Aim: This study aimed to explore the role of lncRNA leukemia inhibitory factor receptor antisense RNA 1 (LIFR-AS1) on glioma and its underlying molecular mechanism.
Methods: The expression of LIFR-AS1 and miR-4262 was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-RCR) in both glioma tissues and cell lines. Colony formation assay, 5-ethynyl-20-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, flow cytometry and transwell assay were respectively conducted to detect cell clones, proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion. The effect of LIFR-AS1 on the chemoresistance to temozolomide (TMZ) of glioma cells was also analyzed. In addition, dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to evaluate the luciferase activity. The expressions of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65, p-NF-κB p65 and inhibitor of κBα (IκBα) in glioma cells were measured by western blot.
Results: LIFR-AS1 was lowly expressed and miR-4262 was highly expressed in glioma tissues and cell lines. LIFR-AS1 overexpression inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion and promoted apoptosis of glioma cells. LIFR-AS1 overexpression also reduced the chemoresistance to TMZ of glioma cells. Moreover, LIFR-AS1 overexpression suppressed the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway in glioma cells. miR-4262 was the target gene of LIFR-AS1. We also found that miR-4262 abrogated the functions of LIFR-AS1 on cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of glioma cells in the NF-κB pathway.
Conclusion: LIFR-AS1 could suppress the proliferation, migration and invasion and promote the apoptosis through modulating miR-4262/NF-κB pathway in glioma.

This study aimed to develop and evaluate a novel fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-specific tracer, fluorine-18-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor-FUSCC-07 ([F]F-FAPI-FUSCC-07), for use in both preclinical and clinical settings. Preclinical evaluations were conducted to assess the stability and partition coefficient of [F]F-FAPI-FUSCC-07. Experiments involving human glioma U87MG cells demonstrated its cellular uptake and inhibitory properties.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations frequently occur in lower-grade gliomas and secondary glioblastomas. Mutant IDHs exhibit a gain-of-function activity, leading to the production of D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG) by reducing α-ketoglutarate (α-KG), a central player in metabolism and epigenetic modifications. However, the role of α-KG homeostasis in IDH-mutated gliomagenesis remains elusive.

Glioma stem cells (GSCs) in the hypoxic niches contribute to tumor initiation, progression, and recurrence in glioblastoma (GBM). Metabolic pathways are altered in GSCs under hypoxia, but the mechanism underlying the altered one-carbon metabolism in GSCs by hypoxia is largely unknown. Here, we report that hypoxia induces down-regulation of DHFR as well as up-regulation of MAT2A in GBM tumorsphere cells, and confers them the ability of cell proliferation that is independent of exogenous folate.

Background: Lower-grade glioma (LGG) exhibits significant heterogeneity in clinical outcomes, and current prognostic markers have limited predictive value. Despite the growing recognition of histone modifications in tumor progression, their role in LGG remains poorly understood. This study aimed to develop a histone modification-based risk signature and investigate its relationship with drug sensitivity to guide personalized treatment strategies.

Introduction: The Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathway is pivotal in regulating various biological processes such as early embryonic development, neural crest cell migration, and cancer invasion. Despite advances in understanding the role of Wnt/PCP pathway dysregulation in tumorigenesis, numerous unanswered questions remain. Our study focused on VANGL2, a core PCP gene, to elucidate its potential mechanistic involvement in cancer development.
