Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the most malignant tumors that has an extremely poor prognosis. RNA-binding protein (RBP) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) have been shown to be key regulators during tumorigenesis as well as lung tumor progression. However, the role of RBP ELAVL4 and lncRNA LYPLAL1-DT in SCLC remains unclear. In this study, we verified that lncRNA LYPLAL1-DT acts as an SCLC oncogenic lncRNA and was confirmed in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, LYPLAL1-DT negatively regulates the expression of miR-204-5p, leading to the upregulation of PFN2, thus, promoting SCLC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. ELAVL4 has been shown to enhance the stability of LYPLAL1-DT and PFN2 mRNA. Our study reveals a regulatory pathway, where ELAVL4 stabilizes PFN2 and LYPLAL1-DT with the latter further increasing PFN2 expression by blocking the action of miR-204-5p. Upregulated PFN2 ultimately promotes tumorigenesis and invasion in SCLC. These findings provide novel prognostic indicators as well as promising new therapeutic targets for SCLC.

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) stands as one of the most lethal malignancies, characterized by a grim diagnosis and prognosis. The emergence of multi-drug resistance poses a significant hurdle to effective therapy. Although previous studies have implicated the long noncoding RNA LYPLAL1-DT in the tumorigenesis of SCLC, the precise role of the highly expressed LYPLAL1-DT in SCLC chemoresistance and the underlying mechanism remain inadequately understood.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered as the most hazardous subtype of breast cancer owing to its accelerated progression, enormous metastatic potential, and refractoriness to standard treatments. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are extremely intricate in tumorigenesis and cancerous metastasis. Nonetheless, their roles in the initiation and augmentation of TNBC remain elusive.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of m6A-associated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their interaction with tumour microenvironment in thyroid cancer (THCA).

Methods: The clinical and gene expression data of tumours from 502 patients with THCA and 58 adjacent normal tissues were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-THCA dataset. The Pearson test was utilized to identify potential m6A-associated lncRNAs ( < 0.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in diabetes related diseases. However, the role of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes with macrovascular complication (DMC) has seldomly been recognized. This study screened lncRNA profiles of leukocytes from DMC patients and explored protective role of lncRNA LYPLAL1-DT in endothelial cells (EC) under high glucose (HG) and inflammatory conditions (IS).
