Background: miR-124-3p can inhibit integrin β3 (ITGB3) expression to suppress the migration and invasion of gastric cancer (GC), and in the process lncRNA HOXA11-AS may act as a molecular sponge.
Methods: Luciferase reporter assay was conducted to verify the binding of miR-124-3p and HOXA11-AS. RT-PCR and western blot were performed to detect the expression of HOXA11-AS, miR-124-3p and ITGB3 in GC tissues and cells. Gene silence and overexpression experiments as well as cell migration and invasion assays on GC cell lines were performed to determine the regulation of molecular pathways, HOXA11-AS/miR-124-3p/ITGB3. Furthermore, the role of HOXA11-AS in GC was confirmed in mice models.
Results: We found HOXA11-AS is up-regulated in GC tissues and can bind with miR-124-3p. Through overexpression/knockdown experiments and function tests in vitro, we demonstrated HOXA11-AS can promote ITGB3 expression by sponging miR-124-3p, consequently enhance the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells. Meanwhile, we validated that HOXA11-AS promotes migration and invasion of GC cells via down-regulating miR-124-3p and up-regulating ITGB3 in vivo.
Conclusions: We demonstrated that lncRNA HOXA11-AS can increase ITGB3 expression to promote the migration and invasion of gastric cancer by sponging miR-124-3p. Our results suggested that HOXA11-AS may reasonably serve as a promising diagnostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target of GC.

Background: Metastasis is the primary cause of mortality in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), with the liver being a predominant site for distal metastasis. Despite this clinical significance, mechanisms underlying the interaction between SCLC and liver microenvironment, fostering metastasis, remain unclear.
Methods: SCLC patient tissue array, bioinformatics analysis were performed to demonstrate the role of periostin (POSTN) in SCLC progression, metastasis, and prognosis.

Background: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is a common malignancy with a very low survival rate. More and more studies have shown that SPTAN1 may be involved in the development and progression of a variety of tumors, including rectal cancer, Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, etc., and may affect their prognosis.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a prevalent invasive bone cancer, with numerous homeobox family genes implicated in tumor progression. This study aimed to develop a prognostic model using HOX family genes to assess osteosarcoma patient outcomes. Data from osteosarcoma patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) cohorts were collected.

The laminae of varying lithologies are characteristic of shale oil reservoirs, with their pronounced heterogeneity and fluid-solid coupling significantly impacting oil productivity. To this end, this study initially quantified the permeability and mechanical heterogeneity in lamina-developed shale through permeability tests and quasi triaxial mechanical experiments on shale cores from different orientations in the Jiyang Depression. These tests revealed marked brittleness in horizontally oriented cores and elasticity in vertically oriented cores.

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation modification have recently been suggested as potential functional modulators in ovarian endometriosis, however, the function and mechanism of m6A-modified lncRNA in ovarian endometriosis remain poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrated that lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 expression was significantly elevated in ovarian endometriosis tissue and primary ectopic endometrial stromal cells. The expression of lncRNA UBOX5-AS1, which has m6A modifications, was highly positively correlated with demethylase Alk B homologous protein 5 (ALKBH5) expression and autophagy.
