Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common human malignancies due to its invasiveness and metastasis. Recent studies revealed the pivotal roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in tumorigenesis and progressions of various tumors. However, the biological roles and molecular mechanisms of long intergenic noncoding RNA 00174 (LINC00174) in human CRC remain unclear. Here, we report that LINC00174 expression was higher in human CRC tissues and cell lines than in adjacent normal tissues and a colon epithelial cell line (FHC). High expression of LINC00174 was positively correlated with poor overall and disease-free survival in patients with CRC. Loss- and gain-of-function of LINC00174 demonstrated its critical roles in promoting cell proliferation, apoptosis resistance, migration, and invasion of CRC cells in vitro. Moreover, overexpression of LINC00174 enhanced tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistic experiments revealed that LINC00174 could bind to microRNA (miR)-2467-3p and augment the expression and function of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 21 (USP21). Rescue assays found that miR-2467-3p inhibition can offset the actions of LINC00174 or USP21 knockdown in CRC cells. Additionally, transcriptional factor c-JUN transcriptionally activated LINC00174 expression and mediated LINC00174-induced malignant phenotypes of CRC cell lines. Totally, our findings shed light on a new therapeutic strategy in modulating LINC00174/miR-2467-3p, which may interfere with the expression of USP21, and revealed that LINC00174 could be a new therapeutic target or prognostic marker in CRC.

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a process that eliminates infected, damaged, or possibly neoplastic cells to sustain homeostatic multicellular organisms. Although long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in various types of PCD and regulate tumor growth, invasion, and migration, the role of PCD-related lncRNAs in bladder cancer still lacks systematic exploration. In this research, we integrated multiple types of PCD as pan-PCD and identified eight pan-PCD-related lncRNAs (LINC00174, HCP5, HCG27, UCA1, SNHG15, GHRLOS, CYB561D2, and AGAP11).

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most malignant tumor with the worst prognosis in female reproductive system. Mitophagy and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in tumorigenesis, development, and drug resistance. The effects of mitophagy-related lncRNAs on OC prognosis and therapeutic response remain unelucidated.

Objective: To explore the biological function of LINC00174 in multiple myeloma (MM).
Methods: Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expressions of LINC00174 and miR-150 in peripheral blood of MM patients and MM cell lines. EdU staining and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of LINC00174 and miR-150 on the proliferation and apoptosis of MM cells.

Objective: To elucidate the mechanism by which LINC00174 promotes colon cancer progression by targeting the microRNA-2467-3p (miR-2467-3p)/enolase 3 (ENO3) axis to regulate inflammation and glycolysis.
Methods: The expression of LINC00174 and ENO3 in colon cancer tissues, its relationship with survival rate, and correlation were analyzed using bioinformatic analysis. The effects of LINC00174 overexpression and silencing on the biological behavior of and inflammation in colon cancer cells were analyzed via transfection experiments.
