Background: Chronic infection with is one of the main causes of gastric cancer (GC). Besides, lncRNAs play crucial roles in cancer pathobiology including GC. Here we aimed to investigate the expression of MEG3 and HOTAIR in gastric cancer tissues and evaluate their association with the status.
Materials And Methods: One hundred samples were obtained. Total RNA was extracted, cDNA was synthesized and expression of MEG3 and HOTAIR was assessed using qRT-PCR. Association of their expression with status and other clinicopathological characteristics were investigated. Furthermore, sensitivity and specificity of the MEG3 and HOTAIR expression levels for discrimination of the tumor and non-tumor samples were evaluated by Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
Results: We observed upregulation of HOTAIR but downregulation of MEG3 in tumor compared to the non-tumor tissues. We also found a significant negative association between their expression levels and positive status. However, only the expression level of HOTAIR was significantly associated with the size and stage of the tumor ( < 0.05). The ROC curve analysis revealed that the expression levels of MEG3 and HOTAIR might discriminate GC tumor and non-tumor tissues.
Conclusions: In conclusion, this study revealed a negative association between H. pylori infection and expression of MEG3 and HOTAIR. The results suggested that the expression level of these lncRNAs might be considered as potential biomarkers for GC.

Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA), with transcripts over 200 nucleotides in length, play critical roles in numerous biological functions and have emerged as significant players in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), an inflammatory condition traditionally viewed as a degenerative joint disease. This review comprehensively examines the influence of LncRNA on the inflammatory processes driving OA progression, focusing on their role in regulating gene expression, cellular activities, and inflammatory pathways. Notably, LncRNAs such as MALAT1, H19, and HOTAIR are upregulated in OA and exacerbate the inflammatory milieu by modulating key signaling pathways like NF-κB, TGF-β/SMAD, and Wnt/β-catenin.

Recent scientific investigations have revealed the intricate mechanisms underlying bone formation, emphasizing the essential role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as critical regulators. This process, essential for skeletal strength and functionality, involves the transformation of mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts and subsequent deposition of bone matrix. lncRNAs, including HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR), metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), differentiation antagonizing non-coding RNA (DANCR), and maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3), have emerged as prominent players in this regulatory network.

Article Synopsis
- Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly aggressive cancer with a low survival rate, influenced significantly by long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and natural products that affect cancer behaviors such as proliferation and metastasis.
- Natural compounds like curcumin and baicalein have shown potential in fighting GBC by targeting crucial signaling pathways.
- Specific lncRNAs can serve as biomarkers for diagnosing and predicting GBC, and targeting these lncRNAs holds promise for improving treatment outcomes and reducing resistance to therapies.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules of 200 nucleotides or more in length that are not translated into proteins. Their expression is tissue-specific, with the vast majority involved in the regulation of cellular processes and functions. Many human diseases, including cancer, have been shown to be associated with deregulated lncRNAs, rendering them potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers for differential diagnosis.

Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is a common malignancy and is usually diagnosed in the late stages of the disease. The identification of new effective early diagnostic biomarkers could represent an effective approach in reducing mortality in GBC. Altered expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is believed to be associated with the emergence and development of GBC.
