Objective: Glioma is one of the most common central nervous system malignant tumors, accounting for 45%-60% of adult intracranial tumors. However, the clinical treatment of glioma is limited. It is of great significance to seek new therapeutic methods for glioma via gene therapy.

Materials And Methods: Microarray is used to identify the lncRNAs that are differentially expressed in glioma. The expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) ROR1-AS1 and miR-4686 was detected by qRT-PCR. Exosomes were isolated from the supernatant of normal and cancerous cells, and TEM was used for exosomes identification. MTT assay, wound healing assay, transwell assay, and colony formation assay were used to detect the exo-ROR1-AS1 function on proliferation, migration, and invasion in glioma cells. Luciferase assay and RIP assay were used to identify the relationship between lncRNA ROR1-AS1 and miR-4686. The effect of exo-ROR1-AS1 on tumorigenesis of glioma was confirmed by the xenograft nude mice model.

Results: ROR1-AS1 was up-regulated in glioma tissues, and the high expression of ROR1-AS1 indicated a poor prognosis in glioma patients. Interestingly, ROR1-AS1 was packaged into exosomes and derived from tumor cells. Functional analysis showed exo-ROR1-AS1 promoted the progression of glioma cell lines SHG44 and U251. Furthermore, ROR1-AS1 acted as a sponge of miR-4686 and inhibited its expression. Functionally, forced expression of miR-4686 removed the promoted effects of lncRNA ROR1-AS1 on glioma development. In vivo tumorigenesis experiments showed that exo-ROR1-AS1 promoted glioma development via miR-4686 axis.

Conclusion: Our study suggested tumor cells derived exo-ROR1-AS1 promoted glioma progression by inhibiting miR-4686, which might be a potential therapeutic target for glioma clinical treatment.

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is a non-coding RNA with a length of more than 200 nucleotides, involved in multiple regulatory processes in vivo, and is related to the physiology and pathology of human diseases. An increasing number of experimental results suggest that when lncRNA is abnormally expressed, it results in the development of tumors. LncRNAs can be divided into five broad categories: sense, antisense, bidirectional, intronic, and intergenic.

Background: Targeting ferroptosis is a potential strategy for cancer treatment. Activated cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can affect the progression of lung cancer through exosomes. This study investigated the mechanism by which exosomal lncRNA ROR1-AS1 derived from CAFs affects ferroptosis of lung cancer cells.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in many pathophysiological processes, including cancer progression. Namely, lncRNA Receptor-tyrosine-kinase-like orphan receptor-1 antisense 1 (ROR1-AS1) is crucial for cancer occurrence and progression in organs such as the liver or bladder. However, its expression and role in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) have not been thoroughly explored.

Introduction: The emergence of multiple variants of concerns (VOCs) with higher number of Spike mutations have led to enhanced immune escape by the SARS-CoV-2. With the increasing number of vaccination breakthrough (VBT) infections, it is important to understand the possible reason/s of the breakthrough infections.

Methods: We performed transcriptome sequencing of 57 VBT and unvaccinated COVID-19 patients, followed by differential expression and co-expression analysis of the lncRNAs and the mRNAs.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtype characterized by overexpression of CCND1 and SOX11 genes. It is generally associated with clinically poor outcomes despite recent improvements in therapeutic approaches. The genes associated with the development and prognosis of MCL are still largely unknown.
