Background: Increasing evidence proves that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a key role in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer. However, the function and molecular mechanism of LINC01836 in CRC are still unknown.

Methods: The differentially expressed lncRNAs in colorectal cancer were obtained from the RNA sequencing data. The effects of LINC01836 on colorectal cancer cells were tested in experiments. The mechanism of LINC01836 action was investigated through western blot, RNA immunoprecipitation assay and luciferase reporter assay. Moreover, the xenograft mouse model was conducted to examine the effects of LINC01836 .

Results: In this study, we showed that LINC01836 was significantly elevated in colorectal cancer tissues and cells. Elevated LINC01836 expression significantly correlated with larger tumor size, positive lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, advanced tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, and poor prognosis. Furthermore, decreased expression of LINC01836 repressed proliferation, migration, and invasion and , and high LINC01836 expression displayed the opposite effect. Further analysis revealed that LINC01836 could regulate the expression of SLC17A9 by competing with miR---1226-3p. Furthermore, down-regulation of LINC01836 or increased expression of miR-1226-3p markedly reversed the effects of SLC17A9 overexpression on colorectal cancer cells.

Conclusion: This study showed that LINC01836 regulated the expression of SLC17A9 through sponge miR-1226-3p by acting as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA), promoted the progression of colorectal cancer, and suggested a new prognostic biomarker and potential cancer treatment target for colorectal cancer.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the United Kingdom and the second largest cause of cancer death.

Aim: To develop and validate a model using available information at the time of faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) in primary care to improve selection of symptomatic patients for CRC investigations.

Methods: We included all adults (≥ 18 years) referred to Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust between 2018 and 2022 with symptoms of suspected CRC who had a FIT.

Inflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of various diseases by promoting the acquisition of new functional traits by different cell types. Shared risk factors between cardiovascular disease and cancer, including smoking, obesity, diabetes, high-fat diet, low physical activity, and alcohol consumption, contribute to inflammation linked to platelet activation. Platelets contribute to an inflammatory state by activating various normal cells, such as fibroblasts, immune cells, and vascular cells.
