Background: Increasing studies have demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in tumor progression. However, the potential biological functions and clinical importance of Linc01234 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remain unclear.
Methods: We evaluated the expression profile and prognostic value of Linc01234 in OSCC tissues by RT-qPCR. Then, functional in vitro experiments were performed to investigate the effects of Linc01234 on tumor growth, migration and invasion in OSCC. Mechanistically, RT-qPCR, bioinformatic analysis and dual luciferase reporter assays were performed to identify a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism involving Linc01234, miR-433-3p and PAK4.
Results: We found that Linc01234 was clearly upregulated in OSCC tissues and cell lines, and its level was positively associated with T stage, lymph node metastasis, differentiation and poor prognosis of patients with OSCC. Our results shown that Linc01234 inhibited cell proliferation and metastatic abilities in CAL27 and SCC25 cells following its knockdown. Mechanistic analysis indicated that Linc01234 may act as a ceRNA (competing endogenous RNA) of miR-433-3p to relieve the repressive effect of miR-433-3p on its target PAK4.
Conclusions: Our results indicated that Linc01234 promotes OSCC progression through the Linc01234/miR-433/PAK4 axis and might be a potential therapeutic target for OSCC.

Despite significant advances in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), identification of novel targets and treatment options are imperative for improving its prognosis and survival rates. The mitochondrial SIRT3 and SHMT2 have key roles in metabolic reprogramming and cell proliferation. This study investigated the potential use of the natural product apigenin in CRC treatment employing both in vivo and in vitro models and explored the role of SIRT3 and SHMT2 in apigenin-induced CRC apoptosis.

Non-coding RNAs, including long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and micro-RNA (miRNA), have been implicated in osteoporosis (OP) progression by regulating osteoblast-dependent bone metabolism. Herein, we investigated whether LINC01234, miR-513a-5p, and AOX1 regulate osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). The expression of LINC01234, miR-513a-5p, and AOX1 was monitored using RT-qPCR or western blotting.
