Eukaryotic initiation factor 4 A-3 promotes glioblastoma growth and invasion through the Notch1-dependent pathway.

Background: As an adult tumor with the most invasion and the highest mortality rate, the inherent heterogeneity of glioblastoma (GBM) is the main factor that causes treatment failure. Therefore, it is important to have a deeper understanding of the pathology of GBM. Some studies have shown that Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 4A-3 (EIF4A3) can promote the growth of many people's tumors, and the role of specific molecules in GBM remains unclear.

Small peptide LINC00511-133aa encoded by LINC00511 regulates breast cancer cell invasion and stemness through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

LINC00511 is an long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) of ncRNAs,This study aimed to investigate whether the lncRNA LINC00511 could encode a small peptide, LINC00511-133aa, and whether this peptide could promote breast cancer cell metastasis and stemness by activating the wnt/β-catenin pathway. The LINC00511-133aa coding sequence vector and control vector were transfected into MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, with subsequent assessment of peptide expression using PCR, western blotting, and immunofluorescence assays. Cell proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis were evaluated using CCK8, apoptotic, wound healing, and transwell invasion assays, while the characteristic changes of tumor stem cells were detected through sphere-forming assay and western blot analyses of the stemness markers Oct4, Nanog, and SOX2.

Identification of Candidate Genes Associated With Prognosis in Glioblastoma.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor, which associated with extremely poor prognosis.

Methods: Data from datasets GSE16011, GSE7696, GSE50161, GSE90598 and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between patients and controls. DEGs common to all five datasets were analyzed for functional enrichment and for association with overall survival using Cox regression.

circRNA circARNT2 Suppressed the Sensitivity of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells to Cisplatin by Targeting the miR-155-5p/PDK1 Axis.

Circular RNA (circRNA) is a novel subclass of noncoding-RNA molecules that participate in development and progression of a variety of human diseases via sponging microRNAs (miRNAs). Until now, the contributions of circRNAs in chemoresistance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain largely unknown. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of circRNA in cisplatin resistance of HCC.

Long noncoding RNA LINC00511 contributes to breast cancer tumourigenesis and stemness by inducing the miR-185-3p/E2F1/Nanog axis.

Background: Emerging evidence have illustrated the vital role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 00511 (LINC00511) on the human cancer progression and tumorigenesis. However, the role of LINC00511 in breast cancer tumourigenesis is still unknown. This research puts emphasis on the function of LINC00511 on the breast cancer tumourigenesis and stemness, and investigates the in-depth mechanism.
