Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to play important roles in glioma; however, most of them promote glioma progression. We constructed a competing endogenous (ceRNA) network based on the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas dataset, and lncRNA hect domain and RLD 2 pseudogene 2 (HERC2P2) is the core of this network. Highly connected genes in the ceRNA network classified the glioma patients into three clusters with significantly different survival rates. The expression of HERC2P2 is positively correlated with survival and negatively correlated with clinical grade. Cell colony formation, Transwell and cell scratch tests were performed to evaluate the role of HERC2P2 in glioblastoma growth. Furthermore, we overexpressed HERC2P2 in U87 cells and established a mouse intracranial glioma model to examine the function of HERC2P2 in vivo. In conclusion, we identified a lncRNA with tumor suppressor functions in glioma that could be a potential biomarker for glioma patients.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial regulatory molecules that participate in numerous cellular development processes, and they have gathered much interest recently. HOXA10 antisense RNA (HOXA10-AS, also known as HOXA-AS4) is a novel lncRNA that was identified to be dysregulated in some prevalent malignancies. In this review, the clinical significance of HOXA10-AS for the prognosis of various cancers is analyzed.

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.
