AI Article Synopsis

  • lncRNA is a long non-coding RNA in flowering plants, discovered to respond to hypoxic stress and salicylic acid (SA) treatment, though its function remains unclear.
  • Microarray analysis of Arabidopsis indicates lncRNA is closely linked to defense responses, particularly showing a strong correlation with certain gene levels under low SA concentrations, and its accumulation peaks around 5 days after germination.
  • The study reveals that lncRNA influences defense mechanisms and root growth in relation to SA response, with regulation being mediated by the NPR1 protein.

Article Abstract

lncRNA was previously identified in the flowering plant as an abundant Pol III-transcribed long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) of approximately 260 nt. lncRNA accumulation is responsive to hypoxic stress and salicylic acid (SA) treatment in roots, but its function has not yet been identified. In this study, microarray analysis of an mutant and wild-type Arabidopsis indicated a strong association of lncRNA with the defense response. accumulation exhibited an inverse correlation with an accumulation of two genes (/) when plants were exposed to exogenous low SA concentrations (20 µM), infected with , or in the early stage of development. The highest accumulation was observed 5 days after germination, at which time no or mRNA was detectable. The presence of low levels of SA resulted in a significant reduction of root length in seedlings, whereas and mutants exhibited the opposite phenotype. Taken together, lncRNA participates in Pathogenesis-Related Proteins 1 (PR-1)-independent defense and root elongation, which are related to the SA response. The mutual regulation of lncRNA and is mediated by Nonexpressor of Pathogenesis-Related Gene 1 (NPR1).

Background: Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are instrumental in treatment resistance, recurrence, and metastasis. The development of breast cancer and radiation sensitivity is intimately pertinent to long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). This work is formulated to investigate how the lncRNA affects the stemness and radioresistance of BCSCs.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a pivotal role in regulating gene expression and are critically involved in the progression of malignant brain tumors, including glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, and meningioma. These lncRNAs interact with microRNAs (miRNAs), proteins, and DNA, influencing key processes such as cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. This review highlights the multifaceted impact of lncRNA dysregulation on tumor progression and underscores their potential as therapeutic targets to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as critical regulators in honeybee physiology, influencing development, behavior, and stress responses. This study investigates the role of lncRNA LOC113219358 in the immune response and neurophysiological regulation of brains. Using RNA interference (RNAi) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), we demonstrate that silencing lncLOC113219358 significantly alters the expression of 162 mRNA transcripts, including genes associated with detoxification, energy metabolism, and neuronal signaling.

Stroke is a major cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide, making early diagnosis and effective treatment crucial for reducing its impact. In response to the limited efficacy of current treatments, alternative therapeutic strategies, such as novel biomarkers and therapies, are emerging to address this critical unmet medical need. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.
