Background: High-altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE) is a form of noncardiogenic pulmonary oedema. Studies have found that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plays an important role in HAPE. ANRIL is significant in pulmonary illnesses, which implies that alterations in ANRIL expression levels may be involved in the beginning and development of HAPE. However, the specific mechanism is indistinct. The present study is meant to explore the effect and mechanism of ANRIL on hypoxic-induced injury of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMEVCs).
Methods: In the hypoxic model of PMVECs, overexpression of ANRIL or knockdown of miR-181c-5p was performed to assess cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration. Furthermore, the levels of apoptosis-related proteins, inflammatory factors, and vascular active factors were also measured.
Results: The results showed that, after 24 h of hypoxia, PMVECs proliferation and migration were suppressed in comparison to the control group, along with an increase in apoptosis, a decrease in the expression of ANRIL, and an increase in the expression of miR-181c-5p (all p < .05). The damage caused by hypoxia in PMVECs can be lessened by overexpressing ANRIL, which also inhibits the production of TNF-α, iNOS, and VEGF as well as BAX and cleaved caspase-3 (all p < .05). Further experimental results showed that overexpression of ANRIL and knockdown of miR-181c-5p had the same protection against hypoxic injury in PMVECs (all p < .05).
Conclusions: Our study suggests that ANRIL may prevent hypoxia injury to PMVECs in HAPE through the negative regulation of miR-181c-5p.

Background: The insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) and H19 are overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). IGF2-derived miR-483-5p is implicated in the development of cancers. Here, we investigated the involvement of miR-483-5p in IGF2 and H19 overexpression regulation and its role in HCC.

Clinical treatment options for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are currently limited to chemotherapy because of a lack of effective therapeutic targets. Recent evidence suggests that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) encode bioactive peptides or proteins, thereby playing noncanonical yet significant roles in regulating cellular processes. However, the potential of lncRNA-translated products in cancer progression remains largely unknown.

Primary aldosteronism (PA), characterized by autonomous aldosterone overproduction, is a major cause of secondary hypertension with significant cardiovascular complications. Current treatments mainly focus on symptom management rather than addressing underlying mechanisms. This study aims to discover novel therapeutic targets for PA using integrated bioinformatics and experimental validation approaches.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) during adolescence significantly jeopardizes both mental and physical health. However, the etiology underlying MDD in adolescents remains unclear.
Methods: A total of 74 adolescents with MDD and 40 health controls (HCs) who underwent comprehensive clinical and cognitive assessments were enrolled.

Small nucleolar RNA host gene 10 (SNHG10) is a newly recognized long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) with significant implications in cancer biology. Abnormal expression of SNHG10 has been observed in various solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Research conducted in vivo and in vitro has revealed that SNHG10 plays a pivotal role in numerous biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration, drug resistance, energy metabolism, immune evasion, as well as tumor growth and metastasis.
