Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate tumor development and metastasis in several types of cancers through various molecular mechanisms. However, the biological role of most lncRNAs in pancreatic cancer (PC) remains unclear. Here, we explored the expression, biological functions, and molecular mechanism of LINC01128 in PC.
Methods: Quantitive reverse transcription PCR was used to detect the expression level of LINC01128 in PC tissues and different PC cell lines. A loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiment was used to explore the biological effects of LINC01128 on PC carcinogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Western blot analysis, subcellular fractionation experiment, luciferase reporter gene assay, and MS2-RNA immunoprecipitation experiment were used to study the potential molecular mechanism of LINC01128 during carcinogenesis.
Results: The expression of LINC01128 was upregulated in PC tissues and cell lines, and overexpression of LINC01128 was significantly related to the poor prognosis of patients with PC. Furthermore, silencing LINC01128 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of PC cells in vitro and tumor growth in vivo, while LINC01128 overexpression promoted these processes. Further research showed that LINC01128 acted as a sponge for microRNA miR-561-5p, and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) was the downstream target gene of miR-561-5p. It was also revealed that the expression of miR-561-5p in PC was decreased, and a negative correlation between miR-561-5p and LINC01128 was revealed. Based on rescue experiments, LDHA overexpression partially restored the inhibitory effect of LINC01128 knockdown on proliferation, migration, and invasion of PC cells.
Conclusions: LINC01128 promotes the proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT of PC by regulating the miR-561-5p/LDHA axis, suggesting LINC01128 may be a new prognostic marker and therapeutic target in PC.

In recent years, the importance of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has attracted wide attention. Among them, lncRNAs that play a role in promoting cancer mainly include and some genes of family, while in tumor suppression mainly include , etc. This article reviews the role of lncRNAs in the occurrence and development of AML, as well as those related to AML resistance and prognosis assessment, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and prognosis analysis of AML.

Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) refers to high-mortality tumors arising in the colon or rectum with a high rate of recurrence. The involvement of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) contributes to the treatment and prognosis evaluation of CRC, and brings a new direction for the radical cure of patients. To identify the pathological mechanism and regulation of lncRNA LINC01128 (LINC01128) on CRC cells, and analyze its potential prognostic value.

Background: The apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contributes to the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1128 (LINC01128) has been implicated in AS, and this study aims to uncover the role and mechanism of LINC01128 in regulating oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-induced VSMCs.
Methods: The position of LINC01128 in cells and its target genes were predicted using bioinformatics.

Background: Alterations of the trimethylation of histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) mark in monocytes are implicated in the development of autoimmune diseases. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to elucidate the role of H3K4me3-mediated epigenetics in the pathogenesis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).
Methods: H3K4me3 Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin were performed to determine the epigenetic profiles.
