Background: Aging and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are research hotspots in melanoma. However, no study has so far explored the relationship between melanoma prognosis and aging-related lncRNAs (ARLs).
Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas database, the GTEx database, and the HAGR database were used in this study in a combined manner. Univariate and multivariate cox regression analyses were used to screen out lncRNA signatures associated with overall survival (OS) in the primary dataset. The risk scoring model was analyzed by risk stratification and tested internally. The protein expression levels of possible target genes of ARLs were verified by immunohistochemistry analysis in HPA database. Finally, gene enrichment analysis was performed.
Results: In the primary dataset, five OS-related lncRNA signatures (AC011481.1, USP30-AS1, EBLN3P, LINC01527, HLA-DQB1-AS1) were screened out. The survival curve showed that the high-risk group had a worse prognosis than the low-risk group. The immunohistochemical analysis revealed that reduced expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), along with increased expression of Activating Transcription Factor 2 (ATF2) and DNA Polymerase Delta 1 (POLD1), was linked to a worse prognosis. Finally, enrichment analysis revealed that OS-related DELs were significantly enriched in the regulation of reactive oxygen metabolism, etc. The ARGs were significantly activated in the SKCM tissues. The regulation of aging in melanoma cells may be realized through ferroptosis, immunity, and autophagy and so on.
Conclusion: The ARL signature obtained in this study had better prognostic ability than individual clinical features.

Introduction: Pediatric sepsis is a complex and life-threatening condition characterized by organ failure due to an uncontrolled immune response to infection. Recent studies suggest that ferroptosis, a newly identified form of programmed cell death, may play a role in sepsis progression. However, the specific mechanisms of ferroptosis in pediatric sepsis remain unclear.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a severe malignant tumor with a significant threat to women's health, characterized by a high mortality rate and poor prognosis despite conventional treatments such as cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. Cuproptosis, a novel form of cell death triggered by copper ion accumulation, has shown potential in cancer therapy, particularly through the involvement of CuLncs. This study aims to identify risk signatures associated with CuLncs in OC, construct a prognostic model, and explore potential therapeutic drugs and the impact of CuLncs on OC cell behavior.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most prevalent cancer worldwide. Recent studies suggest the promising potential of microRNAs (miRNA) in predicting the status of circulating tumor cells (CTC), and their combined analyses could pave the way for significant advancements in assessing the risk of metastatic cancer. Here, we investigate the circulating miRNA signatures associated with CTC status in metastatic CRC (mCRC).

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common and aggressive type of pancreatic cancer, with a five-year survival rate below 8%. Its high mortality is largely due to late diagnosis, metastatic potential, and resistance to therapy. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a key role in metastasis, enabling cancer cells to become mobile.

Behavioral variant of Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD) and Bipolar Disorder (BD) share overlapping symptoms, complicating diagnosis. BvFTD, especially linked to C9orf72 expansions, often mimics BD, highlighting the need for reliable biomarkers. This study aimed to differentiate bvFTD from BD using miRNA profiles in neural-enriched extracellular vesicles (NEVs).
