Objective: To investigate the expression levels of LINC00342 in gastric cancer (GC) tissues and cells and the pathways mediating its effects on biological behaviors of GC cells.
Methods: Bioinformatic analysis was performed to identify the lncRNAs and their downstream miRNAs involved in regulation of biological behaviors of GC cells. qRT-PCR was used to analyze the differential expression of LINC00342 and miR-596 in GC cell lines, human gastric mucosal cells, and GC and adjacent tissues. In human GC MGC-803 and MGC-823 cells, the effects of LINC00342 overexpression, miR-596 overexpression, LINC00342 knockdown, or miR-596 knockdown on cell proliferation, migration, invasion and cell cycle changes were examined using Edu assay, CCK-8 assay, wound healing assay, Transwell assay, and flow cytometry. The regulatory interaction between LINC00342 and miR-596 was investigated using a dual-luciferase reporter assay.
Results: Informatic analysis identified LINC00342 as the candidate lncRNA regulating biological behaviors of GC cells, with miR-596 as its downstream miRNA. LINC00342 expression levels were significantly higher while miR-596 expression levels were lower in GC tissues and cell lines than in the paired adjacent tissues and human gastric mucosal cell lines (all <0.05). In MGC-803 and MGC-823 cells, overexpression of LINC00342 significantly enhanced cell proliferation (<0.05), migration (<0.01), and invasion (<0.001) and reduced the percentage of G0/G1 phase cells (<0.01), while knocking down LINC00342 significantly suppressed cell proliferation (<0.05), migration (<0.01), and invasion (<0.001) and increased G0/G1 phase cell percentage (<0.01). Modulation of miR-596 expression levels produced the opposite effects. Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed the specific binding between LINC00342 and miR-596 (=0.0067).
Conclusion: In GC cells, LINC00342 regulates cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by targeting miR-596.

Purpose: Mesothelin (MSLN) is highly expressed in high grade serous/ endometrioid ovarian cancers (HGOC). Anetumab ravtansine (AR) is an antibody drug conjugate directed at MSLN antigen with a tubulin polymerization inhibitor. We assessed safety, activity and pharmacokinetics of the combination AR/bevacizumab (Bev) (ARB) versus weekly paclitaxel (wP)/Bev (PB) in patients with platinum resistant/refractory HGOC (prrHGOC).

Purpose: Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a highly aggressive malignancy defined by the loss of the SMARCB1 tumor suppressor. It mainly affects young individuals of African descent with sickle cell trait, and it is resistant to conventional therapies used for other renal cell carcinomas. This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers for early detection and disease monitoring of RMC.

Background: Our previous research demonstrated that growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) exhibited superior predictive capability for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) development with an AUC of 0.86 at 10 years before disease diagnosis. However, the specific pathways and molecular mechanisms associated with GDF15 expression during MASH development remain to be fully investigated in humans.

Melatonin (MEL), functioning as a circulating hormone, is important for the regulation of ferroptosis in different health scenarios and acts as a crucial antioxidant in cardiovascular diseases. However, its specific function in ferroptosis related to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) remains to be fully elucidated. In our research, we utilized a rat model of MIRI induced by coronary artery ligation, along with a cell model subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of miR-499a-5p in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and its value in early diagnosis of ASD. This is a retrospective case-control study that included 40 children with ASD as a case group and 43 healthy children as a control group. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed on all subjects, and the children were scored with childhood autism rating scale (CARS) and autism behavior checklist (ABC).
