The mortality and morbidity rates of pancreatic cancer (PC) have been increasing over the past two decades. Recent evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are usually dysregulated in the tumorigenesis and progression of PC. In the present study, we showed that the expression of LINC00857 was upregulated in PC and associated with poor prognosis based on the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) database and validated in our PC tissues and cell lines. N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) was highly enriched within LINC00857 and enhanced its RNA stability. Knockdown of LINC00857 remarkably inhibited the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of PC cells. Then, by using bioinformation analysis and verified experiments, we identified that LINC00857 functioned as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) for sponging miR-150-5p, leading to the upregulation of its target E2F3 in PC cells. Taken above, our study revealed a potential ceRNA regulatory pathway in which LINC00857 modulates E2F3 expression by binding to miR-150-5p, ultimately promoting tumorigenesis in PC. LINC00857/miR-150-5p/E2F3 regulatory axis may be taken as an alternative therapeutic target for treating PC.

Abstract Background Dysregulation of long non-coding RNAs has been implied to connect with cancer progression. This research was to decipher the mechanism of long non-coding RNA SDCBP2-AS1 in ovarian cancer (OC) through regulation of microRNA (miR)-100-5p and ependymin-related protein 1 (EPDR1). Methods LncRNA SDCBP2-AS1 and EPDR1 levels in OC were assessed by Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis. lncRNA SDCBP2-AS1, miR-100-5p, and EPDR1 levels in OC tissues and cells were determined. SKOV3 and A2780 cells were transfected with lncRNA SDCBP2-AS1, miR-100-5p, and EPDR1-related plasmids or sequences, and then their functions in cell viability, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were evaluated. The interplay of lncRNA SDCBP2-AS1, miR-100-5p, and EPDR1 was clarified. Results LncRNA SDCBP2-AS1 and EPDR1 levels were suppressed whilst miR-100-5p level was elevated in OC. After upregulating lncRNA SDCBP2-AS1 or EPDR1, viability, migration, and invasion of OC cells were impaired, and apoptosis rate was increased. Downregulating EPDR1 or upregulating miR-100-5p partially mitigated upregulated lncRNA SDCBP2-AS1-induced impacts on the biological functions of OC cells. LncRNA SDCBP2-AS1 sponged miR-100-5p, and EPDR1 was targeted by miR-100-5p. Conclusion It is illustrated that lncRNA SDCBP2-AS1 regulates EPDR1 by sponge adsorption of miR-100-5p to inhibit the progression of OC.

This article in principle wants to examine the history of the emergence of the conflict of Islamic revival in Minangkabau starting from the Paderi Movement to the Youth in Minangkabau. Especially in the initial period, namely the Padri movement, there was a tragedy of violence (radicalism) that accompanied it. This study becomes important, because after all the reformation of Islam began to be realized by reforming human life in the world. Both in terms of thought with the effort to restore the correct understanding of religion as it should, from the side of the practice of religion, namely by reforming deviant practices and adapted to the instructions of the religious texts (al-Qur'an and sunnah), and also from the side of strengthening power religion. In this case the research will be directed to the efforts of renewal by the Padri to the Youth towards the Islamic community in Minangkabau. To discuss this problem used historical research methods. Through this method, it is tested and analyzed critically the records and relics of the past. In analyzing the data in this research basically used approach or interactive analysis model by Miles and Huberman. In this analysis model, the three components of the analysis are data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing or verification, the activity is carried out in an interactive form with the process of collecting data as a process that continues, repeats, and continues to form acycle.

Objetivo: Avaliar diferentes métodos paliativos quanto a sua resolução, complicações e sobrevida em pacientes com tumor periampular irressecável. Materiais e métodos: Estudo retrospectivo com análise dos prontuários de pacientes com tumor periampular irressecável e que foram submetidos a procedimento paliativo no Hospital Municipal Dr José de Carvalho Florence nos últimos cinco anos. Resultados: O principal tumor periampular foi o de cabeça de pâncreas, com incidência de 94%, acometendo pacientes com média de 66 anos, sem preferência por sexo. Os procedimentos mais realizados foram derivação biliar e colocação de endoprótese através de colangiopancreatografia endoscópica retrógrada, apresentando sobrevidas de 586 e 56 dias, respectivamente. Conclusão: A coledocojejunostomia foi o procedimento mais realizado e apresentou menor tempo de internação e maiores sobrevida e tempo de permanência anictérico. Pneumonia foi a complicação mais frequente.  Palavras chave: Câncer pancreático, Colangiocarcinoma, Cuidados paliativos.  Objective: To evaluate different palliative methods concerning its resolution, complications and survival in patients with unresectable periampular tumor. Materials and methods: Retrospective study analysing records of patients with unresectable periampullary tumor and who underwent palliative procedure in the Hospital Municipal Dr José de Carvalho Florence in the past five years. Results: The main periampullary tumor was the head of the pancreas, with an incidence of 94%, affecting patients with an average of 66 years old, regardless of gender. The most common procedures were bypass and biliary stent, with survival rates of 586 and 56 days, respectively. Conclusion: Coledocojejunostomy was the procedure which was the most often performed and showed a shorter hospital stay and longer survival time and time without jaundice. Pneumonia was the main complication.  Keywords: Pancreatic cancer, Cholangiocarcinoma, Palliative care

AbstractExosomes are single-membrane, secreted organelles with a diameter of 30–200 nm, containing diverse bioactive constituents, including DNAs, RNAs, proteins, and lipids, with prominent molecular heterogeneity. Extensive studies indicate that exosomal RNAs (e.g., microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs) can interact with many types of cancers, associated with several hallmark features like tumor growth, metastasis, and resistance to therapy. Pancreatic cancer (PaCa) is among the most lethal cancers worldwide, emerging as the seventh foremost cause of cancer-related death in both sexes. Hence, revealing the specific pathogenesis and improving the clinical diagnosis and treatment process are urgently required. As the study of exosomes has become an active area of research, the functional connections between exosomes and PaCa have been deeply investigated. Among these, exosomal RNAs seem to play a significant role in the development, diagnosis, and treatment of PaCa. Exosomal RNAs delivery ultimately modulates the various features of PaCa, and many scholars have interpreted how exosomal RNAs contribute to the proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, invasion, metastasis, immune escape, and drug resistance in PaCa. Besides, recent studies emphasize that exosomal RNAs may serve as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets for PaCa. In this review, we will introduce these recent insights focusing on the discoveries of the relationship between exosomal RNAs and PaCa, and the potentially diagnostic and therapeutic applications of exosomes in PaCa.

Pancreatic cancer is characterized by an extensive fibroinflammatory reaction that includes immune cells, fibroblasts, extracellular matrix, vascular and lymphatic vessels, and nerves. Overwhelming evidence indicates that the pancreatic cancer microenvironment regulates cancer initiation, progression, and maintenance. Pancreatic cancer treatment has progressed little over the past several decades, and the prognosis remains one of the worst for any cancer. The contribution of the microenvironment to carcinogenesis is a key area of research, offering new potential targets for treating the disease. Here, we explore the composition of the pancreatic cancer stroma, discuss the network of interactions between different components, and describe recent attempts to target the stroma therapeutically. We also discuss current areas of active research related to the tumor microenvironment.
