Background And Aim: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) TNK2 AS1 is a noncoding RNA with the capability of affecting microRNAs (miRNAs) levels and gene expression. The study was designed to investigate the mechanism of TNK2 AS1 in gastric cancer.
Methods: The loss and gain of function of TNK2 AS1 were investigated by analyzing the malignant behavior of AGS cells including the abilities of migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process via wound healing and transwell assay, as well as western blot. The targeting relationship of LncRNA TNK2 AS1 was analyzed through searching bioinformatics database, luciferase reporter assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. Tumor-bearing experiment in nude mice was performed to further confirm the regulatory role of TNK2 AS1 in vivo. Immunofluorescence assay for Ki67 expression was carried out in tumor tissues of mice model.
Results: The results showed that TNK2 AS1 overexpression promoted the malignant behaviors of AGS cells, which could be weakened by miR-125a-5p mimic addition. In addition, Jumonji, At-rich interaction domain (JARID2), and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway were regulated by TNK2-AS1/miR-125a-5p axis. In vivo, TNK2 AS1/miR-125a-5p axis promoted tumor growth and led to increases in green fluorescence intensity and vimentin expression and a decrease in E-cadherin level, which could be mediated by JARID2 and PI3K/AKT pathway.
Conclusion: Therefore, a conclusion was drawn that TNK2-AS1/miR-125a-5p promoted the progression of gastric cancer.

Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is an age-related disease characterized by the coexistence of excessive adiposity and low muscle mass or function. Although obesity and sarcopenia are heritable conditions, the genetic determinants of SO have not been fully understood. We conducted a large-scale exome-wide association analysis of SO in a sequenced sample of 2 887 cases and 113 284 controls and an imputed sample of 4 003 cases and 161 990 controls in the UK Biobank cohort.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the second most common hematological malignancy after lymphoma in the world. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been suggested as key regulators of cancer development and progression in AML. As a member of lncRNA family, the biological role and mechanisms of tyrosine kinase non receptor 2 antisense RNA 1 (TNK2-AS1) in AML is still unclear.
