Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) cancer susceptibility candidate 7 (CASC7) was reported to be participated in tumor development. This study was carried out to investigate the functions of CASC7 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. The expression of CASC7 and microRNA-30a-5p (miR-30a-5p) in HCC tissues and cells were detected by quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The expression of Krueppel-like factor 10 (KLF10), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and SMAD3 were detected by Western Blot analysis. Transwell assay, flow cytometry, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and colony formation assay were performed to evaluate the effects of CASC7, KLF10 and miR-30a-5p on cell function. The relationship among CASC7, KLF10 and miR-30a-5p was evaluated by luciferase reporter assay and bioinformatics analyses. Tumor growth was detected in nude mice. The expression levels of CASC7 were increased and the expression levels of miR-30a-5p were reduced in HCC cells and tissues. Knockdown of CASC7 and overexpression of miR-30a-5p reduced tumor growth as well as HCC cell proliferation, invasion and migration. In HCC tumor tissues, the expression of miR-30a-5p was negatively correlated with the expression of CASC7. Moreover, as a target of miR-30a-5p, KLF10 was regulated by CASC7 and miR-30a-5p, and CASC7 regulated the KLF10/TGF-β/SMAD3 pathway via binding to miR-30a-5p, thereby promoting HCC cell progression.

It has been reported that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in sepsis-induced liver injury, while the role of cancer susceptibility candidate 7 (CASC7) in liver injury induced by sepsis remains elusive. In our study, 62 patients and 55 healthy controls were enrolled from our hospital, from whom CASC7 and microRNA-217 (miR-217) in serum samples were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Then the sepsis-induced liver injury mice model was established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

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.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between long non-coding RNA cancer susceptibility candidate (CASC) expression levels and prognosis in lung cancer, finding that abnormal CASC levels correlate with patient outcomes.* -
- A meta-analysis of 12 studies involving 746 lung cancer patients revealed that low expression of CASC2 and CASC7 is associated with better prognosis, while high expression of CASC9, 11, 15, and 19 is linked to worse outcomes and reduced disease-free survival.* -
- While high CASC expression correlated with poorer prognosis, the association with advanced cancer stages was found to be statistically insignificant.*

Background: At present, a large number of studies have found that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can be used as biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The expression of lncRNA cancer susceptibility candidate 7 (CASC7) in HCC has rarely been studied. The purpose of this study was to explore the expression of CASC7 and its correlation with clinical features, and to further analyze its diagnostic value in HCC.

Gliomas are brain tumors associated with high morbidity, relapse and lethality despite improvement in therapeutic regimes. The hypoxic tumor microenvironment is a key feature associated with such poor outcomes in gliomas. The Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) family of transcription factors are master regulators of cellular proliferation, high metabolic rates and angiogenesis via aberrant expression of downstream genes.
