Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as prognostic biomarkers and functional regulators in human tumors. In our study, we aim to investigate the roles of lncRNA SND1-IT1 (SND1-IT1) in retinoblastoma (RB). We observed that SND1-IT1 was highly expressed in both RB specimens and cells, and associated with poorer prognosis of RB patients. Functional investigation revealed that downregulation of SND1-IT1 suppressed RB cell proliferation, migration and invasion and restrained RB tumorigenesis in vivo. MiR-132-3p was predicted to interact with SND1-IT1. RT-qPCR and dual-luciferase reporter assays verified the regulation of miR-132-3p by SND1-IT1 in RB cells. In addition, SND1-IT1 enhanced the expression of SMAD2 by sponging miR-132-3p. Rescue experiments revealed that knockdown of miR-132-3p reversed the inhibiting effects of miR-132-3p knockdown on RB cells. Overall, SND1-IT1 can promote the progression of RB cells through miR-132-3p/SMAD2 axis, suggesting that l SND1-IT1 might be a novel biomarker and potential target for RB.

Article Synopsis
- Cuproptosis is highlighted as a significant factor in lung cancer, with the study identifying 129 lncRNAs related to this process and establishing a prognostic model using four key lncRNAs.
- The model categorized lung cancer patients into high- and low-risk groups, revealing notable survival differences and confirming predictive accuracy through independent analyses and ROC curve evaluations.
- Functional enrichment and mutation load analysis demonstrated distinct biological pathways and immune functions between these groups, emphasizing the potential of lncRNAs as biomarkers for lung cancer prognosis and treatment responses.
lncRNA SND1-IT1 delivered via intracerebral hemorrhage-derived exosomes affect the growth of human microglia by regulating the miR-124-3p/MTF1 axis.

In this study, we investigated the effects of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) SND1-IT1 on human microglia (HMC3 cells) delivered by intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-derived exosomes (ICH-exos) as well as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. Exosomes obtained from ICH plasma were characterized by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and western blot. RNA sequencing was performed to study the lncRNA transcriptome from ICH-exos and the healthy control-derived exosomes (HC-exos) and differentially expressed lncRNAs (DE-lncRNAs) were identified.

Over the past decade; the discovery and characterization of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have revealed that they play a major role in the development of various diseases; including cancer. Intronic transcripts are one of the most fascinating lncRNAs that are located within intron regions of protein-coding genes, which have the advantage of encoding micropeptides. There have been several studies looking at intronic transcript expression profiles in cancer; but almost none in osteosarcoma.

Like a classical suppressor, miR-124 can inhibit the translation of multiple oncogenic proteins. Epigenetic mechanisms play a significant role in the regulation of miR-124 expression and involve hypermethylation of the genes and the effects of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) according to the model of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs).

Background: Gastric cancer (GC), as one of the most common malignancies across the globe, is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Though a large body of research has been conducted to develop the therapeutic methods of GC, the survival rate of advanced patients is still poor. We aimed to dig into the potential regulatory mechanism of GC progression.
