Background: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG5 has been found to play an important role in tumors. Nevertheless, the function and mechanism of lncRNA SNHG5 in osteosarcoma (OS) remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether lncRNA SNHG5 can regulate the occurrence and development of OS cells.
Methods: We performed quantitative real time PCR to detect the expression of lncRNA SNHG5 in OS cells. 143B, MG63 (knockdown) and U2OS, U2R (overexpression) cell lines were chosen for the function study of SNHG5. The effect of SNHG5, miR-212-3p, and SGK3 in OS cells was explored by MTT assays, clony formation, flow cytometry, transwell assays, wound healing assays, and cell spreading assays. Quantitative real-time PCR, Western blot analysis and luciferase assays were used to detect the interaction between lncRNA SNHG5 and miR-212-3p.
Results: In this study, knockdown of lncRNA SNHG5 suppressed the growth and metastasis of OS cells, whereas the overexpression of SNHG5 produced an opposite result. Mechanistically, lncRNA SNHG5 functions as a sponger against miR-212-3p and suppresses the miR-212-3p/SGK3 signaling pathway. Introduction of miR-212-3p mimics or inhibitors reverses SNHG5 overexpression or silences the exerted tumor promoting or suppressing effect. In addition, our results showed that the function of SNHG5 can be rescued by miR-212-3p and can regulate the growth and metastasis of OS cells via SGK3, the downstream target of miR-212-3p.
Conclusions: In summary, our study demonstrated that lncRNA SNHG5 can regulate the proliferation and metastasis of OS cells through the miR-212-3p/SGK3 axis. This axis may provide a new target for future clinical treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers investigated the role of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in renal ischemia and reperfusion injury (RIRI) in kidney transplant patients, aiming to find potential biomarkers for diagnosis.
- They analyzed datasets and compared gene expressions to identify specific RBPs, particularly NR4A2 and NR4A3, which showed consistent overexpression in RIRI cases and were linked to specific molecular pathways.
- The study also outlined connections between these biomarkers and various noncoding RNAs and transcription factors, and predicted possible drugs related to NR4A2 and NR4A3, contributing valuable insights for clinical applications in treating RIRI.

Article Synopsis
- Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) may serve as important prognostic biomarkers for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), influencing patient outcomes significantly.
- A systematic review analyzed 27 studies involving 5,665 patients, revealing that abnormal lncRNA expression correlates with worse overall survival and lower remission rates in AML patients.
- Specific lncRNAs like HOTAIR and MALAT1 are linked to poor prognosis, while decreased expression of IRAIN is also associated with worse outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the expression of long non-coding RNA SNHG families in liver cancer tissues relates to patient prognosis.
- Most SNHG members are found to be overexpressed in liver cancer, indicating a correlation with poor survival rates, particularly for SNHG5, which shows a strong association with negative outcomes.
- The findings suggest that SNHG could serve as a potential predictive marker and therapeutic target for improving liver cancer treatment and prognosis.
