Published: October 2021

Background: LncRNA is a kind of non-coding RNA and its research is more popular in recent years, which has more than 200 nucleotides. It plays a significant part in various biological functions, including chromosome modification, genome modification, transcriptional activation, transcriptional interference, and other processes. FTX, at the center of the X chromosome inactivation and it has been shown that lncRNA FTX regulates cancer cells' development, migration, and invasion in many studies.

Methods: Relevant literature was collected through the PubMed system search and is summarized in this article.

Results: LncRNA FTX abnormally increased in tumor cells, such as liver cancer, stomach cancer, leukemia, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, glioma, osteosarcoma, etc. However, the expression level decreased in temporal lobe epilepsy, liver cirrhosis, heart failure, etc. Conclusion: FTX may be an important regulatory factor and a potential therapeutic target in cancers.

Article Synopsis
  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive tumor, and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in its development, particularly the lncRNA FTX.
  • The study found that FTX is less active in HCC patients, leading to poorer outcomes, and that its expression is reduced due to DNA methylation by DNMT1.
  • Enhancing FTX levels triggers cell death (ferroptosis) in HCC cells by regulating the miR-374b-3p/TFRC pathway, suggesting the DNMT1/FTX/miR-374b-3p/TFRC pathway could be a promising target for new therapies in HCC

Introduction: X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is an essential mechanism for dosage compensation between females and males in mammals. In females, XCI is controlled by a complex, conserved locus termed the X inactivation center (Xic), in which the lncRNA Xist is the key regulator. However, little is known about the Xic in species with unusual sex chromosomes.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant risk factor for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and PAD is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disorders (CVDs). Growing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) significantly contribute to disease development and underlying complications, particularly affecting smooth muscle cells (SMCs). So far, no study has focused on transcriptome analysis of lncRNAs in PAD patients with and without DM.
