Background: Growing evidences indicate that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an important role in the regulation of biological behavior of tumor. We aim to explore the role of circRNA in glioma and elucidate how circRNA acts.
Methods: Real-time PCR was used to examine the expression of circPTN in glioma tissues and normal brain tissues (NBT). Assays of dual- luciferase reporter system, biotin label RNA pull-down and FISH were used to determine that circPTN could sponge miR-145-5p and miR-330-5p. Tumor sphere formation assay was performed to determine self- renewal of glioma stem cell (GSCs). Cell counting Kit-8 (CCK8), EdU assay and flow cytometry were used to investigate proliferation and cell cycle. Intracranial xenograft was established to determine how circPTN impacts in vivo. Tumor sphere formation assay was performed to determine self- renewal of glioma stem cell (GSCs).
Results: We demonstrated circPTN was significantly higher expression in glioma tissues and glioma cell lines, compared with NBT and HEB (human astrocyte). In gain- and loss-of-function experiments, circPTN significantly promoted glioma growth in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we performed dual-luciferase reporter assays and RNA pull-down assays to verify that circPTN acts through sponging miR-145-5p and miR-330-5p. Increasing expression of circPTN rescued the inhibition of proliferation and downregulation of SOX9/ITGA5 in glioma cells by miR-145-5p/miR-330-5p. In addition, we found that circPTN promoted self-renewal and increased the expression of stemness markers (Nestin, CD133, SOX9, and SOX2) via sponging miR-145-5p. Moreover, this regulation was disappeared when circPTN binding sites in miR-145-5p were mutated.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that circPTN is an oncogenic factor that acts by sponging miR-145-5p/miR-330-5p in glioma.

The Intricate Role of Non-Coding RNAs in Sepsis-Associated Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation.
Int J Mol Sci

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) is a type of tissue and organ dysregulation in sepsis, due mainly to the effect of the inflammation on the coagulation system. Unfortunately, the underlying molecular mechanisms that lead to this disorder are not fully understood. Moreover, current biomarkers for DIC, including biological and clinical parameters, generally provide a poor diagnosis and prognosis.

Backgrounds: Traditional Chinese medicine roots and rhizomes of Clematis chinensis Osbeck (CCO) has the effect of improving rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Clematichinenoside AR (CAR) is an effective monomer of CCO and a promising natural product for the treatment of RA.
Methods: In this work, we aim to systematically evaluate whether CAR can improve RA pathology, inhibit the fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) proliferation and inflammatory response, and further investigate the mechanism of CAR inhibiting RA through molecular docking, molecular dynamics and molecular biology methods.
Results: Combined with the research results of CIA mice and FLS from RA patients, we found that CAR significantly improved the severity of CIA mice, and inhibited the proliferation and inflammatory response of FLS.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most prevalent cancers, accounting for around 80% of total lung cancer cases worldwide. Exploring the function and mechanism of circRNAs could provide insights into the diagnosis and treatment for NSCLC.
Methods: In this study, we collected tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues from NSCLC patients to detect the expression level of circPTN and analyzed the association of its expression level with the clinicopathological parameter of NSCLC patients.

Background: Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is a highly malignant tumor with a poor prognosis worldwide. Some studies have demonstrated that circular pleiotrophin (circPTN) plays critical roles in tumorigenesis and tumor development. However, little is known about the role of circPTN in NSCLC.
