p:DIRC3 interaction. CONCLUSION: These novel haplotype structures and miRNA:lncRNA interactions are important for understanding the common genetic link between cancers. These results can potentially be used in genetic panels.

Purpose: Obesity/overweight is an important risk factor for CRC and IBD. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of common genetic factors and haplotypes associated with obesity, CRC and IBD. Methods: Significant GWAS variants associated with CRC, IBD or obesity were extracted from the GWAS catalog. The common variants between CRC-IBD, CRC-obesity or IBD-obesity were identified. Finally, the haplotypic structure between these diseases was identified, and SNP function analysis, gene-gene expression, protein-protein interactions, gene survival analysis and pathway analysis were performed with the results. Results: While the results showed several common variants between CRC and IBD, IBD and obesity, and CRC and obesity identified in previous GWAS, rs3184504 was the only common variant for CRC-IBD-obesity (P ≤ 5E-8). The result also identified a haplotypic block AGCAGT (r2 ≥ 0.8 and D'≥0.08) associated with the common variants of CRC-IBD-obesity. These variants are located on the SH2B3 gene, whose expression level decreases in both colon and rectal cancers (P ≤ 1E-3) and which has protein-protein interaction with inflammation- and cancer-associated genes. Conclusion: The rs3184504 variant and the novel haplotype AGCAGT co-occurred in CRC, IBD, obesity, and inflammation. This novel haplotype could potentially be used in genetic panels to identify CRC/IBD susceptibility in obese patients.

Cancer and obesity are two important public health problems. This study aimed to investigate the role of genetic variants and haplotypes of miRNA host genes in cancer and obesity. Data from the catalog of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were used to find significant variants (index). Then, 1000-genome phase 3 data were used to find haplotypic variants (proxy) associated with these diseases. The candidate variants and haplotypes were identified from proxy and index variants. Finally, SNP function analysis was performed. All GWAS-significant cancer-associated miRNA host gene variants, including MIR4713HG, MIR663AHG, MIR99AHG and MIR4435-2HG, were also significantly associated with obesity. The rs703764 variant was common between cutaneous melanoma and obesity traits in the European population (P ≤ 5E-8). The rs2414098 variant was associated with endometrial cancer (P ≤ 5E-13), and the rs7173595 variant was associated with waist-hip ratio (P ≤ 5E-13) and new CGGCATCA haplotypic located at MIR4713HG was identified in the European population. In addition, the ATCTTGTT haplotype for rs17041868 in MIR4435-2HG was identified to be associated with obesity traits (waist-hip ratio and BMI) in the European population (P ≤ 5E-8). This study found that rs703764 is a common genetic marker between cancer and obesity. The CGGCATCA haplotype is common between endometrial cancer and waist-hip ratio. Also, ATCTTGTT haplotype is associated with obesity traits. These results indicate that the variants and haplotypes of miRNAs host genes play an important role between cancer and obesity in the European population. It is suggested to investigate the effect of these structures in other populations.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Breast cancer (BC), obesity, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are three complex diseases and health problems that are prevalent worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the common genetic associations between these diseases by referring back to the previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS). METHODS: To this end, significant GWAS variants and common variants associated with BC, obesity, or diabetes were identified from the GWAS catalog. To perform candidate variants, the 1000-Genomes Project was used to find variants with linkage disequilibrium. Common variants between each category were identified (common candidate haplotypic variants). Finally, these variants and their associated genes were examined for SNP function analysis, gene expression, gene-gene correlation, and pathway analysis. RESULTS: The results identified 7 variants associated with both T2DM and BC, 8 variants associated with both obesity and BC, and 167 variants associating obesity with T2DM. 91 variants and 4 haplotypic blocks such as CTC were identified on the FTO gene associated with obesity, BC, and T2DM. The results of TCGA data showed that FTO in gene expression was correlated with 6 other genes in the DNA repair pathway in BC subjects. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the FTO gene is one of the major genes shared by BC, T2DM, and obesity based on two DNA repair and inflammatory mechanisms. These results may provide a new perspective on the important role of the FTO gene and repair mechanism in the relationship between BC, obesity, and T2DM for future studies.

Despite being relatively rare, pediatric traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) is a debilitating event with high morbidity and long-term damage and dependency. This study aims to provide insight on the epidemiological characteristics of pediatric TSCI worldwide. The studies were included if they provided data for the pediatric population with the diagnosis of TSCI. Information sources included PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus. All databases were searched from 1990 to April 2023. The quality of included studies was evaluated by Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools. The results of the meta-analysis were presented as forest plots. PROSPERO Registration code: CRD42020189757. We identified 87 studies from 18 developed and 11 developing countries. Of the 87 studies evaluated, 52 studies were considered medium quality, 27 studies were considered high quality, and 8 studies were considered low quality. In developed countries, the proportion of TSCIs occurring in patients aged 0-15 years was 3% (95% CI: 2.2%; 3.9%), while in developing countries, it was 4.5% (95% CI: 2.8%; 6.4%). In developed countries, the pooled incidence of pediatric TSCI was 4.3/millions of children aged 0-15/year (95% CI: 3.1; 6.0/millions children aged 0-15/year) and boys comprised 67% (95% CI: 63%; 70%) of cases. The most prevalent level of injury was cervical (50% [95% CI: 41%; 58%]). The frequency of SCI Without Obvious Radiological Abnormality (SCIWORA) was 35% (95% CI: 18%; 54%) among children 0-17 years. The most common etiology in developed countries was transport injuries (50% [95% CI: 42%; 57%]), while in developing countries falls were the leading cause (31% [95% CI: 20%; 42%]). The most important limitation of our study was the heterogeneity of studies in reporting age subgroups that hindered us from age-specific analyses. Conclusion: Our study provided accurate estimates for the epidemiology of pediatric TSCI. We observed a higher proportion of pediatric TSCI cases in developing countries compared to developed countries. Furthermore, we identified distinct epidemiological characteristics of pediatric TSCI when compared to adult cases and variations between developing and developed countries. Recognizing these unique features allows for the implementation of cost-effective preventive strategies aimed at reducing the incidence and burden of TSCI in children. What is Known: ⢠Pediatric Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (TSCI) can have profound physical and social consequences for affected children, their families, and society as a whole. ⢠Epidemiological insights are vital for they provide the data and understanding needed to the identification of vulnerable populations, aiding in the development of targeted prevention strategies and effective resource allocation. What is New: ⢠The estimated incidence of pediatric TSCI in developed countries is 4.3 cases per million children aged 0-15. The proportion of pediatric TSCI cases in relation to all-age TSCI cases is 3% in developed countries and 4.5% in developing countries. ⢠The etiology of TSCI in pediatric cases differs between developing and developed countries. In developed countries, transport injuries are the most prevalent cause of pediatric TSCI, while falls are the least common cause. Conversely, in developing countries, falls are the leading cause of pediatric TSCI.

Breast cancer (BC) is the second most common cancer and cause of death in women. In recent years many studies investigated the association of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), as novel genetic factors, on BC risk, survival, clinical and pathological features. Recent studies also investigated the roles of metformin treatment as the firstline treatment for type 2 diabetes (T2D) played in lncRNAs expression/regulation or BC incidence, outcome, mortality and survival, separately. This comprehensive study aimed to review lncRNAs associated with BC features and identify metformin-regulated lncRNAs and their mechanisms of action on BC or other types of cancers. Finally, metformin affects BC by regulating five BC-associated lncRNAs including GAS5, HOTAIR, MALAT1, and H19, by several molecular mechanisms have been described in this review. In addition, metformin action on other types of cancers by regulating ten lncRNAs including AC006160.1, Loc100506691, lncRNA-AF085935, SNHG7, HULC, UCA1, H19, MALAT1, AFAP1-AS1, AC026904.1 is described.

PURPOSE: To systematically review the risk of permanent disability related to road traffic injuries (RTIs) and to determine the implications for future research regarding permanent impairment following road trafï¬c crashes. METHODS: We conducted this systematic review according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis statement. An extended search of the literature was carried out in 4 major electronic databases for scientific research papers published from January 1980 to February 2020. Two teams include 2 reviewers each, screened independently the titles/abstracts, and after that, reviewed the full text of the included studies. The quality of the studies was assessed using the strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology (STROBE) checklist. A third reviewer was assessed any discrepancy and all data of included studies were extracted. Finally, the data were systematically analyzed, and the related data were interpreted. RESULTS: Five out of 16 studies were evaluated as high-quality according to the STROBE checklist. Fifteen studies ranked the initial injuries according to the abbreviated injury scale 2005. Five studies reported the total risk of permanent medical impairment following RTIs which varied from 2% to 23% for car occupants and 2.8% to 46% for cyclists. Seven studies reported the risk of permanent medical impairment of the different body regions. Eleven studies stated the most common body region to develop permanent impairment, of which 6 studies demonstrated that injuries of the cervical spine and neck were at the highest risk of becoming permanent injured. CONCLUSION: The finding of this review revealed the necessity of providing a globally validated method to evaluate permanent medical impairment following RTIs across the world. This would facilitate decision-making about traffic injuries and efficient management to reduce the financial and psychological burdens for individuals and communities.

The genetic association of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with its complications has not been fully understood. This study aimed to identify variants and haplotypes of candidate genes implicated in COVID-19 related traits by combining the literature review and pathway analysis. To explore such genes, the protein-protein interactions and relevant pathways of COVID-19-associated genes were assessed. A number of variants on candidate genes were identified from Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) which were associated with COVID-19 related traits (p Ë 10-6 ). Haplotypic blocks were assessed using haplotypic structures among the 1000 Genomes Project (r2 ≥ 0.8, D' ≥ 0.8). Further functional analyses were performed on the selected variants. The results demonstrated that a group of variants in ACE and AGT genes were significantly correlated with COVID-19 related traits. Three haplotypes were identified to be involved in the blood metabolites levels and the development of blood pressure. Functional analyses revealed that most GWAS index variants were expression quantitative trait loci and had transcription factor binding sites, exonic splicing enhancers or silencer activities. Furthermore, the proxy haplotype variants, rs4316, rs4353, rs4359, and three variants, namely rs2493133, rs2478543, and rs5051, were associated with blood metabolite and systolic blood pressure, respectively. These variants exerted more regulatory effects compared with other GWAS variants. The present study indicates that the genetic variants and candidate haplotypes of COVID-19 related genes are associated with blood pressure and blood metabolites. However, further observational studies are warranted to confirm these results.

INTRODUCTION: Inflammation is a critical hallmark in obesity and colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to investigate effective microRNA (miRNA)-messenger RNA (mRNA) interactions on inflammatory networks involved in obesity and CRC. METHODS: The literature searches were applied to identify genes expression reported on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and/or blood of CRC subjects and to find inflammatory miRNA in blood samples. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis was utilized to find inflammatory miRNA:mRNA interactions of the genes. Finally, a case-control study was set to investigate the expression of LAMC1 and GNB3 genes besides miR-10b, miR-506-3p, miR-150-5p, and miR-124-3p in CRC and control subjects. RESULTS: The expression of LAMC1 gene in healthy control groups was associated with body mass index (BMI) (p < .05). The level of miR-10b (p < .001), miR-506 (p < .001), and miR-124 (p <. 001) were significantly increased in PBMCs of CRC patients, while they were not associated with BMI. The level of miR-150 was associated with BMI in healthy subjects (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS: The changes in the level of miR-506 and miR-124 in CRC patients may be associated with the regulatory role of these miRNAs on LAMC1 expression. The LAMC1 may be related to BMI, however, more observational studies on other populations are needed.

STUDY DESIGN: Scoping review. OBJECTIVES: To describe the meaning of cognitive appraisals, their relation with outcome. measures, and adapted appraisal scales after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) in the existing literature. METHODS: This review was performed according to the Arksey and O'Malley (2005) framework that consisted of five steps: setting the review question, searching the literature, selecting and classifying the studies, charting the data, and summarizing the results. Published articles from 1990 to 16 May 2020 related to cognitive appraisal, persons with traumatic SCI (TSCI), and persons older than 18 years were identified by searching by key terms in four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase). RESULTS: The included studies (n = 26) were categorized into three categories. Categories focused on the meanings of cognitive appraisals following TSCI (i.e., appraisals being complex and context-related, or in general definition how persons with TSCI interpret their disability and how they evaluate the resources available to respond to it), the relationship between cognitive appraisals and physical/psychological/social/ outcomes, and appraisals of disability (including the use of appraisals as a predictor of subsequent positive or negative consequences). CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrated that a cognitive appraisal of TSCI is critical to longer-term rehabilitation outcomes. A combination of physical and psychological-based interventions can help to modify negative or dysfunctional appraisals. Cognitive appraisal in TSCI seems to vary from person to person. To predict it and develop a rehabilitation plan, future research needs to focus on the relationship between cognitive appraisal and person-related factors, including demographic characteristics.

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common obesity-associated cancers. Inflammation is also considered the most important factor between obesity and CRC. This study aimed to examine miRNAs binding sites variants on inflammatory genes identified using bioinformatics and systematic approach on clinical samples that were collected from CRC patients and controls. METHODS: The candidate variants related to CRC inflammatory genes were obtained from genome-wide association studies and their population-specific haplotypes. The variants were analyzed according to their genomic position on the miRNA targetome. Targetome variants in inflammation-related genes were selected for genetic association study by TaqMan genotyping assay. RESULTS: The GG genotype of rs7473 decreased the risk of obesity (p < 0.05). Heterozygous genotype (GA) of rs1547715 decreased the risk of CRC (p < 0.05). In the rs7473/rs1547715 genotype and haplotype, the frequencies of AA/GA and GG/AA lessened in CRC and obesity, respectively (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The variants of rs7473 and rs1547715 were associated with obesity and CRC, respectively. The above-mentioned associations could be made based on the interactions of these variants with miRNAs.

Tryptophan (Trp), an α-amino acid, is the precursor of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), which is involved in a variety of features of metabolic function and human nutrition. Evidence highlights the role of Trp metabolites (exclusively 5-HT) in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract; however, the mechanisms of action involved in the release of 5-HT in the GI tract are still unknown. Considering the fact that variations of 5-HT may facilitate the growth of certain GI disorders, gaining a better understanding of the function and release of 5-HT in the GI tract would be beneficial. Additionally, investigating Trp metabolism may clarify the relationship between Trp and gut microbiota. It is believed that other metabolites of Trp (mostly that of the kynurenine pathway) may play a significant role in controlling gut microbiota function. In this review, we have attempted to summarize the current research investigating the relationship of gut microbiota, Trp and 5-HT metabolism (with particular attention paid to their metabolite type, as well as a discussion of the research methods used in each study). Taking together, regarding the role that Trp/5-HT plays in a range of physical and mental diseases, the gut bacterial types, as well as the related disorders, have been exclusively considered.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of the most common oral ulcerative diseases with unknown etiology. Identifying the genetic markers can improve medical care and prevention of RAS. Genetics variants inflammatory agents are associated with the risk of RAS. Thus, this meta-analysis aimed to investigate the genetic polymorphisms in RAS. Electronic literature search was carried out on Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science (WOS). The references of relevant reviews were also manually checked. The observational studies till the end of 2020 were included. Odds ratio (OR) was estimated by fixed and random effect model. Seventeen polymorphisms in 23 studies were included in analysis. Pooled analysis performed for 12 polymorphisms (IL-2+166, IL-2-330, IL-4-590, IL-4 RA1902, IL-6-597, TNF-α-308, NLRP3(rs4612666, rs10754558), MMP2- rs2285053, MMP9- rs11697325, MMP9- rs3918242, MMP9- rs17576, IL-1a-889, IL-10-819, and IL-12+1188). The meta-analyses carried out for six polymorphisms (IL-1ß-511, IL-1ß+3954, IL-6-174, IL-10-592, IL-10-1082, and serotonin transporter). There were following significant results for IL-10, 819 in allelic:1.46(1.04-2.05) and homozygote: 1.61(1.08-2.39) models, serotonin Transporter in allelic:0.53(0.40-0.71), recessive:0.56(0.35-0.90), dominant:0.35(0.22-0.57) and homozygote:0.30(0.17-0.54) models. IL-1ß-511 in dominant 0.69(0.50-0.95) and overdominant 0.73(0.55-0.96) models, IL-1ß+3954 in allelic 1.25(1.05-1.50), homozygote 1.67(1.05-2.63) and dominant 1.26(1.01-1.57) models, IL-6-174 in dominant 2.24(1.36-3.67), IL-10-592 in homozygote 0.41(0.23-0.72) and dominant 0.55(0.33-0.93), IL-10-1082 in allelic 1.19(1.01-1.39) and dominant 1.29(1.02-1.64). In conclusion, serotonin transporter(L/S), IL-10-819(T/C), IL-10-592(C/A), IL-10-1082(G/A), IL-1ß-511(C/T), IL-6-174(G/C), and IL-1ß+3954 (T/C) polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to RAS. These variants could be potential predictors of RAS and could be used for the developing clinically effective genetic panel for RAS.

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common and the first cause of death worldwide. While some studies have investigated the association of the Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) gene with CDVs, its roles on in-stent restenosis (ISR) has not been studied. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, we investigated the role of ADA gene variants in both genetic and haplotype models on the risk of ISR. 91 samples were included in this study. The subjects were divided into two groups regarding having or not-having ISR (n = 40 ISR+ and n = 51 ISR-). The genotyping for G22A (rs73598374) and A4223C (rs452159) polymorphisms was performed using PCR-RFLP method. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS v. 20 and Haploview 4.2 softwares. The basic demographic conditions in ISR groups were statistically similar. There was a significant association between A allele of rs452159 ISR groups after adjustment (allelic model: P value = 0.028, OR(95%CI) = 0.366(0.149-0.899)), while rs73598374 polymorphism shows no significant association with ISR. In haplotype analysis, the GA (G:rs73598374/A:rs452159) haplotype decreased the risk of ISR (P value = 00.025, OR(95%CI) = 0.382(0.161-0.907)). CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that A allele of ADA rs452159 polymorphism and GA (G:rs73598374/A:rs452159) haplotype may be related to decreased risk of ISR in CAD patients receiving drug-eluting stent and offers more observational studies on ADA variants in other populations to generate a potential haplotype panel for ISR risk assessment.

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder with growing prevalence and increasing economic burden. Based on the role of genetics and epigenetic factors on T2DM, we aimed to carry a systematic review and meta-analysis for all miRNA gene polymorphisms and risk of T2DM. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A computerized literature search was carried out on PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, as well as references of relevant review/meta-analysis. Key search terms were "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2," "MicroRNAs," and "Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide." All types of observational studies from January 1, 1992, to November 30, 2019, were included, without language restriction. Data analysis was performed using R programming language (3.5.2). Level of heterogeneity was obtained by Cochran's Q test (P < 0.05), and subgroup analysis was performed based on ethnicity. RESULTS: Thirty-two polymorphisms from fifteen articles were included. Meta-analysis was carried out based on minor allele frequencies. Seven studies with 2193 cases and 3963 controls were included for rs2910164 polymorphism. In subgroup analysis, there were significant results in Caucasian population in dominant model (odds ratio [OR] =1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.83-1.51), homozygote model (OR = 1.78; 95% CI: 1.06-3.00), heterozygote model (OR = 1.77; 95% CI: 1.03-3.05), and recessive model (OR = 1.78; 95% CI: 1.07-2.96). Four studies with 2085 cases and 1933 controls were included for rs895819 polymorphism. Overall, there was no significant result for association with rs895819, but subgroup analysis revealed that minor allele significantly decreased the risk of T2DM in Caucasians by recessive model (OR = 0.34; 95% CI: 0.18-0.66), dominant model (OR = 0.70; 95% CI: 0.52-0.94), homozygote model (OR = 0.32; 95% CI: 0.16-0.62), heterozygote model (OR = 0.37; 95% CI: 0.19-0.74), allelic model (OR = 0.67; 95% CI: 0.52-0.85). CONCLUSION: The minor allele of rs2910164 may increase the risk of T2DM by leading to lower level of miR-146a. In contrast, minor allele of rs895819 may decrease the risk of T2DM by leading to higher level of miR-27a.
RESUMEN
Colorectal cancer (CRC) and obesity are linked clinical entities with a series of complex processes being engaged in their development. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) participate in these processes through regulating CRC and obesity-related genes. This study aimed to develop an in silico approach to systematically identify and prioritize miRNAs target sites polymorphisms in obesity and CRC. Data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) were used to retrieve CRC and obesity-associated variants. The polymorphisms that were resided in experimentally verified or computationally predicted miRNA target sites were retrieved and prioritized using a range of bioinformatics analyses. We found 6284 CRC and 38931 obesity unique variants. For CRC 33 haplotypes variants in 134 interactions were in miRNA targetome, while for obesity we found more than 935 unique interactions. Functionally prioritized SNPs revealed that, SNPs in 153 obesity and 50 CRC unique interactions were have disruptive effects on miRNA:mRNA integration by changing on target RNA secondary structure. Structural accessibility of target sites were decreased in 418 and 103 unique interactions and increased in 516 and 79 interactions, for obesity and CRC, respectively. The miRNA:mRNA hybrid stability was increased in 127 and 17 unique interactions and decreased in 33 and 24 interactions for the effect of obesity and CRC SNPs, respectively. In this study, seven SNPs with 15 interactions and three SNPs with four interactions were prioritized for obesity and CRC, respectively. These SNPs could be used for future studies for finding potential biomarkers for diagnoses, prognosis, or treatment of CRC and obesity.
