Targeting self-renewal is an important goal in cancer therapy and recent studies have focused on Notch signalling in the maintenance of stemness of glioma stem cells (GSCs). Understanding cancer-specific Notch regulation would improve specificity of targeting this pathway. In this study, we find that Notch1 activation in GSCs specifically induces expression of the lncRNA, TUG1. TUG1 coordinately promotes self-renewal by sponging miR-145 in the cytoplasm and recruiting polycomb to repress differentiation genes by locus-specific methylation of histone H3K27 via YY1-binding activity in the nucleus. Furthermore, intravenous treatment with antisense oligonucleotides targeting TUG1 coupled with a drug delivery system induces GSC differentiation and efficiently represses GSC growth in vivo. Our results highlight the importance of the Notch-lncRNA axis in regulating self-renewal of glioma cells and provide a strong rationale for targeting TUG1 as a specific and potent therapeutic approach to eliminate the GSC population.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the relationship between m6A demethylase ALKBH5 and long noncoding RNA TUG1 (TUG1), as well as their effects on proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis in gastric cancer (GC) cells.
Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was utilized to analyze the relative expression levels of ALKBH5, TUG1, and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). Survival analyses of TUG1, ALKBH5, and VEGFA were performed using the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) and Kaplan-Meier databases.

Microglia, the central nervous system's primary immune cells, play a key role in the progression of cerebral ischemic stroke, particularly through their involvement in pyroptosis. The long non-coding RNA taurine up-regulated gene 1 (Tug1) is elevated during ischemic stroke and is critical in driving post-stroke neuroinflammation. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

: Long non-coding RNA taurine-upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) is involved in various cellular processes, but its role in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury remains unclear. This study investigated TUG1's role in regulating the nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of human antigen R (HuR), a key apoptosis regulator under ischemic conditions. : CRISPR-Cas9 technology was used to generate TUG1 knockout Sprague Dawley rats to assess TUG1's impact on ischemic injury.

Background: The purpose of this study was to probe the specific role of long noncoding RNA taurine upregulation 1 (LncRNA TUG1) in viral myocarditis (VMC).
Methods: The mouse model of VMC was induced by Coxsackievirus type B3 (CVB3). LncRNA TUG1 was subsequently silenced, and micro-140-3p (miR-140-3p) was overexpressed in VMC mice.
