Background: The relationships between lncRNAs and tumors have currently become one of the focuses on cancer studies. However, there are a few studies about lncRNAs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at present.

Methods: Microarray analysis was designed to study the expression patterns of lncRNAs in three pairs of NSCLC tissues. The expression of lncRNA RGMB-AS1 and repulsive guidance molecule b (RGMB) were detected in 72 paired NSCLC tissues and adjacent normal tissues by qRT-PCR assay. The relations of lncRNA RGMB-AS1 and RGMB expression with clinicopathological factors of NSCLC patients were explored. A549 and SPC-A-1 cells were transfected with siRNA of lncRNA RGMB-AS1 and negative control. RGMB expression level was detected by qRT-PCR assay and western blot analysis.

Results: The results of microarray found that 571 lncRNAs were differentially expressed in NSCLC tissues (Fold change cut-off: 5.0, P < 0.05), including 304 upregulated and 267 downregulated lncRNAs. The results of qRT-PCR showed that lncRNA RGMB-AS1 expression was significantly higher in NSCLC tissues than in adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.05), while RGMB mRNA showed an opposite trend (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that the expression of lncRNA RGMB-AS1and RGMB mRNA were inversely correlated (R(2) = 0.590, P < 0.05). While lncRNA RGMB-AS1 and RGMB expression levels in NSCLC tissues were associated with the occurrence of differentiation status, lymph node metastases and TNM stage (P < 0.05). Transfection with siRNA of lncRNA RGMB-AS1, subsequent results showed that RGMB mRNA and protein expression were upregulated (P < 0.05) in A549 and SPC-A-1 cells compared to the control groups.

Conclusion: We identified lncRNA RGMB-AS1 was upregulated and RGMB was downregulated in NSCLC patients. Both were related to differentiation status, lymph node metastases and TNM stage. Studies also indicated that lncRNA RGMB-AS1and RGMB were inversely correlated.

Cuproptosis is a copper-induced mitochondrial cell death, and regulating cuproptosis is becoming a rising cancer treatment modality. Here, we attempted to establish a cuproptosis-associated lncRNAs (CRLs) signature (CRlncSig) to predict the survival, immune landscape, and treatment response in ovarian cancer (OC) patients. A series of statistical analyses were used to identify the key CRLs that are closely related to the prognosis, and a prognostic CRlncSig was constructed.

A higher incidence of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is generally considered as a precancerous lesion in gastric cancer (GC). The aim of this study was to identify potential molecules involved in the pathogenesis of CAG in the Tibetan plateau, hoping to help the diagnosis and management of the disease. Atrophic and non-atrophic gastric mucosal tissue samples were collected from seven patients with chronic gastritis (CG).

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent regulated cell death caused by excessive lipid peroxide accumulation, has emerged as a promising therapeutic target in various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we identified the long non-coding RNA RGMB-AS1 as a key regulator of ferroptosis in NSCLC. Mechanistically, RGMB-AS1 interacted with heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) and prevented its ubiquitination by the E3 ligase TRC8, leading to increased HMOX1 stability and enhanced ferroptosis.

Long non-coding RNA RGMB-AS1 (RGMB antisense RNA 1) plays a crucial role in tumor progression. However, its underlying mechanism in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed the clinical significance of lncRNA RGMB-AS1 as a possible potential marker in NPC, and investigated the effect and mechanism of lncRNA RGMB-AS1 on proliferation, migration and epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT) of NPC by directly binding Forkhead box A1 (FOXA1) in and in .
