Role of Long Non-coding RNA HSD17B3-AS1 in Trauma for COVID-19.

COVID-19, an acute respiratory syndrome caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, was first reported in late 2019 in Wuhan, China, and rapidly escalated into a global pandemic. The condition can lead to organ dysfunction and ultimately death through its onset of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Disease severity has been linked to proinflammatory cytokines which activate the NF-κB and STAT transcription factors in infected cells.

ADAMTS9-AS1 Long Non‑coding RNA Sponges miR‑128 and miR-150 to Regulate Ras/MAPK Signaling Pathway in Glioma.

Glioma is a malignancy of the central nervous system with a poor prognosis. Therefore, the elaboration of its molecular features creates therapeutic opportunities. Looking for the regulatory non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs and miRNAs) that are involved in glioma incidence/progression, RNA-seq analysis introduced upregulated ADAMTS9-AS1 as a bona fide candidate that sponges miR-128 and miR-150 and shows the negative correlation of expression with them.

LINC02381-ceRNA exerts its oncogenic effect through regulation of IGF1R signaling pathway in glioma.

Purpose: LncRNAs play essential roles in the cellular and molecular biology of glioma. Some LncRNAs exert their role through sponging miRNAs and regulating multiple signaling pathways. LINC02381 is involved in several cancer types as either oncogene or tumor suppressor.

Molecular and cellular evidence for hsa-miR-1254 suppressor effect against HER2 signaling in breast cancer.

HER2 signaling upregulation is a hallmark of breast cancer which is the second cause of cancer-related death in women. Here, we were looking for the candidate microRNAs which is capable of regulating the HER2 receptor and the genes of its downstream. To this aim, preliminary bioinformatics analysis introduced hsa-miR-1254 (miR-1254) as a potential common regulator of HER2, HER3, PIK3R2, and AKT1 genes.

Variants in ACE2; potential influences on virus infection and COVID-19 severity.

The third pandemic of coronavirus infection, called COVID-19 disease, was first detected in November 2019th. Various determinants of disease progression such as age, sex, virus mutations, comorbidity, lifestyle, host immune response, and genetic background variation have caused clinical variability of COVID-19. The causative agent of COVID-19 is an enveloped coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) that invades host cells using an endocytic pathway.

LOC646329 long non-coding RNA sponges miR-29b-1 and regulates TGFβ signaling in colorectal cancer.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are reported to be regulators of signaling pathways that are involved in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. Aiming at finding ncRNAs (miRNAs) that are differentially expressed in tumor versus normal colorectal tissue samples, online RNA-seq data were analyzed. Of between 18 candidate miRNAs, hsa-miR-29b-1 (miR-29b-1) represented the highest fold change of expression level.
