Epigenetic alteration is one of the hallmarks of colorectal cancer (CRC). Many driver genes are regulated by DNA methylation in CRC. However, the role of DNA methylation regulating lncRNAs remain elusive.

Background: Hypoxic tumors are refractory to DNA damage drugs. However, the underlying mechanism has yet to be elucidated. We aimed to identify lncRNAs that upregulated under hypoxia and their effects on colorectal cancer (CRC).

Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are a major class of transposable elements, accounting for 8.67% of the human genome. LTRs can serve as regulatory sequences and drive transcription of tissue or cancer-specific transcripts.

Despite the rapidly identified numbers of lncRNA in humans, exploration of the molecular mechanisms of lncRNA is lagging, because the molecular mechanisms of lncRNA can be various and complex in different conditions. In this study, we found a new molecular mechanism for a versatile molecule, MIR22HG. MIR22HG is an lncRNA that contributes to the initiation and progression of many human cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Objective: To study the effects of irrigation volume on the growth and quality of Lonicera japonica.

Method: Different volume of irrigation water was applied to the potted L. japonica before the first florescence of honeysuckle in order to keep the relative moisture content of the soil as 100%, 80%, 50%, 30%, and observe the growth and development of shoot and leaves, yield and quality of honeysuckle.
