Objective: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease. This study was designed to investigate the roles of lncRNA NEAT1/miR-27a-3p axis in AD.
Methods: Amyloid protein was used to treat SH-SY5Y cells and rats to construct AD model. RT-qPCR was used to quantify lncRNA NEAT1 and micro-27a-3p in AD model cells. Western blot was used to determine the β-amyloid-precursor-protein-cleaver-enzyme 1 (BACE1), amyloid, Tau protein and its phosphorylation, Caspase 3 protein and its lytic cell protein and amyloid precursor protein (APP). Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis. The cell activity was detected by CCK-8. The lncRNA NEAT1 and miR-27a-3p inhibition or over-expression vectors were constructed. The dual luciferase reporter gene and RNA pull-down assay were used to detect the targeting relationship between lncRNA NEAT1 and micro-27a-3p. The cognitive function of rats was tested by water maze.
Results: After being induced by amyloid protein, lncRNA NEAT1 was up-regulated while micro-27a-3p was down-regulated in SH-SY5Y cells. Apoptosis rate was increased and cell activity was decreased. Amyloid protein, BACE1 protein, APP protein, Tau protein and its phosphorylation, Caspase 3 protein and its lytic cell protein were up-regulated. Down-regulation of lncRNA NEAT1 or up-regulation of micro-27a-3p could reduce cell apoptosis, increase cell activity, down-regulate amyloid protein, BACE1 protein, APP protein, Tau protein and its phosphorylation, and up-regulate caspase 3 protein and its lysate protein. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA pull-down experiments revealed that micro-27a-3p was the target gene of lncRNA NEAT1. Down-regulation of micro-27a-3p could offset the changes caused by LncRNA NEAT1. AD caused cognitive dysfunction in rats, which was improved by down-regulation of lncRNA NEAT1.
Conclusion: lncRNA NEAT1 regulates the development of AD by down-regulating micro-27a-3p.

Background: Recent studies have highlighted the potential role of several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the pathogenesis of Behçet's disease (BD). This study investigated the expression profiles of lncRNA NEAT1 and lncRNA HOTAIR, and their target cytokine genes, IL-6 and TNF-α, in active and inactive BD patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from 25 BD patients and 25 age-sex-matched healthy controls (HCs).

Objectives: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease with unclear pathogenesis. Some recent studies have shown that there is a close relationship between PD and ferroptosis. We aimed to identify the ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) and construct competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks to further assess the pathogenesis of PD.

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 virus's frequent mutations have made disease control with vaccines and antiviral drugs difficult; as a result, there is a need for more effective coronavirus drugs. Therefore, detecting the expression of various diagnostic biomarkers, including ncRNA in SARS-CoV2, implies new therapeutic strategies for the disease.
Aim: Our study aimed to measure NEAT-1, miR-374b-5p, and IL6 in the serum of COVID-19 patients, demonstrating the correlation between target genes to explore the possible relationship between them.

Lipid metabolism reprogramming is critical for the initiation and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, how the dysregulation of lipid metabolism contributes to HCC development remains largely unknown. Here, we report that the mA reader YTHDC1-mediated epigenetic regulation of the long noncoding RNA NEAT1 activates stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD)-associated lipid metabolic processes during HCC progression.
