Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. We aimed to investigate, for the first time, the expression profile of serum level of LncRNA THRIL and MiR-125b in IBD patients and their relations with patient's clinical and biochemical investigations.
Methods: Our study included 210 subjects divided into 70 healthy subjects considered as control group (male and female), 70 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), and 70 patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Blood samples were obtained from all subjects. Expression of LncRNA THRIL and MiR-125b in serum was detected by Quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR).
Results: Our results showed a significant increase in the fold change of LncRNA THRIL in UC patients (Median = 11.11, IQR; 10.21-12.45, P<0.001) and CD patients (Median = 5.87, IQR; 4.57-7.88, P<0.001) compared to controls. Meanwhile there was a significant decrease in the fold change of MiR-125b in UC patients (Median = 0.36, IQR; 0.19-0.61, P<0.001) and CD patients (Median = 0.69, IQR; 0.3-0.83, P<0.001) compared to controls. Furthermore, there was a negative significant correlation between LncRNA THRIL and MiR-125b in UC patients (r = -0.28, P = 0.016) and in CD patients (r = -0.772, P<0.001). ROC curve analysis was done showing the diagnostic value of these markers as predictors in differentiating between cases of UC, CD, and control.
Conclusion: Serum LncRNA THRIL and MiR-125b could be used as potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Sequential changes in expression of long non-coding RNAs THRIL and MALAT1 after ischemic stroke.
Curr J Neurol

Inflammation is the major contributor to the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke (IS). Long non-coding ribonucleic acids (lncRNAs) metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) and tumor necrosis factor and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L-related immunoregulatory (THRIL) have been demonstrated to be up-regulated in inflammation and atherosclerosis. Therefore, we aimed to study the expression profile of these lncRNAs after IS.

Article Synopsis
- Mesenchymal stem cells from human Wharton jelly are being studied for their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive functions, which can be influenced by inflammatory conditions.
- The study involved isolating these stem cells and exposing them to polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid to see how it affected the expression of specific long noncoding RNAs.
- Results showed a significant increase in the expression of the NKILA RNA in stimulated cells, suggesting TLR3 ligands may enhance the immunosuppressive properties of these stem cells through the regulation of long noncoding RNAs.
Dysregulation of long non-coding RNAs in Takayasu arteritis: A proof-of-concept study.
Clin Rheumatol

Directorate, Instituto Nacional de Rehabilitación Luis Guillermo Ibarra Ibarra, Mexico City, Mexico.
Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare systemic vasculitis primarily affecting the aorta and its major branches. Early diagnosis is critical to prevent severe vascular complications, yet current biomarkers are insufficient. This proof-of-concept study explores the potential of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in TAK, an area largely unexplored.

Background: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). This study aims to investigate the involvement of lncRNA THRIL and HOTAIR gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their expression levels in PTB susceptibility.
Methods: A total of 456 PTB patients and 464 healthy controls participated in our study.

Article Synopsis
- Lung cancer is the most common cancer globally and a major cause of cancer-related deaths, with long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) playing crucial roles in its development and progression.
- Previous research has identified various lncRNAs involved in lung cancer, but many remain unexplored.
- The study focused on THRIL, NEAT1, and LOC105376095, finding that NEAT1 and LOC105376095 showed significant expression changes in lung tumors, with LOC105376095 linked to disease severity, suggesting it could serve as a potential biomarker for diagnosis and treatment.
