Objective: To investigate the influences of long non-coding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA) H19 on proliferation and apoptosis of nephroblastoma cells.
Materials And Methods: A total of 5 pairs of nephroblastoma tissues and paraneoplastic tissues were obtained. Gene expression levels of lncRNA H19, microRNA (miR)-675, and transforming growth factor beta induced (TGFBI) were detected via quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Their regulatory effects on the viability of nephroblastoma cells were examined by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Finally, the apoptosis level in each group was detected through TUNEL assay, and the protein expressions of TGFBI and Caspase-8 were examined using Western blotting (WB) assay.
Results: The gene expression levels of lncRNA H19 and miR-675 were markedly downregulated in nephroblastoma tissues (p<0.05), while that of TGFBI was notably upregulated (p<0.05). LncRNA H19 could reduce the proliferative ability of HFWT cells (p<0.05) and stimulates apoptosis rate (p<0.05). It upregulated the expressions of miR-675 and Caspase-8 (p<0.05), and downregulated TGFBI (p<0.05). Besides, miR-675 was able to upregulate Caspase-8 (p<0.05) and downregulate TGFBI (p<0.05). In addition, the protein expression of Caspase-8 was downregulated (p<0.05), while that of TGFBI was upregulated (p<0.05) after the knockdown of miR-675 in HFWT cells.
Conclusions: LncRNA H19 may inhibit TGFBI expression by regulating miR-675 level, so as to weaken the proliferation and enhance the apoptosis of nephroblastoma cells.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) involves abnormal fat accumulation in the liver, mainly as triglycerides. It ranges from steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can lead to inflammation, cellular damage, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial for regulating gene expression across various conditions.

Globally, the incidence and death rates associated with cancer persist in rising, despite considerable advancements in cancer therapy. Although some malignancies are manageable by a mix of chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and targeted therapy, most malignant tumors either exhibit poor responsiveness to early identification or endure post-treatment survival. The prognosis for prostate cancer (PCa) is unfavorable since it is a perilous and lethal malignancy.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the role of miR-483-5p in regulating the overexpression of IGF2 and H19, which are linked to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
- miR-483-5p enhances IGF2 and H19 expression by binding to their enhancer, activating transcription, and promoting new interactions between the enhancer and gene promoters through chromatin loops.
- The research highlights that MED1 is crucial in this process, influencing both chromatin structure and the aggressive behavior of HCC cells, indicating potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

Platinum resistance is a common cause of chemotherapy failure in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs), which function by competitively binding to miRNAs, can influence drug response. However, the regulatory mechanisms of ceRNAs underlying chemoresistance in LUAD remain largely unknown.
