long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), as tumor suppressors or oncogenes, have been identified to play key roles in tumorigenesis. The present study explored the roles and potential mechanisms of LINC00960 in osteosarcoma (OS). In vitro study showed that silencing LINC00960 inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion of 143B and MG63. In vivo study demonstrated that knockdown of LINC00960 repressed tumor growth. Further investigation revealed that LINC00960 could regulate SALL4 by sponging miR-107 to promote the progression of OS. Together, LINC00960 is a tumor oncogene in the development and prognosis of OS, which may be a new therapeutic target for OS.

A systems medicine understanding of the regulatory molecular circuits that underpin breast cancer is essential for early cancer detection and precision/personalized medicine in clinical oncology. Transcription factors (TFs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) control gene expression and cell biology, and by extension, serve as pillars of the regulatory circuits that determine human health and disease. We report here the development of a regulatory circuit analysis program, , constructing 10 different types of regulatory elements involving messenger RNA, miRNA, lncRNA, and TFs.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) affects about one-third of patients with diabetes and can lead to end-stage renal disease despite numerous trials aimed at improving diabetic management. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) represent a new frontier in DN research, as increasing evidence suggests their involvement in the occurrence and progression of DN. A growing body of evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in DN signaling pathways might serve as novel biomarkers or therapeutic targets, although this remains to be fully explored.

Meis1 is a transcription factor involved in numerous functions including development and proliferation and has been previously shown to harness cell cycle progression. In this study, we used in silico analysis to predict that miR-499-5p targets Meis1 and that Malat1 sponges miR-499-5p. For the first time, we demonstrated that the overexpression of miR-499-5p led to the downregulation of Meis1 mRNA and protein in C166 cells by directly binding to its 3'UTR.
