Background: Previous studies have suggested that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) TP73-AS1 is significantly upregulated in several cancers. However, the biological role and clinical significance of TP73-AS1 in pancreatic cancer (PC) remain unclear.

Aim: To investigate the role of TP73-AS1 in the growth and metastasis of PC.

Methods: The expression of lncRNA TP73-AS1, miR-128-3p, and in PC tissues and cells was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The bioinformatics prediction software ENCORI was used to predict the putative binding sites of miR-128-3p. The regulatory roles of TP73-AS1 and miR-128-3p in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities were verified by Cell Counting Kit-8, wound-healing, and transwell assays, as well as flow cytometry and Western blot analysis. The interactions among TP73-AS1, miR-128-3p, and GOLM1 were explored by bioinformatics prediction, luciferase assay, and Western blot.

Results: The expression of TP73-AS1 and miRNA-128-3p was dysregulated in PC tissues and cells. High TP73-AS1 expression was correlated with a poor prognosis. TP73-AS1 silencing inhibited PC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion as well as suppressed tumor growth . Mechanistically, TP73-AS1 was validated to promote PC progression through GOLM1 upregulation by competitively binding to miR-128-3p.

Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that TP73-AS1 promotes PC progression by regulating the miR-128-3p/GOLM1 axis, which might provide a potential treatment strategy for patients with PC.

Background: Hypoxic conditions in glioma are linked to tumor aggressiveness, poor prognosis, and treatment resistance. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in the hypoxic and immune microenvironment of cancers, but their link to hypoxia-induced immunosuppression in high-grade glioma (HGG) is not well-studied.

Methods: Gene expression profiles from TCGA and CGGA, along with clinical and genomic data, were analyzed.

Background: Medulloblastoma is one of the common primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancies in pediatric patients. The main treatment is surgical resection preceded and/or followed by chemoradiotherapy. However, their serious side effects necessitate a better understanding of medulloblastoma biology to develop novel therapeutic options.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules of 200 nucleotides or more in length that are not translated into proteins. Their expression is tissue-specific, with the vast majority involved in the regulation of cellular processes and functions. Many human diseases, including cancer, have been shown to be associated with deregulated lncRNAs, rendering them potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers for differential diagnosis.
