AbstractIt is formerly conducted that long non-coding RNA growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) is involved in the process of coronary atherosclerosis (AS). The regulatory effects of GAS5 on the microRNA (miR)-194-3p/thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) axis in AS have been insufficiently explored yet. Thereafter, this work is started from GAS5/miR-194-3p/TXNIP axis in AS. AS rats were modeled to obtain their coronary vascular tissues and endothelial cells (ECs), in which GAS5, miR-194-3p, and TXNIP expression were tested. ECs were identified by immunohistochemistry. The mechanism among GAS5, miR-194-3p, and TXNIP was determined. ECs were transfected with inhibited GAS5 or overexpressed miR-194-3p to decipher their functions in proliferation and apoptosis of ECs in AS. Raised GAS5 and TXNIP and degraded miR-194-3p expression levels exhibited in AS. GAS5 bound to miR-194-3p while miR-194-3p targeted TXNIP. Depleting GAS5 or restoring miR-194-3p enhanced proliferation and depressed apoptosis of ECs in AS. This work clearly manifests that inhibited GAS5 facilitates the growth of ECs through miR-194-3p-targeted TXNIP in AS, consolidating the basal reference to the curing for AS.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a type I hypersensitive disease. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG16 acts as an oncogene in a variety of tumors and promotes the occurrence of inflammation in many inflammatory diseases. The study aims to investigate the expression of SNHG16 and its potential biological functions in AR. RT-qPCR results showed that the expression of SNHG16 in AR was up-regulated. The AR cell model was constructed by stimulating primary nasal mucosal epithelial cells from AR patients with IL-13. After knocking down the expression of lncRNA SNHG16, cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, and the expression of inflammatory factors was detected by ELISA. The results showed that SNHG16 promoted cell apoptosis and inflammation. Then, bioinformatics analysis was used to screen miRNAs bound with SNHG16. Luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA pull-down experiment were used to verify the relationship. We found that the expression of miR-106b-5p was down-regulated and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) expression was up-regulated in the AR cell model. The expression of phospho-Janus kinase 1 and p-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) were detected by Western blotting. Silencing the expression of LIF could inhibit the activity of JAK1/STAT3 pathway and further inhibit cell apoptosis and the occurrence of inflammation. Then transfected SNHG16 shRNA alone or together with miR-106b-5p antagomir into the AR cell model, we found that silencing the expression of SNHG16 down-regulated the expression of LIF and inhibited the activity of the JAK1/STAT3 pathway, cell apoptosis, and inflammation. However, miR-106b-5p antagomir weakened its inhibitory effects. The role of SNHG16 in AR was further verified by the ovalbumin-induced AR mouse model in vivo. In conclusion, SNHG16 up-regulates LIF expression by binding with miR-106b-5p, thus promoting the activity of JAK1/STAT3 pathway, and promoting the development of AR. These results provide new targets for the treatment of AR and may help reduce the damage caused by AR.
