Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR/microRNA-761 sponge regulates PPME1 and further influences cell biological functions in thyroid carcinoma.

Background: Most well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas display good therapeutic outcomes, but there are still some patients who are not sensitive to the general treatments lose their treatment opportunities. Thus, it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms that cause thyroid carcinoma, so as to find effective diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Aim Of The Study: To explore the role of homeobox transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) in thyroid carcinoma through protein phosphatase methylesterase 1 (PPME1) by sponging microRNA 761 (miR-761).

Long noncoding RNA CRNDE activates Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway through acting as a molecular sponge of microRNA-136 in human breast cancer.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve critical roles in the tumorigenesis and development of multiple human malignancies. Herein, we aimed to explore the biological and clinical significance of lncRNA CRNDE in human breast cancer (BC). The expression of CRNDE in BC tissues and cell lines was detected, and the association between CRNDE expression and clinicopathologic features of BC patients was also analyzed.
