Glioma is the most aggressive, commonly occurring brain tumor in adults. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are among the gene expression regulators in cancer development. Previous research posited that the up-regulation of LncRNA TP73-AS1 (TP73-AS1) in glioma is linked to low survival rates. However, the precise LncRNA TP73-AS1 mechanism in glioma remains unknown. Herein, we found that TP73-AS1 was up-regulated in glioma and was associated with a dismal prognosis. The silencing of TP73-AS1 repressed the multiplication of glioma cells and caused cell death. Mechanistically, we identified that TP73-AS1 in glioma acts as a ceRNA by sequestering miR-103a from GALNT7. Further, the results of this study revealed a reciprocal expression between TP73-AS1 and miR-103a, and a positive regulation between TP73-AS1 and GALNT7, validating the identified mechanism. Besides, luciferase reporter assay identified miR-103a as the direct binding site of both TP73-AS1 and GALNT7. Moreover, the findings of CCK-8 and colony-formation assays indicated that exogenous expression of GALNT7 reversed TP73-AS1-induced division inhibition of glioma cells. Altogether, our results established that TP73-AS1 facilitates the progression of glioma through competing for endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in a TP73-AS1/miR-103a/GALNT7 loop.

Background: Hypoxic conditions in glioma are linked to tumor aggressiveness, poor prognosis, and treatment resistance. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in the hypoxic and immune microenvironment of cancers, but their link to hypoxia-induced immunosuppression in high-grade glioma (HGG) is not well-studied.
Methods: Gene expression profiles from TCGA and CGGA, along with clinical and genomic data, were analyzed.

Background: Medulloblastoma is one of the common primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancies in pediatric patients. The main treatment is surgical resection preceded and/or followed by chemoradiotherapy. However, their serious side effects necessitate a better understanding of medulloblastoma biology to develop novel therapeutic options.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules of 200 nucleotides or more in length that are not translated into proteins. Their expression is tissue-specific, with the vast majority involved in the regulation of cellular processes and functions. Many human diseases, including cancer, have been shown to be associated with deregulated lncRNAs, rendering them potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers for differential diagnosis.
