Long noncoding RNA, long intergenic non-protein-coding RNA p53-induced transcript (LINC-PINT) was showed to be involved in cancer development. However, the biological effect of LINC-PINT on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unknown. Here, we aimed to investigate the role and underlying mechanism of LINC-PINT in NSCLC. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to measure the level of LINC-PINT in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), flow cytometry, migration and transwell invasion assays were used to investigate cell proliferation, cell cycle, cell migration and invasion, respectively. The targets of LINC-PINT were verified by both luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. Tumour xenografts were used to reveal the effect of LINC-PINT on tumourigenesis in vivo. We observed that LINC-PINT expression increased in both NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Function assays exhibited that LINC-PINT reduced NSCLC cell proliferation, cell cycle, cell migration and invasion in vitro. We also indicated that LINC-PINT mediated inhibitory effect on cell proliferation, cell cycle, cell migration and invasion by miR-208a-3p/programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) in NSCLC cells. These findings indicated that LINC-PINT functions as a tumour-suppressor that exerts important regulatory roles in NSCLC progression by sponging miR-208a-3p/PDCD4.

The exploration of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in living cells is of great significance for achieving tumor diagnosis and treatment. However, visualization of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway induced by specific proteins has rarely been reported. In this paper, we designed and synthesized a fluorescent probe Cy-JQ1 based on the bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) inhibition.

RNA imaging technology is essential for understanding the complex RNA regulatory mechanisms and serves as a powerful tool for disease diagnosis. However, conventional RNA imaging methods often require multiple fluorescent tags for the specific labeling of individual targets, complicating both the imaging process and subsequent analysis. Herein, we develop an RNA sensor that integrates a blocked CRISPR RNA (crRNA)-based conformational switch with a controllable CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) system and apply for RNA imaging.

Early ultrastructural damage in retina and optic nerve following intraocular pressure elevation.

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a significant risk factor for glaucoma, causing structural and functional damage to the eye. Increased IOP compromises the metabolic and structural integrity of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons, leading to progressive degeneration and influencing the ocular immune response. This study investigated early cellular and molecular changes in the retina and optic nerve (ON) following ocular hypertension (OHT).

To further evaluate the effects of lymphocyte immunotherapy (LIT) for the treatment of RPL patients this study aimed to utilize this type of treatment in RPL patients with positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in comparison to ANA-negative RPL women. To this aim, 84 ANA-positive, 114 ANA negative, and 50 healthy pregnant women were recruited. To examine the frequency of cells before and after LIT, flowcytometry technique was employed.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a critical half-reaction in water splitting and metal-air cells. The sensitivity of the OER to the composition and structure of the electrocatalyst presents a significant challenge in elucidating the structure-property relationship. In this study, highly stable single-crystal cobalt carbonate hydroxide [Co(OH)CO, CoCH] was used as a model to investigate the correlations among structure, composition, and reactivity.
