Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plays an important role in multiple cancers. So far, the exact function of lncRNAs in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is unclear. The purposes of this work were to investigate the function and underlying mechanisms of RNF185 antisense RNA 1 (RNF185-AS1) in PTC. The expression of RNF185-AS1 was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Colony formation, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, and Cell Counting Kit-8 assays were utilized to determine cell proliferation. Cell migration and invasion were tested using wound healing and transwell assays. A mouse transplantation tumor model was used for tumor growth analyses in vivo. The regulation of RNF185-AS1 on the downstream miR-429/lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP4) axis was predicted and identified through bioinformatic analysis, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. RNF185-AS1 was dramatically overexpressed in PTC tumors and cells. High RNF185-AS1 expression was associated with bigger tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and advanced tumor-node-metastasis stage in PTC patients. Silencing of RNF185-AS1 impeded the proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro and constrained tumorigenesis in vivo. Mechanistically, RNF185-AS1 could act as a sponge of miR-429 to regulate the expression of LRP4. In addition, downregulation of miR-429 or upregulation of LRP4 could relieve the proliferation, migration, and invasion of IHH-4 and TPC-1 cells that inhibited by RNF185-AS1 knockdown. Downregulation of RNF185-AS1 may suppress PTC progression through functioning as a sponge of miR-429 to hinder the expression of LRP4. The RNF185-AS1/miR-429/LRP4 axis will lay the groundwork for future therapeutic strategies in PTC.

Objective: Rosmarinic acid (RosA) is a natural polyphenol compound that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of inflammatory disease and a variety of malignant tumors. However, its specific mechanism for the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the mechanism of RosA in the treatment of LUAD by integrating bioinformatics, network pharmacology and in vivo experiments, and to explore the potential of the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine in treating LUAD.

Bioactive Products Targeting C-Met As Potential Antitumour Drugs.

Anticancer Agents Med Chem

January 2025

Experiment Center for Science and Technology, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai, 201203, China.

Unlabelled: Mesenchymal‒epithelial transition factor (c-Met), a receptortyrosine kinase (RTK), plays a vital role in cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and tumour metastasis.

Objective: With increasing duration of treatment, many tumours gradually develop drug resistance. Therefore, novel antitumour drugs need to be developed to treat patients with tumours.

Bioinformatics Analysis Reveals Microrchidia Family Genes as the Prognostic and Therapeutic Markers for Colorectal Cancer.

Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets

January 2025

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Taizhou First People's Hospital, Huangyan Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Taizhou, Zhejiang, China.

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the role of the microrchidia (MORC) family, a group of chromatin remodeling proteins, as the therapeutic and prognostic markers for colorectal cancer (CRC).

Background: MORC protein family genes are a highly conserved nucleoprotein superfamily whose members share a common domain but have distinct biological functions. Previous studies have analyzed the roles of MORCs as epigenetic regulators and chromatin remodulators; however, the involvement of MORCs in the development and pathogenesis of CRC was less examined.

Gastric Cancer Models Developed via GelMA 3D Bioprinting Accurately Mimic Cancer Hallmarks, Tumor Microenvironment Features, and Drug Responses.

January 2025

Department of Surgical Oncology and General Surgery Key Laboratory of Precision Diagnosis and Treatment of Gastrointestinal Tumors, Ministry of Education The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, 110001, China.

Current in vitro models for gastric cancer research, such as 2D cell cultures and organoid systems, often fail to replicate the complex extracellular matrix (ECM) found in vivo. For the first time, this study utilizes a gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel, a biomimetic ECM-like material, in 3D bioprinting to construct a physiologically relevant gastric cancer model. GelMA's tunable mechanical properties allow for the precise manipulation of cellular behavior within physiological ranges.
