Article Abstract
Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcribed pervasively in the genome and act to regulate chromatin remodeling and gene expression. Dysregulated lncRNA expression has been reported in many cancers, but the role of lncRNAs in esophageal cancer (EC) has so far remained poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to understand the effect of lncRNA LINC01234 on EC development through competitively binding to microRNA-193a-5p (miR-193a-5p).
Methods: The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used for microarray-based EC expression profiling. Gain- and loss-of-function analyses were carried out in human EC-derived Eca-109 and EC9706 cells. Expression analyses of miR-193a-5p, LINC01234, CCNE1, caspase-3, p21, Bax, cyclinD1 and Bcl-2 were performed using RT-qPCR and Western blotting. Cell proliferation, colony formation and apoptosis analyses were carried out using MTT, Hoechst 33258 and flow cytometry assays. A xenograft EC model in nude mice was used to evaluate in vivo tumor growth and CCNE1 expression.
Results: Microarray-based analyses revealed that LINC01234 expression was increased in primary EC samples, whereas that of miR-193a-5p was decreased. We found that CCNE1 was a target of miR-193a-5p and that LINC01234, in turn, sponges miR-193a-5p. After treatment with si-LINC01234 or miR-193a-5p mimic, EC cells (Eca-109 and EC9706) exhibited cyclinD1 and Bcl-2 downregulation, and caspase-3, p21, Bax and cleaved caspase-3 upregulation. LINC01234 silencing or miR-193a-5p upregulation resulted in decreased proliferation and colony formation, and increased apoptosis of EC cells. In addition, LINC01234 silencing or miR-193a-5p upregulation resulted in reduced in vivo EC tumor growth and CCNE1 expression in nude mice.
Conclusions: We found that silencing of LINC01234 suppresses EC development by inhibiting CCNE1 through competitively binding to miR-193a-5p, which suggests that LINC01234 may represent a novel target for EC therapy.

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.

Objective: Previous works have outlined the pivotal involvement of long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) in cancer progression, while the efficiency of LINC01234 in pancreatic cancer remained obscure. The purpose of this research is to unravel the regulatory mechanism of LINC01234 in pancreatic cancer via modulating microRNA (miR)-513a-3p and hexose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PD).
Methods: Pancreatic cancer cells were cultured and clinical tissue specimens were collected.

Many researches indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were involved in the malignant progression of tumors, including Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC). However, as for most lncRNAs, their biological behaviors and molecular mechanism remain unclear in ACC. In the present research, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify pathologically relevant gene, including lncRNAs.

Article Synopsis
- LINC01234 has been linked to the survival of ovarian cancer and is believed to influence the properties of ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSCs) through interactions with microRNA (miR)-27b-5p and sirtuins 5 (SIRT5).
- Through bioinformatics and experimental analyses, it was found that LINC01234 is up-regulated in ovarian cancer tissues and can restore SIRT5 levels by binding to miR-27b-5p.
- The study indicates that down-regulating LINC01234 or increasing miR-27b-5p can suppress the progression and tumorigenesis of OCSCs, highlighting a potential pathway for therapeutic intervention.
