Objective: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been strongly associated with various types of cancer. The present study aimed at exploring the diagnostic and prognostic value of lncRNA Zinc finger protein 667-antisense RNA 1 (ZNF667-AS1) in glioma patients. . The expressions of ZNF667-AS1 were detected in 155 glioma tissues and matched normal brain tissue samples by qRT-PCR. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed to estimate the diagnostic value of ZNF667-AS1. The association between the ZNF667-AS1 expression and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed by the chi-square test. The Kaplan-Meier method was performed to determine the influence of the ZNF667-AS1 expression on the overall survival and disease-free survival of glioma patients. The Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the effect of independent prognostic factors on survival outcome. Cell proliferation was measured by the respective cell counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays.
Results: We observed that ZNF667-AS1 was significantly upregulated in glioma tissues compared to normal tissue samples ( < 0.01). Higher levels of ZNF667-AS1 were positively associated with the WHO grade ( = 0.018) and KPS score ( = 0.008). ROC assays revealed that the high ZNF667-AS1 expression had an AUC value of 0.8541 (95% CI: 0.8148 to 0.8934) for glioma. Survival data revealed that glioma patients in the high ZNF667-AS1 expression group had significantly shorter 5-year overall survival ( = 0.0026) and disease-free survival ( = 0.0005) time than those in the low ZNF667-AS1 expression group. Moreover, multivariate analyses confirmed that the ZNF667-AS1 expression was an independent predictor of the overall survival and disease-free survival for glioma patients. Functionally, we found that knockdown of ZNF667-AS1 suppressed the proliferation of glioma cells.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that ZNF667-AS1 could be used as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in glioma.

Uveal melanoma (UM) has emerged as one of the most common primary intraocular malignant tumors worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as decisive factors in the progression and metastasis of UM, involving in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of UM. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of lncRNAs closely associated with EMT-related genes in the TCGA UM cohort, identifying 961 EMT-related lncRNAs.

A representative set of clinical samples was used: 140 primary tumors from patients without and with metastases and 59 peritoneal metastases. Using MS-qPCR, we demonstrated an increase in methylation levels of all ten lncRNA genes in tumors compared to normal tissues ( < 0.

Background: Docetaxel (DTX) resistance attenuates anti-tumor effects of DTX on prostate cancer (mCRPC) and drug resistance was related to Treg expansion in tumors. ZNF667-AS1 played a suppressing role in various tumors and tumor-derived exosomes carry lncRNAs to participate in tumor progression. Here, the effects of ZNF667-AS1 on malignant characteristics and DTX resistance in PC and the effect and its underlying molecular mechanism of tumor-derived exosomes carrying ZNF667-AS1 on Treg expansion were investigated.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a widespread allergic airway disease that results from a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors and affects approximately 10%-40% of the global population. Pollen is a common allergen, and exposure to pollen can cause epigenetic changes. However, the mechanism underlying pollen-induced DNA methylation changes and their potential effects on the allergic march are still unclear.
