AI Article Synopsis

  • Metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC) worsens patient outcomes, and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in this process, though mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • The study identifies lncRNA SNHG1, found at higher levels in metastatic CRC tissues, as a key factor that promotes tumor cell migration and invasion.
  • SNHG1 enhances the stability of SERPINA3 mRNA through its interaction with HNRNPD protein, suggesting that targeting this lncRNA/HNRNPD/SERPINA3 pathway could be a potential treatment strategy to reduce CRC metastasis.

Article Abstract

Metastasis continues to negatively impact individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC). Research has revealed the important role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in CRC metastasis, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we revealed that the lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) is expressed at higher levels in metastatic CRC tissues than in primary CRC tissues, and that high lncRNA SNHG1 expression indicates poor patient outcomes. We found that lncRNA SNHG1 promotes the migration and invasion of tumor cells both in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, lncRNA SNHG1 increases serpin family A member 3 (SERPINA3) mRNA stability by interacting with the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein D (HNRNPD) protein, and subsequently upregulates SERPINA3 expression. Moreover, HNRNPD and SERPINA3 reversed the effects of lncRNA SNHG1 knockdown on CRC cell metastasis. In conclusion, we report that the lncRNA SNHG1 recruits HNRNPD, in turn upregulating SERPINA3 expression and ultimately facilitating CRC cell migration and invasion. Targeting the lncRNA SNHG1/HNRNPD/SERPINA3 signaling pathway might be a therapeutic option for preventing CRC metastasis.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons (DA) which can be caused by environmental and genetic factors. lncRNAs have emerged as an important regulatory layer in neurodegenerative disorders, including PD. In this study, we investigated and validated lncRNAs that may serve as diagnostic or therapeutic targets for PD.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in many cellular processes while displaying high tissue specificity. In contrast, protein-coding genes, including the category of housekeeping ones, exhibit broad expression patterns. The aim of this study was to highlight the functional importance of widely expressed lncRNAs.

Ovarian cancer (OC) develops asymptomatically and escapes diagnosis until advanced stages, the feature contributing to a higher mortality rate. New prospects of OC diagnosis and treatment have been opened in studies of the gene regulation mechanisms that involve long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and identification of the lncRNA genes that are inhibited via methylation of the promoter region. A set of 122 samples of primary OC tumors was examined by methylation specific real-time PCR to assess the methylation level of the lncRNA genes PLUT, SNHG1, SNHG6, SNHG12, and TINCR.
