Abstract Background Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in women. Accumulating studies have been reported that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG5 is highly expressed in BC. However, the specific molecular mechanism of SNHG5 in BC is unclear. Methods Gene and protein expressions in BC cell were detected by qRT-PCR and western blotting. The proliferation and cell cycle were measured using colony formation assay and flow cytometry analysis, separately. The glucose consumption and lactate production were determined by using the glucose assay kit and lactate assay kit. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to measure the interaction between miR-299 and SNHG5 or BACH1. Results SNHG5 and BACH1 expressions were increased in BC cell while miR-299 level was decreased. SNHG5 increased BACH1 expression by directly targeting miR-299. SNHG5 silencing or miR-299 overexpression suppressed the proliferation of BC cell, arrested the cell cycle in the G1 cell phase, and decreased the glucose consumption and lactate production of BC cell. However, inhibition of miR-299 or overexpression of BACH1 could reverse the inhibitory effects of sh-SNHG5 on cell proliferation and glycolysis in BC. Conclusion SNHG5 promoted the BC cell growth and glycolysis through up-regulating BACH1 expression via targeting miR-299. These findings may improve the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to BC.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) PCAT6 is a member of the Prostate Cancer Associated Transcripts family of molecules. In this review, we focus on the latest studies involving PCAT6 in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of malignant tumors of the digestive, respiratory, urinary, reproductive, motion, and nervous systems. PCAT6 was found to be highly expressed in gastric cancer, colon cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, lung cancer, bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, osteosarcoma, glioblastoma, and other tumors. PCAT6 can promote the development and progression of different types of malignant tumors through various mechanisms. Overall, these findings suggest that PCAT6 may play an increasingly vital role in the clinical assessment of these malignant tumors. It can function as an oncogene and may be used as a potential new prognostic biomarker of these tumors.

Abstract Background: Abnormal expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) was usually involved in tumorigenesis and radiosensitivity of various cancers. The aim of this study was to explore the biological function and regulatory mechanism of lncRNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) in tumorigenesis and radiosensitivity of neuroblastoma (NB).Methods: The expression levels of XIST, microRNA-653-5p (miR-653-5p) and hexokinase 2 (HK2) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Methylthiazolyldiphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, colony formation assay and transwell assay were utilized to detect cell viability, colony formation and cell invasion abilities. Glucose consumption or lactate production was measured by glucose assay kit or lactate assay kit, respectively. The mice xenograft model was established to investigate the role of XIST in vivo. The interaction between miR-653-5p and XIST or HK2 was predicted by starBase v2.0 and verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Western blot was used to measure the protein expression of HK2.Results: XIST and HK2 were highly expressed whilst miR-653-5p was lowly expressed in NB tissues and cells. XIST knockdown inhibited tumorigenesis by repressing NB cell proliferation and invasion. Meanwhile, XIST downregulation increased the radiosensitivity via inhibiting colony formation rates and glycolysis. Moreover, miR-653-5p could bind to XIST and its downregulation reversed the effects of XIST knockdown on tumorigenesis and radiosensitivity. Additionally, HK2 was a direct target of miR-653-5p and its overexpression attenuated the effects of miR-653-5p restoration on suppression of tumorigenesis and promotion of radiosensitivity. Besides, XIST functioned as a molecular sponge of miR-653-5p to regulate HK2 expression. Furthermore, XIST knockdown also suppressed tumor growth by upregulating miR-653-5p and downregulating HK2 in vivo.Conclusion: XIST interference inhibited tumorigenesis and increased radiosensitivity in NB by regulating miR-653-5p/HK2 axis, providing a novel therapeutic strategy for NB.

Abstract Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most general malignant tumors. Accumulating evidence implied that long non-coding RNA Metastasis Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1 (MALAT1) participated in the tumorigenesis of CRC. However, the effect of MALAT1 in drug-resistance needed to be further illustrated. Methods Levels of MALAT1, microRNA (miR)-324-3p, and a disintegrin and metalloprotease metallopeptidase domain 17 (ADAM17) were detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or western blot assay. Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK-8) was used to assess the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of oxaliplatin (Ox). Meanwhile, cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8, transwell assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. The interaction between miR-324-3p and MALAT1 or ADAM17 was clarified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Also, the effect of MALAT1 on tumor growth was detected in xenograft tumor mice treated with Ox. Results Significant up regulation of MALAT1 and ADAM17, and decrease of miR-324-3p were observed in Ox-resistant CRC tissues and cells. MALAT1 deficiency enhanced the sensitivity of Ox-resistant CRC cells response to Ox, while miR-324-3p repression or ADAM17 acceleration could overturn this effect. Moreover, MALAT1 silencing repressed tumor growth in Ox-treated nude mice. Mechanically, MALAT1 exerted promotion effect on the resistance response to Ox via miR-324-3p/ADAM17 axis in Ox-resistant CRC cells. Conclusion MALAT1 modulated the sensitivity of Ox through ADAM17 in Ox-resistant CRC cells by sponging miR-324-3p, thus MALAT1 might serve as a novel insight for the therapy of CRC.

Abstract Background Long non-coding RNA cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense RNA 1 (CDKN2B-AS1) has been reported to be related to diabetic nephropathy (DN) progression. However, the regulatory mechanisms of CDKN2B-AS1 in DN are unclear. Methods High glucose (HG) was used to induce human mesangial cells (HMCs) for establishing the DN model. Expression levels of CDKN2B-AS1, microRNA (miR)-15b-5p, wingless-Type family member 2B (WNT2B) mRNA in serum and HMCs were detected through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The viability and cell cycle progression of HMCs were determined with Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) or flow cytometry assays. The levels of several proteins and inflammatory factors in HMCs were analyzed by western blotting or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The relationship between CDKN2B-AS1 or WNT2B and miR-15b-5p was verified with dual-luciferase reporter assay. Results CDKN2B-AS1 and WNT2B were upregulated while miR-15b-5p was downregulated in serum of DN patients and HG-treated HMCs. CDKN2B-AS1 inhibition reduced HG-induced viability, cell cycle progression, ECM accumulation, and inflammation response in HMCs. CDKN2B-AS1 regulated WNT2B expression via competitively binding to miR-15b-5p. MiR-15b-5p inhibitor reversed CDKN2B-AS1 knockdown-mediated influence on viability, cell cycle progression, ECM accumulation, and inflammation response of HG-treated HMCs. The repressive effect of miR-15b-5p mimic on viability, cell cycle progression, ECM accumulation, and inflammation response of HG-treated HMCs was abolished by WNT2B overexpression. Conclusion CDKN2B-AS1 regulated HG-induced HMC viability, cell cycle progression, ECM accumulation, and inflammation response via regulating the miR-15b-5p/WNT2B axis, provided a new mechanism for understanding the development of DN.

Abstract Background: This study aimed to investigate the regulatory role of Long non-coding RNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) on the biological processes of high glucose (HG)-induced mouse mesangial cells (MMCs). Methods: PVT1 expression in diabetic nephropathy (DN) mice and HG-induced MMCs was detected by qRT-PCR. PVT1 was silenced in HG-induced MMCs by the transfection of PVT1 siRNA (si-PVT1). EdU and Colony formation, Annexin V-PI staining, Muse cell cycle, Scratch, and Transwell assay were performed to detect the cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle, migration, and invasion, respectively. The contents of fibrosis factors in cell-culture supernatants were detected by ELISA. Western blot was performed to detect the expression of factors involved in apoptosis, cell cycle, migration and invasion, fibrosis, and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. In addition, the targeting relation between miR-93-5p and PVT1 was predicted by StarBase3.0 and identified by Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Results: PVT1 was overexpressed in DN kidney tissues and HG-induced MMCs. HG-induced MMCs exhibited significantly increased EdU positive cells, cell colonies, S and G2/M phase cells, migration and invasion ability, and contents of fibrosis factors, as well as significantly decreased apoptosis rate compared with NG-induced MMCs. HG significantly up-regulated Bcl-2, CyclinD1, CDK4, N-cadherin, vimentin, Col. IV, FN, TGF-β1 and PAI-1, and down-regulated Bax, cleaved caspase-3, cleaved PARP, and E-cadherin in MMCs. Silencing of PVT1 eliminated the effects of HG in MMCs and blocked PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. MiR-93-5p was a target of PVT1, which eliminated the effects of PVT1 on HG-induced MMCs. Conclusions: PVT1 silencing inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion and fibrosis, promoted the apoptosis, and blocked PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in HG-induced MMCs via up-regulating miR-93-5p.

Abstract Background: Long non-coding RNA MAGI2 antisense RNA 3 (MAGI2-AS3) has been identified as a tumor suppressor in various cancers. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a prevalent kind of leukemia among children. In this study, we aimed at evaluate the role of MAGI2-AS3 in ALL and its underlying mechanisms.Methods: qPCR was adopted to determine MAGI2-AS3, miR-452-5p, and FOXN3 expression. The malignant properties of ALL cells were assessed by CCK8 assay and flow cytometry analysis. The glucose uptake, lactate production, and ATP level were measured to evaluate glycolysis. Western blotting was performed to detect PCNA, Bcl-2, Bax, and HK2 protein levels. The interaction between MAGI2-AS3/FOXN3 and miR-452-5p was validated by luciferase reporter assay. The in vivo growth of ALL cells was determined in xenograft model.Results: MAGI2-AS3 was strikingly down-regulated in ALL samples and cells. Overexpression of MAGI2-AS3 restrained growth, glycolysis and triggered apoptosis of ALL cells. Mechanistically, MAGI2-AS3 could sponge miR-452-5p to up-regulate FOXN3. Silencing of FOXN3 abolished the anti-tumor effect of MAGI2-AS3. Finally, MAGI2-AS3 suppressed the in vivo growth of ALL cells via modulating miR-452-5p/FOXN3 axis. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that MAGI2-AS3 delays the progression of ALL by regulating miR-452-5p/FOXN3 signaling pathway.

Abstract Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor of the digestive tract. Hypoxia plays an important role in the development of cancer, including GC. The present study aimed to investigate the role of circular RNA SLAMF6 (circSLAMF6) in the progression of GC under hypoxia. Methods: The expression of circSLAMF6, microRNA-204-5p (miR-204-5p) and myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9) was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). GC cells were maintained under hypoxia (1% O2) for experiments in vitro. Glucose consumption and lactate production were determined by a Glucose Assay Kit and a Lactate Assay Kit, respectively. Levels of all protein were detected by Western blot. Cell migration and invasion were examined by Transwell assay. The interaction between miR-204-5p and circSLAMF6 or MYH9 was analyzed by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Murine xenograft model was established to explore the role of circSLAMF6 in vivo. Results: CircSLAMF6 expression was increased in GC cells under hypoxia. Hypoxia promoted glycolysis, migration, and invasion in GC cells, which were reversed by circSLAMF6 knockdown. CircSLAMF6 was validated as a miR-204-5p sponge, and MYH9 was a target of miR-204-5p. Functionally, miR-204-5p inhibitor weakened the inhibition of circSLAMF6 knockdown on GC cell progression under hypoxia. Besides, MYH9 depletion suppressed glycolysis, migration, and invasion in GC cells under hypoxia. Importantly, circSLAMF6 deficiency inhibited tumor growth in vivo by regulating the miR-204-5p/MYH9 axis. Conclusion: CircSLAMF6 was involved in glycolysis, migration, and invasion by regulating the miR-204-5p/MYH9 axis in GC cells under hypoxia.

Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy of the digestive system. A novel long non-coding RNA, ENSG00000236199 (lncRNA-199) , whose role in tumors has not been reported, especially in HCC. Methods: The expression of lncRNA-199 and miR-576-5p were detected by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), NRIP1 was measured by Western blotting. HCC cell proliferation and metastasis of HCC were examined using functional tests. Luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the relationship between lncRNA-199 and miR-576-5p, between miR-576-5p and NRIP1. Results: LncRNA-199 was frequently down-regulated in HCC and this down-regulation was negatively correlated with prognosis. Overexpression of lncRNA-199 could inhibit the growth and metastasis of HCC, while knockdown lncRNA-199 had the opposite effect. Down-regulated lncRNA-199 also could induce epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT). Luciferase reporter assay demonstrated lncRNA-199 could modulate NRIP1 by sponge miR-576-5p. Conclusion: LncRNA-199 inhibited growth and metastasis through miR-576-5p/NRIP1 axis in HCC. This study revealed a novel unknown lncRNA function in malignant tumors, especially in HCC. At the same time, the regulatory mechanism of lncRNA-199 in HCC was clarified.
