Liu T, Xu S, Yang J, Xing X. Roles of LncRNAs in the Pathogenesis of Pulmonary Hypertension. Rev Cardiovasc Med 2024; 25:217. [PMID: 39076325 PMCID: PMC11270120 DOI: 10.31083/j.rcm2506217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2023] [Revised: 12/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/31/2024] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a persistently progressive, incurable, multifactorial associated fatal pulmonary vascular disease characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in regulating pathological processes such as pulmonary vasoconstriction, thickening, remodeling, and inflammatory cell infiltration in PH by acting on different cell types. Because of their differential expression in PH patients, as demonstrated by the observation that some lncRNAs are significantly upregulated while others are significantly downregulated in PH patients, lncRNAs are potentially useful biomarkers for assessing disease progression and diagnosis or prognosis in PH patients. This article provides an overview of the different mechanisms by which lncRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of PH.

Li J, Zhou L, Jiang Y, Gao H, Maierhaba T, Gong H. Long noncoding RNA RMRP ameliorates doxorubicin-induced apoptosis by interacting with PFN1 in a P53-Dependent manner. Mol Cell Probes 2023; 72:101937. [PMID: 37820747 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcp.2023.101937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) often causes acute or chronic cardiotoxicity during its application. LncRNA RMRP has been reported to be associated with several biological processes, such as cartilage-hair hypoplasia, but the relationship between RMRP and DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and chronic heart failure remains obscure. To test this hypothesis, GSE124401 and GSE149870 were processed for bioinformatics, and differentially expressed RMRP was then verified in the peripheral blood of 21 patients with heart failure compared with 7 controls. For in vitro validation, we used AC16 and HEK-293T cells. qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels. The degree of apoptosis was detected by Western blot and TUNEL staining. Furthermore, the interaction between RMRP and PFN1 mRNA was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assays. In bioinformatics, RMRP showed significant downregulation, which was verified in clinical samples (p < 0.001) and DOX-treated AC16 models (p < 0.0001). Next, overexpression of RMRP could significantly alleviate DOX-induced apoptosis, and a potential downstream molecule of RMRP, PFN1, was also negatively associated with this change. RESCUE experiments further confirmed that PFN1 could be regulated by RMRP at both the RNA and protein levels, serving as a downstream mediator of RMRP's cardioprotective effects. This interaction was then confirmed to be a direct combination (p < 0.0001). Finally, we found that overexpression of RMRP could inhibit the expression of p53 and its phosphorylation level by suppressing PFN1. In summary, RMRP could exert cardioprotective effects via the PFN1/p53 axis, holding great promise for serving as a therapeutic target and potential biomarker.

Abstract
Introduction: Arterial hypertension (AH) is a pervasive global health concern with multifaceted origins encompassing both genetic and environmental components. Previous research has firmly established the association between AH and diverse genetic factors. Consequently, scientists have conducted extensive genetic investigations in recent years to unravel the intricate pathophysiology of AH. Methods: In this study, we conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis employing VOSviewer software to identify the most noteworthy genetic factors that have been the focal point of numerous investigations within the AH field in recent years. Our analysis revealed genes and microRNAs intricately linked to AH, underscoring their pivotal roles in this condition. Additionally, we performed molecular docking analyses to ascertain microRNAs with the highest binding affinity to these identified genes. Furthermore, we constructed a network to elucidate the in-silico-based functional interactions between the identified microRNAs and genes, shedding light on their potential roles in AH pathogenesis. Results: Notably, this pioneering in silico examination of genetic factors associated with AH promises novel insights into our understanding of this complex condition. Our findings prominently highlight miR-7110-5p, miR-7110-3p, miR-663, miR-328-3p, and miR-140-5p as microRNAs exhibiting a remarkable affinity for target genes. These microRNAs hold promise as valuable diagnostic and therapeutic factors, offering new avenues for the diagnosis and treatment of AH in the foreseeable future. Conclusion: In summary, this research underscores the critical importance of genetic factors in AH and, through in silico analyses, identifies specific microRNAs with significant potential for further investigation and clinical applications in AH management.

Yuan J, Li S, Han Y, Li F, Shi H, Shi W, Cui W. Restoration of miR-328a-5p function curtails hypoxic pulmonary hypertension through a mechanism involving PIN1/GSK3β/β-catenin axis. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 123:110599. [PMID: 37567011 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2022] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
Recent evidence has highlighted the involvement of microRNAs (miRs) in hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (PH), which can be induced under hypoxic conditions. We intend to explore whether the miR-328a-5p/PIN1 axis affects hypoxic PH by regulating the GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway. The GEO database was retrieved to single out key miRs affecting hypoxic PH. It was observed that downregulation of miR-328a-5p occurred in hypoxia-induced PH samples. The binding affinity between miR-328a-5p to PIN1 was predicted by a bioinformatics tool and verified using a dual luciferase reporter gene assay. Rat primary pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) were exposed to hypoxia for in vitro cell experiments. miR-328a-5p could target and downregulate PIN1 expression, leading to suppressed GSK3β/β-catenin activation. In addition, GSK3β/β-catenin inactivation curtailed hypoxia-induced vascular inflammatory responses and proliferation and migration in PASMCs in vitro. A hypoxic PH model was established in SD rats to observe the effects of miR-328a-5p on hemodynamic parameters and right heart remodeling. It was demonstrated in vivo that miR-328a-5p downregulated PIN1 expression to suppress GSK3β/β-catenin signaling, thereby reducing the vascular inflammatory response and alleviating disease progression in hypoxia-induced PH rats. The evidence provided by our study highlighted the involvement of miR-328a-5p in the translational suppression of PIN1 and the blockade of the GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway, resulting in attenuation of hypoxic PH progression.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of long noncoding RNA 00963 expression and prognosis and clinicopathological characteristic in human cancers. Pathol Res Pract 2023; 242:154291. [PMID: 36696806 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2022.154291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have indicated that the aberrant expression of LINC00963 is extensively present in various human tumors, and that dysregulation of LINC00963 is implicated in the initiation and progression of human cancers. In this meta-analysis, data from diverse malignancies were analyzed to determine whether LINC00963 expression levels were associated with clinical prognosis and immune infiltration in pan-cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS The eligible studies were identified from several electronic databases from the inception to July 2022 through systematic research. LINC00963 expression and survival were estimated using pooled odds ratios and hazard ratios with 95% CI. We used the Kaplan-Meier method and COX analysis for survival analysis. In addition, Spearman's correlation analysis was used to uncover any correlation between LINC00963 and microsatellites instability (MSI), tumor mutational burden (TMB), DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), immune checkpoint biomarkers, and the related genes of mismatch repair (MMR). RESULTS Our findings indicated that overexpression of LINC00963 was related to poor overall survival (OS) (HR =1.32, 95% CI, 1.09-1.59, P = 0.004). The TCGA database also found that abnormal expression of LINC00963 was linked to overall survival in various cancers. Moreover, there is an association between LINC00963 expression and MSI, TMB, and MMR in malignancies of various types. CONCLUSION The results of this study indicate that LINC00963 may serve as a prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target for cancer. By using it, cancer diagnoses can be improved, treatment targets discovered, and prognostic questions improved.

Construction and Comprehensive Analysis of miRNAs and Target mRNAs in Longissimus dorsi Muscle of Queshan Black and Large White Pigs. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12111814. [DOI: 10.3390/life12111814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 10/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
A miRNA-mRNA combination analysis was performed on the longissimus dorsi muscle of adult Queshan Black and Large White pigs by RNA-seq technology to reveal the molecular mechanism affecting pork quality traits. The sequencing results showed that 39 miRNAs were differentially expressed between Queshan Black and Large White pigs, which targeted 5234 mRNAs, and 15 differentially expressed miRNAs targeted 86 differentially expressed mRNAs. The qRT-PCR results showed that miRNAs showed similar expression patterns to RNA-seq. The GO analysis indicated that differentially expressed miRNAs with differential target mRNAs were primarily involved in biological processes such as phospholipase activity, MAP-kinase scaffold activity, lipase activity, and regulation of the extent of cell growth. The KEGG analysis also revealed that such mRNAs were significantly enriched in the ECM-receptor interaction, sphingolipid metabolism, apoptosis, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and AMPK signaling pathway. In addition, software predictions showed that 17 (13 of which were upregulated and four were downregulated) of 39 differentially expressed miRNAs targeted 118 negatively correlated expression mRNAs. The upregulated miRNAs contained 103 negatively correlated target mRNAs, whereas the downregulated miRNAs contained 15 negatively correlated target mRNAs. The GO analysis showed that such mRNAs were primarily involved in MAP-kinase scaffold activity, myoblast development, and peptidyl-lysine methylation, and the KEGG analysis showed significant enrichment in ECM-receptor interaction and focal adhesion. The functional enrichment analysis of miRNA target genes revealed that miR-328 was screened out as a key miRNA, and preliminary functional validation was performed. Moreover, the overexpressed miR-328 could affect the expression of proliferation-related genes, such as CDK2, CDK4, CCNB1, CCND1, CCNE1, and PCNA. These results indicated that miR-328 may regulate fat deposition and affect meat quality by influencing related pathways. This study revealed that the miRNA−mRNA regulatory axis affects fat deposition and skeletal muscle development, which provides a theoretical basis for further study on the molecular mechanism of meat quality.

Abstract
Long intergenic noncoding RNA 00963 (LINC00963) is located on human chromosome 9q34.11. Aberrantly expressed LINC00963 often exerts oncogenic effects by regulating various cellular processes including proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT, and apoptosis. Overexpressed LINC00963 is associated with cancer clinicopathological features and poor cancer prognosis, and can be used in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. LINC00963 can build a complex ceRNA network by competitively binding to 22 miRNAs in 14 cancers. LINC00963 can also directly regulate four downstream protein-coding genes. Specifically, LINC00963 promotes the transition of prostate cancer from an androgen-dependent mode to an androgen-independent mode by participating in the transactivation of EGFR. LINC00963 can bind EZH2 and inhibit p21 expression, thereby promoting glioma cell proliferation and invasion. In non-small cell lung cancer, LINC00963 can recruit NONO and CRTC, forming a positive feedback loop of LINC00963/NONO/CRTC/CREB/LINC00963, thereby promoting cancer cell metastasis. LINC00963 is involved in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, AMPK signaling pathway, and MAPK signaling pathway. Furthermore, LINC00963 is associated with drug resistance in oral squamous cell carcinoma (cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil) and gastric cancer (oxaliplatin) and predicts neoadjuvant efficacy of taxane-anthracyclines in breast cancer. This work systematically reviewed the clinical value of abnormal expression of LINC00963 in various tumors, demonstrated the complex molecular mechanism of LINC00963, and provided directions for future related research.
