Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the serious complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus, which could lead to visual impairment. Growing evidence have revealed the involvement of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the pathogenesis of DR. Thus, this study was performed to investigate the role of lncRNA SNHG7 (small nucleolar RNA host gene 7) in high glucose (HG)-induced proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of human retinal endothelial cells (hRECs). We discovered that SNHG7 was decreased in hRECs under HG stimuli. Although SNHG7 had no influence on cell viability, migration and angiogenesis under condition, overexpression of SNHG7 inhibited the HG-induced cell proliferation, migration and angiogenesis, as well as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in HG condition. In terms of mechanism, we found that SNHG7 directly inhibited miR-543, which targeted the 3'-UTR of Silent information regulator T1 (SIRT1) mRNA and subsequently downregulated the VEGF expression in hRECs. Ultimately, upregulation of miR-543 or inhibition of SIRT1 both abrogated the effect of SNHG7 on HG-induced angiogenesis. Collectively, our results suggested that SNHG7 is a potential molecular target for attenuating HG-induced angiogenesis in the DR through regulation of the miR-543-mediated SIRT1/VEGF pathway.

To investigate CHD1L's impacts and molecular processes in hypoxic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Monoclonal proliferation assays and CCK-8 were used to detect the proliferation capacity of A431 cells and Colon16 cells; wound healing experiments and Transwell assays were used to examine the migration and invasion capacity of A431 cells and Colon16 cells; angiogenesis experiments were conducted to assess the influence of A431 cells on angiogenesis; a nude mouse tumor xenograft experiment and HE staining were utilized to evaluate the impact of CHD1L on the progression of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma; western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression of p-PI3K, p-AKT, and PD-L1 in A431 cells, as well as CD9, TSG101, PD-L1 in exosomes, and CD206, Arginase-1, iNOS, IL-1β, p-AKT, p-mTOR, VEGF, COX-2, MMP2, MMP9, p-ERK1/2 in tumor-associated macrophages. Under hypoxic conditions, CHD1L promoted the proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Litter size in pigs is affected by factors such as ovulation number, embryonic survival, and uterine environment conditions. Endometrial epithelial and stromal cells represent the first site of contact between the embryo and sows; therefore, dynamic changes in the growth and development of these cells are among the major factors affecting the intrauterine environment and implantation. Bone morphogenetic protein receptor type-1B (BMPR1B) is a receptor of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family that has been identified as a candidate gene for reproductive traits in pigs.
