Hypertrophic Scar (HS) is a complicated fibrotic disease. In addition, its pathogenesis is still to be further explored. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been proved to be participated in multiple diseases, including HS. However, the role of lncRNA TUG1 in HS remains unclear. The expression level of RNA and protein in cells were detected by q-PCR and western blot, respectively. MTT assay was performed to test the cell proliferation. Cell migration was detected by transwell assay. Cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. Dual luciferase report assay and RNA pull down were used to verify the relationship between TUG1, miR-27b-3p and TAK1.TUG1 and TAK1 were upregulated in HS, while miR-27b-3p was downregulated. Knockdown of TUG1 significantly suppressed the proliferation and migration and induced the apoptosis of HS fibroblasts (HSF). In addition, silencing of TUG1 notably inhibited the extracellular matrix (ECM) biosynthesis in HSF. Overexpression of miR-27b-3p has the same effect on HS as that of TUG1 knockdown. Meanwhile, TUG1 could sponge miR-27b-3p, and TAK1 was the direct target of miR-27b-3p. Furthermore, knockdown of TUG1 significantly suppressed the fibrosis in HS via miR-27b-3p/TAK1/YAP/TAZ axis mediation. LncRNA TUG1 promotes the fibrosis in HS via sponging miR-27b-3p and then activates TAK1/YAP/TAZ pathway, which may serve as a potential target for treatment of HS.

Background: The purpose of this study was to probe the specific role of long noncoding RNA taurine upregulation 1 (LncRNA TUG1) in viral myocarditis (VMC).
Methods: The mouse model of VMC was induced by Coxsackievirus type B3 (CVB3). LncRNA TUG1 was subsequently silenced, and micro-140-3p (miR-140-3p) was overexpressed in VMC mice.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a fatal malignancy with rising incidence and low cure rates. This study aims to investigate the effect of alkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5)-mediated N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification on adriamycin (ADR) resistance in AML. First, the levels of ALKBH5, taurine upregulated 1 (TUG1), YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein F2 (YTHDF2), euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 2 (EHMT2), and SH3 domain-binding glutamate-rich protein-like (SH3BGRL) were measured.

Article Synopsis
- The presence of latently infected CD4 T cells remains a challenge to curing HIV-1, even with effective antiretroviral therapy.
- Research shows that the mA modification of RNA plays a crucial role in regulating HIV-1 infection, affecting viral stability and immune response.
- In a study using a model of HIV-1 latency, an increase in mA levels was observed during reactivation, highlighting its potential importance in overcoming HIV-1 latency.
Suppression of the lncRNA TUG1 alleviates neuropathic pain in rats with chronic contractile injury via the miR-29b-3p/HMGB1 axis.

Article Synopsis
- This research studied a molecule called TUG1 in rats that had pain caused by an injury.
- The scientists found that TUG1 levels were higher, and it works by binding to another molecule (miR-29b-3p) to increase HMGB1, which is linked to pain.
- Reducing TUG1 helped decrease pain and inflammation in the injured rats, showing that it might be important for understanding and treating pain.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the combination of N-Methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) contributes to the malignant transformation of human esophageal epithelial cells (HEECs) through DNA damage and reduced PAXX protein levels.
- Researchers constructed a specific HEEC strain with reduced LncRNA TUG1, a long noncoding RNA linked to cancer progression, to evaluate its effect on this transformation.
- Findings suggest that knocking down LncRNA TUG1 may reduce the harmful impact of H. pylori and MNNG on HEECs, highlighting the importance of understanding both epigenetic and environmental factors in esophageal cancer
