Background: Linc00312 is dysregulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and participates in the initiation and progression of NPC. Our previous studies suggested that linc00312 was able to enhance the sensitivity of NPC cells to irradiation and NPC patients with higher expression of linc00312 was associated with better short-term curative effect and overall survival. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of lncRNAs may influence the disease course and outcome by affecting the expression, secondary structure or function of lncRNAs. However, the role of SNPs in linc00312 on the occurrence and survival of NPC remains unknown.
Methods: We recruited 684 NPC patients and 823 healthy controls to evaluate the association between linc00312 SNPs and NPC susceptibility by using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression were applied to assess the effect of linc00312 SNPs on the survival of NPC patients. The relative expression of linc00312 in NPC tissues was determined by real-time PCR. The interaction between linc00312 and mir-411-3p was explored by luciferase reporter assay. prediction of the changes on linc00312 folding structure was conducted by RNAfold WebServer.
Result: We demonstrated that rs12497104 (G > A) GA genotype carriers had a higher risk than others for suffering from NPC (GA GG, OR = 1.437, = 0.003). Besides, patients with rs12497104 AA genotype showed a poorer overall survival in contrast to GG genotype (AA GG, HR = 2.117, = 0.011). In addition, the heterozygous carriers of rs15734 (G > A) and rs164966 (A > G) were correlated with decreased risk of NPC (GA GG, OR = 0.778, = 0.031; GA AA, OR = 0.781, = 0.033, respectively). We found that the three SNPs might influence the expression of linc00312 in a genotype specific feature. The local centroid secondary structure as well as the minimum free energy of linc00312 were changed following the candidate SNPs alterations. Besides, we revealed that the G to A alteration at rs12497104 disrupted the binding between mir-411-3p and linc00312.
Conclusion: Our results indicated genetic polymorphisms of linc00312 might serve as potential biomarkers for NPC carcinogenesis and prognosis.

Background: LINC00312 has shown to play a suppressive role in the development and progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the expression pattern and diagnostic role of circulating LINC00312 in NSCLC remain to be confused.
Methods: A total of 319 patients diagnosed with NSCLC and 180 healthy volunteers were enrolled from the First Affiliated Hospital of Huzhou University between January, 2022 and December, 2023.
Purpose: To investigate whether long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the development or malignant behavior of ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), we attempted to identify lncRNAs specific to HGSC.
Methods: Total RNAs were isolated from HGSC, normal ovarian, and fallopian tube tissue samples and were subjected to a PCR array that can analyze 84 cancer-associated lncRNAs. The lncRNAs that were upregulated and downregulated in HGSC in comparison to multiple samples of normal ovary and fallopian tube were validated by real-time RT-PCR.

Article Synopsis
- The areca nut is linked to a higher risk of head and neck cancer in Southeast Asia, but the exact molecular mechanisms, especially involving long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), are not well understood.
- A study identified 84 cancer-related lncRNAs associated with areca nut-induced head and neck cancer, with 28 showing dysregulation in treated cells, and 10 were linked to tumor tissues from patients.
- Key oncogenic lncRNAs, like LUCAT1 and UCA1, were found to affect cancer mechanisms and could serve as potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in patients affected by areca nut-related cancers.

This study aims to clarify molecular mechanisms and tumor-associated functions of LINC00312 in lung cancer. GEO database was used to acquire lung cancer-related expression microarrays. Then, relevant databases were applied to predict the downstream miRNA for LINC00312 and the target mRNA for the potential miRNA, with their associations deeply confirmed through dual-luciferase and RIP assays.
