Hsa_Circ_0007843 Acts as a mIR-518c-5p Sponge to Regulate the Migration and Invasion of Colon Cancer SW480 Cells.

Circular RNA (circRNA), a type of RNA that is widely expressed in mammalian cells, is considered to be essential in tumorigenesis. CircRNA can regulate target gene expression by interacting with the corresponding microRNA (miRNA). Our preliminary results showed that the expression levels of 1,817 circRNAs were significantly different in colon cancer tissue compared with paracancerous tissue, of which 1,236 were upregulated and 581 were downregulated.

hsa_circ_0006459 and hsa_circ_0015962 affect prognosis of Dengue fever.

Circular ribonucleic acids (circRNAs) are widely expressed in human cells and play an important role in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Some circRNAs have microRNA (miRNA) binding response elements and interact with miRNA to regulate the expression of target genes.Four patients with a preliminary diagnosis of dengue fever (DF), peripheral whole blood sample in anticoagulant was collected before treatment (pretreatment group) and after effective treatment (posttreatment group), and eight samples were separated and used to screen differentially expressed circRNAs with microarray analysis.

The CircRNA-ACAP2/Hsa-miR-21-5p/ Tiam1 Regulatory Feedback Circuit Affects the Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Colon Cancer SW480 Cells.

Background/aims: Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a type of RNA that is widely expressed in human cells, have essential roles in the development and progression of cancer. CircRNAs contain microRNA (miRNA) binding sites and can function as miRNA sponges to regulate gene expression by removing the inhibitory effect of an miRNA on its target gene.

Methods: We used the bioinformatics software TargetScan and miRanda to predict circRNA-miRNA and miRNAi-Mrna interactions.

MiR-145 affected the circular RNA expression in prostate cancer LNCaP cells.

Recent evidence has demonstrated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) played crucial roles in fine-tuning the levels of gene expression by sequestering the corresponding microRNA (miRNAs). Their interaction with disease-associated miRNAs indicates that circRNAs are important for the development of disease, and miR-145 has been previously shown to have antitumor effect in prostate cancer. In the current study, we successfully established the miR-145-overexpressed prostate cancer LNCaP cells (LNCaP-miR-145) using lentiviral vectors.

Gene-gene interaction network analysis of hepatocellular carcinoma using bioinformatic software.

Information processing tools and bioinformatics software have markedly advanced the ability of researchers to process and analyze biological data. Data from the genomes of humans and model organisms aid researchers to identify topics to study, which in turn improves predictive accuracy, facilitates the identification of relevant genes and simplifies the validation of laboratory data. The objective of the present study was to investigate the regulatory network constituted by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Bioinformatic analysis and prediction of the function and regulatory network of long non-coding RNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Computational analysis and bioinformatics have significantly advanced the ability of researchers to process and analyze biological data. Molecular data from human and model organisms may facilitate drug target validation and identification of biomarkers with increased predictive accuracy. The aim of the present study was to investigate the function of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using online databases, and to predict their regulatory mechanism.

Information processing tools and bioinformatics software have significantly advanced researchers' ability to process and analyze biological data. Molecular data from human and model organism genomes help researchers identify topics for study, which, in turn, improves predictive accuracy, facilitates the identification of relevant genes, and simplifies the validation of laboratory data. The objective of this study was to explore the regulatory network constituted by long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), miRNA, and mRNA in prostate cancer (PCa).

Overexpression of Long Non-Coding RNA MEG3 Inhibits Proliferation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Huh7 Cells via Negative Modulation of miRNA-664.

Evidence is accumulating that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in human tumorigenesis and dysregulated in many cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Because lncRNAs can regulate essential pathways that contribute to tumor initiation and progression with their tissue specificity, lncRNAs are valuable biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) is a lncRNA overexpressed in HCC cells that inhibits HCC progression, however, the mechanism remains largely unknown.

Snail-activated long non-coding RNA PCA3 up-regulates PRKD3 expression by miR-1261 sponging, thereby promotes invasion and migration of prostate cancer cells.

Rapidly accumulated evidence has shown that long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) disregulation is involved in human tumorigenesis in many cancers, including prostate cancer (PCa). LncRNAs can regulate essential pathways that contribute to tumor initiation and progression with tissue specificity, which suggests that lncRNAs could be valuable biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Prostate cancer antigen 3 (PCA3), also known as differential display code 3 (DD3), is one such lncRNA that maps to chromosome 9q21-22.

Reciprocal regulation of PCGEM1 and miR-145 promote proliferation of LNCaP prostate cancer cells.

Prostate cancer gene expression marker 1 (PCGEM1) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) overexpressed in prostate cancer (PCa) cells that promotes PCa initiation and progression, and protects against chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. The microRNA miR-145 functions as a tumor suppressor in PCa. We speculate that reciprocal regulation of PCGEM1 and miR-145 promote proliferation of LNCaP prostate cancer cells.
