Accumulating evidence reveals the essential roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumorigenesis. Here, our research investigated the biological roles of novel lncRNA LINC00337 in the NSCLC tumorigenesis and discover the potential mechanism. In the NSCLC tissue and cell lines, LINC00337 was found to be remarkedly up-regulated, and the ectopic LINC00337 overexpression indicated the poor survival of NSCLC patients. In vitro, gain and loss of functional assays showed that LINC00337 promoted the progression of NSCLC cells, including proliferation and invasion. In vivo, LINC00337 knockdown inhibited the tumor growth of NSCLC cells. Mechanically, LINC00337 could recruit the epigenetic repressor DNMT1 to the promoter region of TIMP2 to silence its expression. In conclusion, our study found the critical regulation of lncRNA LINC00337 for the NSCLC through epigenetic regulation, which may serve as a predictive biomarker and potential therapeutic target.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as pivotal regulatory molecules in cancer biology. Among these, long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 02418 (LINC02418), a recently identified lncRNA, has been linked to endometrial cancer (EC), although its function and operational mechanisms are largely unclear. The present investigation aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism through which LINC02418 influences EC pathogenesis.

Identification of pain-related long non-coding RNAs for pulpitis prediction.

Clin Oral Investig

January 2025

Department of Endodontics, Guangdong Engineering Research Center of Oral Restoration and Reconstruction, Guangzhou Key Laboratory of Basic and Applied Research of Oral Regenerative Medicine, Affiliated Stomatology Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

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).

In most solid tumors, cellular energy metabolism is primarily dominated by aerobic glycolysis, which fulfills the high demand for biomacromolecules at the expense of reduced ATP production efficiency. Elucidation of the mechanisms by which rapidly proliferating malignant cells acquire sufficient energy in this state of inefficient ATP production from glycolysis could enable development of metabolism targeted therapeutic strategies. In this study, we observed a significant association between elevated expression levels of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG17 and unfavorable prognosis in breast cancer (BCa).

Background/aims: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant and insidious tumor that is tricky to treat. Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) LINC01123 is a biomolecule that influences cancer progression by regulating gene expression via influencing the regulatory function of microRNAs in gene expression. Therefore, this study investigated the connection between LINC01123 and CCA and explored the underlying mechanism.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common subtype of primary liver cancer with varied incidence and epidemiology worldwide. Sorafenib is still a recommended treatment for a large proportion of patients with advanced HCC. Different patterns of treatment responsiveness have been identified in differentiated hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells and metastatic HCC SNU449 cells.
