Background: The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) growth arrest-specific transcript 5 () seems to be involved in the regulation of mediators of tissue injury, in particular matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We investigated the role of in regulating and expression in pediatric patients with IBD and in vitro.
Methods: In total, 25 IBD patients were enrolled: For each patient paired inflamed and non-inflamed biopsies were collected. RNA was extracted and , , and were quantified by TaqMan assay. The expression of and MMPs was also determined in the human monocytic THP1 cells differentiated into macrophages and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The function of was assessed by overexpressing the lncRNA and evaluating the MMPs levels.
Results: Real-time PCR results demonstrated a downregulation of and an upregulation of both MMPs in inflamed tissues. In vitro data confirmed the trend observed in patients for the three genes: The stimulation with LPS promoted a downregulation of while an increase of MMPs was observed. Overexpression experiments showed that higher levels of lead to a decrease of both enzymes.
Conclusion: These results provide new information about the role of in IBD: The lncRNA could mediate tissue damage by modulating the expression of MMPs.

Prostate cancer (PC) ranks among the most prevalent cancers in males. Recent studies have highlighted intricate connections between long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), natural products, and cellular signaling in PC development. LncRNAs, which are RNA transcripts without protein-coding function, influence cell growth, programmed cell death, metastasis, and resistance to treatments through pathways like PI3K/AKT, WNT/β-catenin, and androgen receptor signaling.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a global health issue characterized by abnormal blood glucose levels and is often associated with excessive hepatic gluconeogenesis. Increased circulating non-essential amino acids (NEAAs) are consistently observed in individuals with T2D; however, the specific contribution of each amino acid to T2D pathogenesis remains less understood. Here, we report an unexpected role of the NEAA proline in coordinating hepatic glucose metabolism by modulating paraspeckle, a nuclear structure scaffolded by the long non-coding RNA Neat1.

Cardiac myxoma (CM) is an important aetiology of stroke in young adults, and its diagnosis is difficult in patients having stroke because of the lack of diagnostic biomarkers. Tumour-derived exosomes play a crucial role in tumour growth, metastasis, immune regulation, and monitor disease development. Hence,we established an RNA-sequencing dataset for long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and messenger RNA (mRNA) in the plasma and tumour-derived exosomes from four patients with cardiac myxoma-related ischaemic stroke (CM-IS) and six patients with cardiac myxoma without ischaemic stroke (non-IS CM).

Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is a significant global health issue, being the third most common cancer worldwide and the second most frequent cause of cancerrelated deaths. It occurs when cells in the colon or rectum grow uncontrollably, often developing from precancerous polyps. Genetic predisposition and environmental factors, such as diet and lifestyle, contribute to the disease.
