Objective: Cellular pyroptosis is a pro-inflammatory mode of programmed cell death that has been identified in recent years, and studies have shown that the LncRNA SOX2OT regulates myocardial injury during sepsis, but the exact regulatory mechanism is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the role of SOX2OT in regulating cardiomyocyte injury during sepsis cardiomyopathy.
Methods: Rat cardiomyocytes, C57BL/6 mice, and transgenic mice were divided into four groups: control, LPS, LPS+ knockout LncRNA SOX2OT, and LPS+ overexpression LncRNA SOX2OT. Inflammatory factor levels were detected by qPCR. Associated proteins and gene expression were detected by Western blotting and qPCR. Dual luciferase was used to detect the target genes of SOX2OT. Nrf2 and EZH2 knockdown and overexpression cell lines were established, and the expression of related genes was detected by qPCR.
Results: Results In this study, we found that SOX2OT knockdown exacerbated LPS-induced levels of inflammatory factors and procalcitoninogen (PCT), and increased the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins and LDH. The results of dual luciferase reporter gene assay showed that EZH2 is the target gene of SOX2OT, and overexpression of SOX2OT decreased the expression of EZH2; we also found that knockdown of EZH2 in H9c2 cells decreased the expression of Nrf2, which was positively correlated with the expression level of NLRP3. Further in vivo results showed that overexpression of SOX2OT attenuated SIMD (sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction), as evidenced by improved myocardial structural integrity and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration. The expression of pyroptosis-related proteins and LDH was significantly increased in the mice in the LPS group; this effect was reversed by overexpression of SOX2OT, and potentiated by knockdown of SOX2OT.
Conclusion: Our data reveal a novel mechanism by which SOX2OT inhibits cardiomyocyte sepsis through the EZH2/Nrf-2/NLRP3 pathway, thereby attenuating septic myocardial injury, which may contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Despite strides in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for ESCC, patient survival rates remain relatively low. Recent studies highlight the pivotal role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in regulating diverse cellular activities in humans. Dysregulated lncRNAs have emerged as potential diagnostic indicators across various cancers, including ESCC.

A unique approach is introduced for constructing gold nanocrystals (AuNCs) with RNA motif-directed morphologies in a sequence-independent manner and its applications in the clinical area are described. By using this method, a label-free LSPR-based detection method for the SOX2OT transcript, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which is a prognostic indicator of poor survival in lung cancer patients is presented. For the first time, we examined how the structural changes of RNA after the heteroduplex formation with a specific DNA probe can change the morphology and LSPR band of AuNCs.

Article Synopsis
- Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common cancer globally, but its genetic causes are not well understood, prompting research using dog breeds known to develop this cancer.
- A study identified 15 genetic loci that predict the risk of GC in Belgian Tervuren and Sheepdog breeds, highlighting specific genetic variants that may contribute to the disease.
- Interestingly, the related Belgian Malinois breed shows lower GC incidence, suggesting protective genetic traits which were also investigated, revealing differences in regulatory variants among the breeds.

The application of nanobiotechnology in biomolecule detection can provide fast and accurate tests for diagnosing molecular changing-associated diseases. The use of AuNPs-thiolated probe conjugates has long been considered as an alternative method for the detection of specific DNA/RNA targets. Here, we present a colorimetric direct detection method for the SOX2OT transcript, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), by using a poly guanine tail (G12) as a template for in situ synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) without any chemical modification or DNA labeling.
