Noncoding RNA 2023; 9:58. [PMID: 37888204 PMCID: PMC10610215 DOI: 10.3390/ncrna9050058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Long intergenic non-coding RNA, is one type of lncRNA, exerting various cellular activities, as does ncRNA, including the regulation of gene expression and chromatin remodeling. The abnormal expression of lincRNAs can induce or suppress carcinogenesis. MAIN BODY LincRNAs can regulate cancer progression through different mechanisms and are considered as potential drug targets. Genetic variations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in lincRNAs may affect gene expression and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) stability. SNPs in lincRNAs have been found to be associated with different types of cancer, as well. Specifically, LINC00511 has been known to promote the progression of multiple malignancies such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and others, making it a promising cancer prognostic molecular marker. CONCLUSION LincRNAs have been proved to be associated with different cancer types through various pathways. Herein, we performed a comprehensive literature and in silico databases search listing lncRNAs, lincRNAs including LINC00511, lncRNAs' SNPs, as well as LINC00511 SNPs in different cancer types, focusing on their role in various cancer types and mechanism(s) of action.

Role of miR-15a-5p and miR-199a-3p in the inflammatory pathway regulated by NF-κB in experimental and human atherosclerosis. Clin Transl Med 2023; 13:e1363. [PMID: 37605307 PMCID: PMC10442475 DOI: 10.1002/ctm2.1363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) prevalence has significantly increased in the last decade and atherosclerosis development is the main trigger. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression of their target and their levels are frequently altered in CVDs. METHODS By RT-qPCR, we analysed miR-9-5p, miR-15a-5p, miR-16-5p and miR-199a-3p levels in aorta from apolipoprotein knockout (ApoE-/- ) mice, an experimental model of hyperlipidemia-induced atherosclerosis, and in human aortic and carotid atherosclerotic samples. By in silico studies, Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence studies, we detected the targets of the altered miRNAs. RESULTS Our results show that miR-15a-5p and miR-199a-3p are significantly decreased in carotid and aortic samples from patients and mice with atherosclerosis. In addition, we found an increased expression in targets of both miRNAs that participate in the inflammatory pathway of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), such as IKKα, IKKβ and p65. In human vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), the overexpression of miR-15a-5p or miR-199a-3p decreased IKKα, IKKβ and p65 protein levels as well as NF-κB activation. On the other hand, miR-15a-5p and miR-199a-3p overexpression reduced ox-LDL uptake and the inflammation regulated by NF-κB in VSMCs. Moreover, although miR-15a-5p and miR-199a-3p were significantly increased in exosomes from patients with advanced carotid atherosclerosis, only in the ROC analyses for miR-15a-5p, the area under the curve was 0.8951 with a p value of .0028. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the decrease of miR-199a-3p and miR-15a-5p in vascular samples from human and experimental atherosclerosis could be involved in the NF-κB activation pathway, as well as in ox-LDL uptake by VSMCs, contributing to inflammation and progression atherosclerosis. Finally, miR-15a-5p could be used as a novel diagnostic biomarker for advanced atherosclerosis.

Regulation of EMT Markers, Extracellular Matrix, and Associated Signalling Pathways by Long Non-Coding RNAs in Glioblastoma Mesenchymal Transition: A Scoping Review. BIOLOGY 2023; 12:818. [PMID: 37372103 DOI: 10.3390/biology12060818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) mesenchymal (MES) transition can be regulated by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) via modulation of various factors (Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal (EMT) markers, biological signalling, and the extracellular matrix (ECM)). However, understanding of these mechanisms in terms of lncRNAs is largely sparse. This review systematically analysed the mechanisms by which lncRNAs influence MES transition in GBM from a systematic search of the literature (using PRISMA) performed in five databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science). We identified a total of 62 lncRNAs affiliated with GBM MES transition, of which 52 were upregulated and 10 were downregulated in GBM cells, where 55 lncRNAs were identified to regulate classical EMT markers in GBM (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin) and 25 lncRNAs were reported to regulate EMT transcription factors (ZEB1, Snai1, Slug, Twist, and Notch); a total of 16 lncRNAs were found to regulate the associated signalling pathways (Wnt/β-catenin, PI3k/Akt/mTOR, TGFβ, and NF-κB) and 14 lncRNAs were reported to regulate ECM components (MMP2/9, fibronectin, CD44, and integrin-β1). A total of 25 lncRNAs were found dysregulated in clinical samples (TCGA vs. GTEx), of which 17 were upregulated and 8 were downregulated. Gene set enrichment analysis predicted the functions of HOXAS3, H19, HOTTIP, MEG3, DGCR5, and XIST at the transcriptional and translational levels based on their interacting target proteins. Our analysis observed that the MES transition is regulated by complex interplays between the signalling pathways and EMT factors. Nevertheless, further empirical studies are required to elucidate the complexity in this process between these EMT factors and the signalling involved in the GBM MES transition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Airway remodeling in patients with asthma was correlated with induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of bronchial epithelial cells. OBJECTIVE This study examined the mechanism of Linc00511 on induced EMT of bronchial epithelial cells after transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) induction. METHODS The human bronchial epithelial cell 16HBE was treated with 10 ng/mL TGF-β1 for 12 h, 24 h, or 48 h to induce EMT. Cell proliferation and migration rate were detected using CCK8 and wound healing assays, respectively. The expression of key markers of EMT (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Small mothers against decapentaplegic family member 3 [Smad3], and slug) was tested by Western blot. RESULTS We found that Linc00511 was time dependently increased in TGF-β-treated 16HBE cells. Silencing Linc00511 reduced 16HBE cell proliferation, migration, and EMT progress. In addition, the dual-luciferase reporter assay showed Linc00511 was a molecular sponge for miR-16-5p. MiR-16-5p decreased the expression of Smad3 by targeting its 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR). After TGF-β1 exposure, miR-16-5p silencing counteracted the decreases of 16HBE cell proliferation, migration, and EMT induced by Linc00511 knockdown. And Smad3 overexpression also reversed the inhibitory effect of Linc00511 knockdown on proliferation, migration, and EMT progression in TGF-β1-induced human bronchial epithelial cells. CONCLUSION Linc00511 may be a valuable biomarker for asthma therapy.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is a malignant tumor that extremely impairs people. According to numerous studies, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) was inextricably involved in the advancement of LC. The work aspired to identify linc00511 expression in LC and to dig for the underlying mechanisms linc00511 regulated LC progression. Experimental outcomes revealed that linc00511 was obviously upregulated in LC, and linc00511 knockdown significantly impaired the malignant phenotype of LC cells in vitro. For an in-depth study on the contribution of linc00511 to LC advancement, it was disclosed that miR-16-5p had binding sites to the sequence of linc00511, which also inversely affected linc00511 expression in LC. Further experimental data demonstrated that miR-16-5p directly and negatively targeted matrix metallopeptidase 11 (MMP11). Also, rescue experiments displayed that miR-16-5p inhibition or MMP11 overexpressing offset the suppressive impacts of linc00511 silencing on LC progression. To sum up, our findings indicated that linc00511 performed a crucial role in facilitating LC progression, and mechanistic studies demonstrated that linc00511 aggravated LC progression via targeting the miR-16-5p/MMP11 axis.

Abstract
Simple Summary Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women today and accounts for thousands of cancer-related deaths each year. While some breast cancer subtypes can be easily diagnosed and targeted for therapy, triple-negative breast cancer, which lacks receptor expression, is the most challenging to diagnose and treat. In this study, we use multiple RNA sequencing data to look specifically at long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression portraits at the transcript level and to identify lncRNA-based biomarkers associated with each breast cancer subtype. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to validate their diagnostic potential, which was validated in two independent cohorts. Several lncRNA transcripts were found to be enriched in TNBC across all validation cohorts. Binary regression analysis identified a four lncRNA transcript signature with the highest diagnostic power for TNBC as potential novel biomarkers for diagnostic and therapeutic intervention. Interestingly, several of the identified lncRNAs were shown to have prognostic potential in TNBC. Abstract Breast cancer remains the world’s most prevalent cancer, responsible for around 685,000 deaths globally despite international research efforts and advances in clinical management. While estrogen receptor positive (ER+), progesterone receptor positive (PR+), and human epidermal growth factor receptor positive (HER2+) subtypes are easily classified and can be targeted, there remains no direct diagnostic test for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), except for the lack of receptors expression. The identification of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and the roles they play in cancer progression has recently proven to be beneficial. In the current study, we utilize RNA sequencing data to identify lncRNA-based biomarkers associated with TNBC, ER+ subtypes, and normal breast tissue. The Marker Finder algorithm identified the lncRNA transcript panel most associated with each molecular subtype and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to validate the diagnostic potential (area under the curve (AUC) of ≥8.0 and p value < 0.0001). Focusing on TNBC, findings from the discovery cohort were validated in an additional two cohorts, identifying 13 common lncRNA transcripts enriched in TNBC. Binary regression analysis identified a four lncRNA transcript signature (ENST00000425820.1, ENST00000448208.5, ENST00000521666.1, and ENST00000650510.1) with the highest diagnostic power for TNBC. The ENST00000671612.1 lncRNA transcript correlated with worse refractory free survival (RFS). Our data provides a step towards finding a novel diagnostic lncRNA-based panel for TNBC with potential therapeutic implications.
