LncRNA LINC00974 participates in oral fibrogenesis, indicating possible involvement in other oral diseases. The authors found that LINC00974 was upregulated in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and predicted poor survival. In OSCC tissues, LINC00974 was inversely correlated with miR-122 and positively correlated with RhoA. In OSCC cells, LINC00974 overexpression resulted in upregulated, whereas overexpression of miR-122 led to downregulated RhoA. Moreover, downregulated miR-122 was observed after LINC00974 overexpression, whereas LINC00974 expression was not significantly affected by miR-122 overexpression. In invasion and migration assay, miR-122 overexpression resulted in reduced, whereas LINC00974 and RhoA overexpression resulted in increased rate of cancer cell migration and invasion. In addition, miR-122 overexpression reduced the effects of LINC00974 overexpression. Therefore, LINC00974 can downregulate miR-122 to upregulate RhoA in OSCC, thereby promoting cell invasion and migration.

It is known that LINC00974 is an oncogenic long noncoding RNA in liver cancer. The authors observed in this study that LINC00974 was upregulated in gastric cancer (GC) and positively correlated with CDK6. Survival analysis showed that high levels of LINC00974 and CDK6 predicted poor survival.

Background: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a progressive scarring disease and has been considered as a premalignant condition of the oral cavity. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of OSF are still unclear.

Method: Here, we examined the expression of a novel long non-coding RNA LINC00974 in OSF and investigated its function role in myofibroblast transdifferentiation.
