Abstract
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are a class of cells with the potential of self-replication and multi-directional differentiation, which are widely considered to have great application value. It was to investigate miR-586 in DPSCs differentiated into odontoblast-like cells. In this article, human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) were used as samples, and hDPSCs were co-cultured with endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). Furthermore, a lentiviral expression vector for the miR-586 inhibitor was established. The effect of miR-586 inhibitor expression vector on the activity of hDPSCs was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). The differentiation of hDPSCs was tested by mineralized nodule staining. The expression of miR-586 and a gene related to dental cell differentiation in the pulp was subjected to detection by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). As against the normal hDPSCs and the empty vector, the miR-586 lentivirus expression inhibition vector could visibly raise the expression of dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) in hDPSCs; and the cell proliferation activity was visibly enhanced; In addition, the mRNA expressions of dentin-matrix acidic phosphoprotein 1 (DMP-1) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were visibly raised in the miR-586 lentivirus expression inhibition vector (all P < 0.05). Additionally, ALP activity was significantly enhanced (P < 0.05). The number of mineralized nodules was significantly increased (P < 0.05). MiR-586 plays a key regulatory function in DPSCs differentiated into odontoblast-like cells and is associated with specific molecular mechanisms.

Peña-Flores JA, Muela-Campos D, Guzmán-Medrano R, Enríquez-Espinoza D, González-Alvarado K. Functional Relevance of Extracellular Vesicle-Derived Long Non-Coding and Circular RNAs in Cancer Angiogenesis. Noncoding RNA 2024; 10:12. [PMID: 38392967 PMCID: PMC10891584 DOI: 10.3390/ncrna10010012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are defined as subcellular structures limited by a bilayer lipid membrane that function as important intercellular communication by transporting active biomolecules, such as proteins, amino acids, metabolites, and nucleic acids, including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). These cargos can effectively be delivered to target cells and induce a highly variable response. LncRNAs are functional RNAs composed of at least 200 nucleotides that do not code for proteins. Nowadays, lncRNAs and circRNAs are known to play crucial roles in many biological processes, including a plethora of diseases including cancer. Growing evidence shows an active presence of lnc- and circRNAs in EVs, generating downstream responses that ultimately affect cancer progression by many mechanisms, including angiogenesis. Moreover, many studies have revealed that some tumor cells promote angiogenesis by secreting EVs, which endothelial cells can take up to induce new vessel formation. In this review, we aim to summarize the bioactive roles of EVs with lnc- and circRNAs as cargo and their effect on cancer angiogenesis. Also, we discuss future clinical strategies for cancer treatment based on current knowledge of circ- and lncRNA-EVs.

Abstract
Non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, have been identified as crucial regulators of various biological processes through epigenetic regulation, transcriptional regulation, and post-transcriptional regulation. Growing evidence suggests that dysregulation and activation of non-coding RNAs are closely associated with tumor angiogenesis, a process essential for tumor growth and metastasis and a major contributor to cancer-related mortality. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor angiogenesis is of utmost importance. Numerous studies have documented the involvement of different types of non-coding RNAs in the regulation of angiogenesis. This review provides an overview of how non-coding RNAs regulate tumor angiogenesis. Additionally, we discuss emerging strategies that exploit non-coding RNAs for anti-angiogenic therapy in cancer treatment. Ultimately, this review underscores the crucial role played by non-coding RNAs in tumor angiogenesis and highlights their potential as therapeutic targets for anti-angiogenic interventions against cancer.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) as small non-coding RNAs with cell, tissue, or organ-specific expression accomplish a broad array of functions in physiological and pathological processes such as cancer development. Angiogenesis, a complicated multistep process driving a formation of new blood vessels, speeds up tumor progression by supplying nutrients as well as energy. Abnormal expression of circRNAs reported to affect tumor development through impressing angiogenesis. Such impacts are introduced as constant with different tumorigenic features known as "hallmarks of cancer". In addition, deregulated circRNAs show possibilities to prognosis and diagnosis both in the prophecy of prognosis in malignancies and also their prejudice from healthy individuals. In the present review article, we have evaluated the angiogenic impacts and anti-angiogenic managements of circRNAs in human cancers.

BMC Genomics 2023; 24:323.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) carries significant morbidity and mortality globally. An increasing number of studies have confirmed that circular RNA (circRNA) is tightly associated with the carcinogenesis and development of GC, especially acting as a competing endogenous RNA for miRNAs. OBJECTIVE Our study aimed to construct the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network and analyze the function and prognostic significance of the network using bioinformatics tools. METHODS We first downloaded the GC expression profile from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and identified differentially expressed genes and differentially expressed circRNAs. Then, we predicted the miRNA-mRNA interaction pairs and constructed the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network. Next, we established a protein-protein interaction network and analyzed the function of these networks. Finally, we primarily validated our results by comparison with The Cancer Genome Atlas cohort and by performing qRT-PCR. RESULTS We screened the top 15 hub genes and 3 core modules. Functional analysis showed that in the upregulated circRNA network, 15 hub genes were correlated with extracellular matrix organization and interaction. The function of downregulated circRNAs converged on physiological functions, such as protein processing, energy metabolism and gastric acid secretion. We ascertained 3 prognostic and immune infiltration-related genes, COL12A1, COL5A2, and THBS1, and built a nomogram for clinical application. We validated the expression level and diagnostic performance of key prognostic differentially expressed genes. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, we constructed two circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks and identified 3 prognostic and screening biomarkers, COL12A1, COL5A2, and THBS1. The ceRNA network and these genes could play important roles in GC development, diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
Sclerostin domain-containing protein-1 (Sostdc1) is a member of the sclerostin family and encodes a secreted 28–32 kDa protein with a cystine knot-like domain and two N-linked glycosylation sites. Sostdc1 functions as an antagonist to bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), mediating BMP signaling. It also interacts with LRP6, mediating LRP6 and Wnt signaling, thus regulating cellular proliferation, differentiation, and programmed cell death. Sostdc1 plays various roles in the skin, intestines, brain, lungs, kidneys, and vasculature. Deletion of Sostdc1 gene in mice resulted in supernumerary teeth and improved the loss of renal function in Alport syndrome. In the skeletal system, Sostdc1 is essential for bone metabolism, bone density maintenance, and fracture healing. Recently, Sostdc1 has been found to be closely related to the development and progression of multiple cancer types, including breast, renal, gastric, and thyroid cancers. This article summarises the role of Sostdc1 in skeletal biology and related cancers to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of related diseases.
