AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of long non-coding RNA lncSNHG16 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), finding that higher levels are linked to poorer patient survival.
- Overexpression of lncSNHG16 in HCC cells increased their growth, movement, and invasiveness, while reducing cell death.
- The findings suggest that lncSNHG16 suppresses autophagy and apoptosis in HCC, indicating it could be a potential target for new treatments.
Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the expression of long non-coding RNA lncSNHG16 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), associations between its expression and patient survival, and its potential role in regulating autophagy in the disease.
Methods: Expression of lncSNHG16 was measured using quantitative real-time PCR in HCC cells in culture and HCC tissues from patients. Effects of lncSNHG16 overexpression were examined in HCC cultures using assays of cell proliferation, wound healing, and migration or invasion in Transwell dishes. Effects of lncSNHG16 overexpression were also examined in subcutaneous tumor in mice. Relationships of lncSNHG16 expression to autophagy and apoptosis in HCC cultures were explored using western blotting and flow cytometry.
Results: Higher lncSNHG16 expression in HCC tissues was associated with significantly worse overall and recurrence-free survival of patients. Overexpressing lncSNHG16 in HCC cell culture promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while suppressing apoptosis. lncSNHG16 was associated with upregulation of STAT3 as well as inhibition of autophagy and associated apoptosis. Overexpressing lncSNHG16 accelerated tumor growth and weight in mice.
Conclusion: The non-coding RNA lncSNHG16 suppresses autophagy and associated apoptosis in HCC, making it a potential therapeutic target.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell-derived exosomal LncRNA SNHG16 is highly expressed and associated with poor overall survival of patients. Telocytes (TCs), as novel interstitial cells, have been reported to promote HCC metastasis. Therefore, in our study, we investigated whether a molecular interaction occurred between exosomal LncSNHG16 and TCs in the tumor microenvironment.

Background: Long noncoding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (lnc-SNHG16) regulates sepsis-induced acute lung injury and inflammation, which is involved in the pathophysiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The present study intended to explore the role of lnc-SNHG16 as a potential biomarker indicating ARDS risk, disease severity, inflammation, and mortality in sepsis.
Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples were collected from 160 sepsis patients within 24 hours after admission and 30 healthy controls (HCs).
