The aberrant expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been involved in the progression of many human tumors including osteosarcoma (OS). However, the biological function and the underlying mechanism of the lncRNA myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) in OS remain unclear. In the present study, we found that lncRNA MIAT was significantly up-regulated in both OS tissues and cell lines, and high expression of MIAT was positively associated with tumor size and lymph node metastasis of OS patients. In addition, knockdown of MIAT inhibited proliferation, migration, invasion and promoted apoptosis of OS cells in vitro. Moreover, the expression of MIAT was negatively associated with miR-128-3p but positively correlated with vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) in OS. Further mechanistic study revealed that lncRNA MIAT promoted OS progression by up-regulating VEGFC via sponging miR-128-3p in vitro. Taken together, our results suggest that MIAT/miR-128-3p/VEGFC axis contributes to OS progression and may be used as a novel therapeutic target for OS. © 2019 IUBMB Life, 9999(9999):1-9, 2019.

Objectives: We investigated the recently generated RNA-sequencing dataset of pulpitis to identify the potential pain-related lncRNAs for pulpitis prediction.
Materials And Methods: Differential analysis was performed on the gene expression profile between normal and pulpitis samples to obtain pulpitis-related genes. The co-expressed gene modules were identified by weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA).

Long non-coding ribonucleic acids (lncRNAs) have been implicated as possible circulating stroke indicators. This study focused on the expression status of antisense non-coding ribonucleic acid in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) and myocardial infarction associated transcript (MIAT) in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). In this study, fifty patients with CVT and one hundred age/gender-matched individuals as controls were included.

Limiting the level of piglet losses before weaning is a growing demand from producers and society to improve the welfare and health of sows and piglets. In particular, perinatal mortality, which can be defined as the complete development allowing survival at birth, is mostly due to reduced piglet maturity that occurs at the end of gestation. Fetal growth and maturation depend on a fine balance between the nutrient requirements for optimal fetal growth and the maternal nutrient requirements.

Objective: This study aims to explore the clinical significance of long non-coding RNA, myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT), in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Methods: Retrospective inclusion of TBI patients meeting clinical criteria with complete data, alongside healthy controls. RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of the serum MIAT.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) manifests in premature neonates with aberrant pulmonary function. Numerous long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of BPD. This study aims to elucidate the impact of the lncRNA myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) on the initiation and progression of BPD.
