Objective: We studied the role of LNCRNA 1197 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its underlying mechanism.
Methods: We detected expression of LNCRNA 1197 in RA fibroblast-like synovial cells (RA-FLS) by RT-qPCR. Functional experiments were conducted to assess the impact of LNCRNA on cells as demonstrated by a Transwell assay. In addition, Western blot analysis was conducted to analyze the expression of proliferation-related proteins and flow cytometry and CCK-8 to analyze cell cycle and cell proliferation. We also identified the potential downstream target miRNA of LNCRNA 1197.
Results: LNCRNA 1197 was highly expressed in RA-FLS. When LNCRNA 1197 was knocked down, the cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of RA-FLS were alleviated, and pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly downregulated. Interestingly, LNCRNA 1197 was indicated to target miR-206 and promoted progression of FLS by inhibiting miR-206.
Conclusion: Taken altogether, LNCRNA 1197 promotes the progression of RA-FLSs by miR-206 inhibition.

Unlabelled: Because survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer remain poor, there is an urgent need to identify potential novel druggable targets that are associated with colorectal cancer progression. One such target, basic leucine zipper and W2 domains 2 (BZW2), is involved in regulation of protein translation, and its overexpression is associated with human malignancy. Thus, we investigated the expression and regulation of BZW2, assessed its role in activation of WNT/β-catenin signaling, identified its downstream molecules, and demonstrated its involvement in metastasis of colorectal cancer.

Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) is a peripheral artery disorder that increases with age and often leads to an elevated risk of cardiovascular events. The purposes of this study were to explore the underlying competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA)-related mechanism of PAOD and identify the corresponding immune cell infiltration patterns. An available gene expression profile (GSE57691 datasets) was downloaded from the GEO database.
