Endometrial carcinoma is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in females. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been associated with cancer; its role in endometrial carcinoma is an emerging area of research. In this article, lncRNA TDRG1 expression in human endometrial carcinoma tissues and normal endometrial tissues was quantified by qRT-PCR. LncRNA TDRG1 was overexpressed or knocked-down in neither HEC-1B nor Ishikawa endometrial carcinoma cells, respectively, to assess cellular phenotype and expression of related molecules. Our results showed that lncRNA TDRG1 was significantly overexpressed in endometrial carcinoma tissues. Overexpression of lncRNA TDRG1 promoted endometrial carcinoma cell viability, invasion and migratory ability, inhibited apoptosis, and upregulated VEGF-A, PI3K, Bcl-2, MMP2 and survivin; knockdown of lncRNA TDRG1 had the opposite effects. LncRNA TDRG1 overexpression increased tumorigenicity in vivo and was associated with the upregulation of VEGF-A. RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays confirmed that lncRNA TDRG1 directly binds to VEGF-A protein. Furthermore, knockdown of VEGFA in lncRNA TDRG1-overexpressing endometrial carcinoma cells reversed the effects of lncRNA TDRG1 on cell proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis. In conclusion, lncRNA TDRG1 may promote endometrial carcinoma cell proliferation and invasion by positively targeting VEGF-A and modulating relative genes.

Article Synopsis
- Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a severe cardiovascular condition linked to high rates of disability and death, and this study investigates the role of the TDRG1 protein in myocardial damage during such events.
- The research involved using various techniques, including qRT-PCR and flow cytometry, to assess inflammation, oxidation, and apoptosis in heart cells subjected to oxygen deprivation and reoxygenation.
- Findings revealed that TDRG1 levels were elevated in AMI patients and were inversely related to miR-330-5p, suggesting that the TDRG1/miR-330-5p interaction plays a significant role in regulating inflammation and cell death in heart cells affected by hypoxia.
Analysis of Correlation Between LncRNA TDRG1 Expression and its Prognosis in Cervical Carcinoma Tissues.

To explore and analyze the correlation between LncRNA TDRG1 expression degree and the prognosis of cervical carcinoma tissues. The cervical cancer tissues and para-carcinoma tissues of 106 patients with cervical carcinoma surgically removed in our hospital were chosen as specimens. LncRNA TDRG1 expression in cervical carcinoma tissues and para-carcinoma tissues was inspected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, and the correlation between LncRNA TDRG1 and the clinicopathological parameters and disease prognosis was analyzed.

The roles of long non-coding RNA TDRG1 have been revealed in several tumors, especially its roles in CSC progression have been recently elucidated; However, its effects in lung CSC progression have not been revealed. In the present study, we collected 3D non-adherent spheres as the CSC model to measure lncRNA TDRG1 level in lung CSC and the parental lung cancer cells, and found that TDRG1 level was significantly upregulated in lung CSCs compared to that of parental lung cancer cells. Then we constructed the lung CSCs with or without TDRG1 stable knockdown and lung cancer cells with or without TDRG1 stable overexpression.

Background: Sepsis is a highly life-threatening heterogeneous syndrome and a global health burden. Studies have shown that many genetic variants could influence the risk of sepsis. Long non-coding RNA may participate in functional alteration of endothelial cell vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling, whereas its relevance between the polymorphism and sepsis susceptibility is still unclear.
