[PMID: 39288476 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155591] [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: 06/04/2024] [Revised: 09/01/2024] [Accepted: 09/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024]
Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) has a high rate of morbidity, death, and medical expenses, making it a worldwide public health problem. There are still few viable treatment plans for AKI despite medical advancements. A subclass of non-coding RNAs with over 200 nucleotides in length, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have a wide range of biological roles. Lately, lncRNAs have become important mediators of AKI and prospective biomarkers. However, current studies show that, via constructing the lncRNA/microRNA/target gene regulatory axis, abnormal expression of lncRNAs has been connected to significant pathogenic processes associated with AKI, such as the inflammatory response, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. In order to compete with mRNAs for binding to the same miRNAs and affect the expression of transcripts targeted by miRNAs, lncRNAs may function as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). The most widely used approach for researching the biological roles of lncRNAs is the construction of ceRNA regulation networks. Our goal in this article is to deliver an updated review of lncRNAs in AKI and to provide more knowledge on their possible applications as therapeutic targets and AKI biomarkers.

Halabi N, Thomas B, Chidiac O, Robay A, AbiNahed J, Jayyousi A, Al Suwaidi J, Bradic M, Abi Khalil C. Dysregulation of long non-coding RNA gene expression pathways in monocytes of type 2 diabetes patients with cardiovascular disease. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:196. [PMID: 38849833 PMCID: PMC11161966 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02292-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Monocytes play a central role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients through different mechanisms. We investigated diabetes-induced changes in lncRNA genes from T2D patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), long-duration diabetes, and poor glycemic control. METHODS We performed paired-end RNA sequencing of monocytes from 37 non-diabetes controls and 120 patients with T2D, of whom 86 had either macro or microvascular disease or both. Monocytes were sorted from peripheral blood using flow cytometry; their RNA was purified and sequenced. Alignments and gene counts were obtained with STAR to reference GRCh38 using Gencode (v41) annotations followed by batch correction with CombatSeq. Differential expression analysis was performed with EdgeR and pathway analysis with IPA software focusing on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with a p-value < 0.05. Additionally, differential co-expression analysis was done with csdR to identify lncRNAs highly associated with diabetes-related expression networks with network centrality scores computed with Igraph and network visualization with Cytoscape. RESULTS Comparing T2D vs. non-T2D, we found two significantly upregulated lncRNAs (ENSG00000287255, FDR = 0.017 and ENSG00000289424, FDR = 0.048) and one significantly downregulated lncRNA (ENSG00000276603, FDR = 0.017). Pathway analysis on DEGs revealed networks affecting cellular movement, growth, and development. Co-expression analysis revealed ENSG00000225822 (UBXN7-AS1) as the highest-scoring diabetes network-associated lncRNA. Analysis within T2D patients and CVD revealed one lncRNA upregulated in monocytes from patients with microvascular disease without clinically documented macrovascular disease. (ENSG00000261654, FDR = 0.046). Pathway analysis revealed DEGs involved in networks affecting metabolic and cardiovascular pathologies. Co-expression analysis identified lncRNAs strongly associated with diabetes networks, including ENSG0000028654, ENSG00000261326 (LINC01355), ENSG00000260135 (MMP2-AS1), ENSG00000262097, and ENSG00000241560 (ZBTB20-AS1) when we combined the results from all patients with CVD. Similarly, we identified from co-expression analysis of diabetes patients with a duration ≥ 10 years vs. <10 years two lncRNAs: ENSG00000269019 (HOMER3-AS10) and ENSG00000212719 (LINC02693). The comparison of patients with good vs. poor glycemic control also identified two lncRNAs: ENSG00000245164 (LINC00861) and ENSG00000286313. CONCLUSION We identified dysregulated diabetes-related genes and pathways in monocytes of diabetes patients with cardiovascular complications, including lncRNA genes of unknown function strongly associated with networks of known diabetes genes.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a major health concern that necessitates appropriate diagnostic approaches for timely intervention. This review critically evaluates the role of liquid biopsy techniques, focusing on blood- and urine-based biomarkers, in overcoming the limitations of conventional diagnostic methods. The 4Kscore test and Prostate Health Index have demonstrated efficacy in distinguishing PCa from benign conditions. Urinary biomarker tests such as PCa antigen 3, MyProstateScore, SelectMDx, and ExoDx Prostate IntelliScore test have revolutionized risk stratification and minimized unnecessary biopsies. Emerging biomarkers, including non-coding RNAs, circulating tumor DNA, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) glycosylation, offer valuable insights into PCa biology, enabling personalized treatment strategies. Advancements in non-invasive liquid biomarkers for PCa diagnosis may facilitate the stratification of patients and avoid unnecessary biopsies, particularly when PSA is in the gray area of 4 to 10 ng/mL.

The mechanisms behind the dual role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) metastasis suppressor-1 in human tumors: Shedding light on the molecular mechanisms. Pathol Res Pract 2024; 256:155189. [PMID: 38452581 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
When the expression levels of metastasis suppressor-1 (MTSS1) were discovered to be downregulated in a metastatic cancer cell line in 2002, it was proposed that MTSS1 functioned as a suppressor of metastasis. The 755 amino acid long protein MTSS1 connects to actin and organizes the cytoskeleton. Its gene is located on human chromosome 8q24. The suppressor of metastasis in metastatic cancer was first found to be MTSS1. Subsequent reports revealed that MTSS1 is linked to the prevention of metastasis in a variety of cancer types, including hematopoietic cancers like diffuse large B cell lymphoma and esophageal, pancreatic, and stomach cancers. Remarkably, conflicting results have also been documented. For instance, it has been reported that MTSS1 expression levels are elevated in a subset of melanomas, hepatocellular carcinoma associated with hepatitis B, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and lung squamous cell carcinoma. This article provides an overview of the pathological effects of lncRNA MTSS1 dysregulation in cancer. In order to facilitate the development of MTSS1-based therapeutic targeting, we also shed light on the current understanding of MTS1.

Mol Genet Genomics 2022; 297:591-600. [PMID: 35218396 PMCID: PMC8960609 DOI: 10.1007/s00438-022-01869-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 02/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) are involved in regulating physiological behaviors for various malignant tumors, including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, few studies comprehensively evaluated both lncRNA-lncRNA interaction effects and main effects of lncRNA on overall survival of NSCLC. Hence, we performed a two-phase designed study of lncRNA expression in tumor tissues using 604 NSCLC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas as the discovery phase and 839 patients from Gene Expression Omnibus as the validation phase. In the discovery phase, we adopted a two-step strategy, Screening before Testing, for dimension reduction and signal detection. These candidate lncRNAs first screened out by the weighted random forest (Ranger), were then tested through the Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for covariates. Significant lncRNAs with either type of effects aforementioned were carried forward into the validation phase to confirm their significances again. As a result, in the discovery phase, 19 lncRNAs were identified by Ranger, among which five lncRNAs and one pair of lncRNA-lncRNA interaction exhibited significant effects (FDR-q ≤ 0.05) main and interaction effects on NSCLC survival, respectively, through Cox model. After the independent validation, we finally observed that one lncRNA (ENSG00000227403.1) with main effect was robustly associated with NSCLC prognosis (HRdiscovery = 0.90, P = 1.20 × 10-3; HRvalidation = 0.94, P = 4.11 × 10-3) and one pair of lncRNAs (ENSG00000267121.4 and ENSG00000272369.1) had significant interaction effect on NSCLC survival (HRdiscovery = 1.12, P = 3.07 × 10-4; HRvalidation = 1.11, P = 0.0397). Our comprehensive NSCLC prognostic study of lncRNA provided population-level evidence for further functional study.

Abstract
A newly discovered long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is associated with the progression of a variety of tumors. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to explore further the relationship between clinicopathological features and the prognostic value of LINC00675 in caners.We searched the various database, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase together with Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure for articles on LINC00675 and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with cancers before February 20, 2020. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the studies that meet the criteria were systematically collected through search keywords. The Newcastle Ottawa document quality assessment system was used to evaluate the quality of documents. The required data from literature were extracted, and the hazard ratio (HR), odds ratio (OR), and 95confidence interval (CI) were calculated using stata12.0 software and RevMan5.3 software.A total of 5 studies covering 462 patients were included in this meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic value of LINC00675 in cancers. Our results showed that high LINC00675 expression was significantly correlated with poor overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.60, 95% CI: 1.23-2.08, P = .0005). Additionally, upregulated expression of LINC00675 was significantly associated with tumor node metastasis stage (OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.18-2.58, P = .006) and distant metastasis (OR = 2.22, 95% CI: 1.21-4.08, P = .01).Our study suggests that LINC00675 could be used as a biomarker to evaluate the prognosis of cancer patients. More studies to further confirm that the clinical value of LINC00675 in cancers will be required.

Abstract
Background and aims: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FOXD2 adjacent opposite strand RNA 1 (FOXD2-AS1) is aberrantly expressed in various cancers and associated with cancer progression. A comprehensive meta-analysis was performed based on published literature and data in the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and then the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset was used to assess the clinicopathological and prognostic value of FOXD2-AS1 in cancer patients. Methods: Gene Expression Omnibus databases of microarray data and published articles were used for meta-analysis, and TCGA dataset was also explored using the GEPIA analysis program. Hazard ratios (HRs) and pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the role of FOXD2-AS1 in cancers. Results: This meta-analysis included 21 studies with 2391 patients and 25 GEO datasets with 3311 patients. The pooled HRs suggested that highly expressed FOXD2-AS1 expression was correlated with poor overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Similar results were obtained by analysis of TCGA data for 9502 patients. The pooled results also indicated that FOXD2-AS1 expression was associated with bigger tumor size and advanced TNM stage, but was not related to age, gender, differentiation and lymph node metastasis. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that FOXD2-AS1 is closely related to tumor size and TNM stage. Additionally, increased FOXD2-AS1 was a risk factor of OS and DFS in cancer patients, suggesting FOXD2-AS1 may be a potential biomarker in human cancers.

Abstract
Background Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) affect a series of cellular biological processes, including oncogene function promotion. In this study, we explored the functions and mechanisms of FAM83A antisense RNA 1 (FAM83A‐AS1) in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression. Methods The expression of FAM83A‐AS1and FAM83A mRNA was analyzed using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data. Proliferation, migration, invasion and Western blotting were measured after treatment with overexpressed or knockdown FAM83A‐AS1. To determine the relationship between FAM83A‐AS1 and FAM83A, RNase protection assay (RPA), amanitin treatment, RNA pulldown assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay were performed. Results High expression of FAM83A‐AS1 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) was closely associated with low overall survival (OS) and progression‐free survival (PFS). Functionally, high FAM83A‐AS1 expression increased LUAD cell proliferation and metastasis, indicating that FAM83A‐AS1 exerted its oncogenic functions. Furthermore, FAM83A‐AS1 promoted NSCLC progression via ERK signaling pathways. Mechanistically, FAM83A‐AS1 post‐transcriptionally increased FAM83A expression by enhancing pre‐mRNA stability. FAM83A‐AS1 enhanced FAM83A mRNA stability not only by forming an RNA duplex but also by binding to FBL. Conclusions We determined that FAM83A‐AS1 increased FAM83A expression by enhancing FAM83A pre‐mRNA stability and promoted the tumorigenesis of LUAD.

Abstract
Background and aims Studies show that the long non-coding RNA, SBF2-AS1, plays a critical role in cancer progression, but the role of SBF2-AS1 in gastric cancer has not been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of SBF2-AS1 in gastric cancer (GC). Methods A meta-analysis, based on the gene expression omnibus database and TCGA dataset was performed to explore the prognostic value of SBF2-AS1 in GC. RT-PCR was also conducted to investigate the clinicopathologic value of SBF2-AS1 in GC. The effect of SBF2-AS1 in GC cell lines was conducted by gain or loss-of-function assays, and the SBF2-AS1 target gene was confirmed using a luciferase reporter assay and bioinformatics. Results SBF2-AS1 was overexpressed in GC tissues and cell lines, and SBF2-AS1 overexpression indicated poor overall survival and could serve as an independent prognostic factor. Moreover, knockdown of SBF2-AS1 inhibited cell growth, invasion, and metastasis, promoted apoptosis, and caused cell cycle arrest. Luciferase reporter and gain- or loss-of-function assays indicated that SBF2-AS1 acted as a competing endogenous (ceRNA) for microRNA (miR)-302b-3p, which blocked the inhibitory effect of miR-302b-3p on the E2F transcription factor 3 (E2F3). Conclusion SBF2-AS1 could be a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in GC, and SBF2-AS1 accelerates tumor progression via the miR-302b-3p/E2F3 axis.

Yang ML, Huang Z, Wu LN, Wu R, Ding HX, Wang BG. lncRNA- PCAT1 rs2632159 polymorphism could be a biomarker for colorectal cancer susceptibility. Biosci Rep 2019; 39:BSR20190708. [PMID: 31253700 PMCID: PMC6629943 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20190708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2019] [Revised: 05/29/2019] [Accepted: 06/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in lncRNAs could be biomarkers for susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC), but the association of PCAT1 polymorphisms and CRC susceptibility is yet to be studied. Methods: Five tagSNPs covering the PCAT1 gene were detected through Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR among 436 CRC patients and 510 controls. An expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) bioinformatic analysis was then performed. Results: In the present study, PCAT1 rs2632159 polymorphism increased CRC risk by 1.37-fold and 2.19-fold in the dominant and recessive models, respectively (P=0.040 and 0.041). When the CRC cases were divided into colon cancer and rectal cancer, we found that this polymorphism affected colon cancer risk under the dominant model (P=0.022, OR = 1.51) and affected rectal cancer susceptibility under the recessive model (P=0.009, OR = 3.03). A more pronounced effect was observed in the male subgroup in that PCAT1 rs2632159 SNP increased rectal cancer risk by 3.97-fold (P=0.017). When PCAT1 rs2632159 was present, epistatic effects were observed with rs1902432 and rs785005 (P=0.011 and 0.008, respectively). eQTL analysis showed that rs2632159 could influence binding with the transcription factors EBF, LUN-1, and TCF12. Conclusion:PCAT1 rs2632159 SNP could be a biomarker for CRC risk. And the rs1902432 SNP might only have potential to be a biomarker for colon cancer risk.

The prognostic value of LINC01296 in pan-cancers and the molecular regulatory mechanism in hepatocellular carcinoma: a comprehensive study based on data mining, bioinformatics, and in vitro validation. Onco Targets Ther 2019; 12:5861-5885.

Abstract
Background and aims This study aimed to clarify the prognostic role of LINC01296 in various cancers, and to evaluate its effect on proliferation, metastasis, and the cell cycle in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by data mining, bioinformatics, and in vitro validation. Methods The prognostic role of LINC01296 in cancer patients was assessed by searching the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Gene Expression Omnibus databases and calculating pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs); this prognostic role was also evaluated using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We detected LINC01296 expression in HCC cell lines, and lentivirus-mediated small interfering RNAs were used to silence LINC01296 in MHCC97H and Hep3B cells to explore the role of LINC01296 in cell proliferation, metastasis, and cell cycle progression with in vitro validation and bioinformatics. Results The results indicated that LINC01296 overexpression was associated with poor overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in various cancers; however, LINC01296 expression was not associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS). Similar results were found with TCGA, which showed that LINC01296 expression was associated with the pathologic stage, tumor size, and differentiation in Asian cancer patients. Additionally, bioinformatics analysis revealed expression of 394 related genes, which indicated that LINC01296 could be involved in the tumorigenesis and progression of HCC. In vitro gene silencing experiments indicated that LINC01296 downregulation repressed cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and the metastatic potential of HCC through the regulation of BUB1, CCNA2, and CDK1 expression. Conclusion This study demonstrated that LINC01296 expression is related to poor OS and DFS in a variety of cancer types and that LINC01296 has an oncogenic role in HCC.

Abstract
Background Differentiation antagonizing non-protein-coding RNA (DANCR) is a novel long noncoding RNA. Recent studies have shown that DANCR is aberrantly expressed in several types of cancer and is associated with poor outcomes. However, the clinical diagnostic significance of DANCR in tumors is not completely understood. Methods We searched the PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Ovid databases (up to December 30, 2018) for relevant literature. A total of 11 studies with 945 cancer patients were included in the present meta-analysis. We further validated the results using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. Results High expression of DANCR significantly predicted poor overall survival (low expression group vs high expression group; HR =0.56, 95% CI=[0.43, 0.72], =0.000); this was validated using TCGA. Moreover, DANCR expression was associated with advanced tumor node metastasis stage (I+II:III+IV; OR=0.22, 95% CI=[0.14, 0.35], P=0.001) and lymph node metastasis (no:yes; OR=0.21, 95% CI=[0.13, 0.35], P=0.001). Conclusion Our results suggest that elevated DANCR is related to poor clinical outcomes and could serve as a potential prognostic biomarker of cancer.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is still an incurable disease, and its pathogenesis involves cytogenetics and epigenetics. In recent years, the roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in MM have been deeply studied by scholars. LncRNAs are defined as a class of non-protein-coding transcripts greater than 200 nucleotides in length, which are involved in a large spectrum of biological processes, including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, invasion, and chromatin remodeling. However, little is known about the specific mechanisms of these lncRNAs. They can act as oncogenic and/or tumor-suppressive factors in the development and progression of MM. But that how do they work remains unclear. In this review, the recent progress in the study of functional lncRNAs associated with MM was summarized and the present knowledge about their expression and roles was discussed, to provide guidance for the in-depth functional study of lncRNAs.

Abstract
Prostate cancer-associated transcript 1 (PCAT-1) is a newly identified long non-coding RNA comprising two exons, located in the Chr8q24 gene desert approximately 725 kb upstream of the MYC oncogene. PCAT-1 is dysregulated and acts as an oncogene in different types of cancers and has been implicated in several processes correlated with carcinogenesis, such as cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, apoptosis, cell cycle, chemoresistance, and homologous recombination. The mechanisms underlying the effects of PCAT-1 are complex and involve multiple factors and signaling pathways. In this paper, we systematically review the multiple pathological functions of PCAT-1 in diverse malignancies to elucidate its potential molecular mechanisms and to provide new directions for future research.

Abstract
This study was aimed to explore the differential expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA)‐PCAT1, miR‐145‐5p and TLR4 in osteogenic differentiation via the Toll‐like receptor (TLR) signalling pathway and consequently determine the potential molecular mechanism. The mRNAs and pathways related to the osteogenic differentiation in human adipose‐derived stem cells (hADSCs) were analysed by bioinformatics. The MiRanda and TargetScan database were employed to detect the potential binding sites of miRNAs on lncRNAs and mRNAs. The differential expression of lncRNA‐PCAT1, miR‐145‐5p and TLR4 were detected by qRT‐PCR. Rrelated protein expression was analysed by Western blot. The targeted relationships between lncRNA‐PCAT1, miR‐145‐5p and TLR4 were verified by dual‐luciferase reporter assay. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and ARS staining assays were used to measure the impacts exerted by lncRNA PCAT1, miR‐145‐5p and TLR4 mRNA on osteogenic differentiation. After the induction of osteoblast differentiation, the expression of lncRNA‐PCAT1 and TLR4 increased, while the expression of miR‐145‐5p decreased. Dual‐luciferase reporter assay confirmed the targeted relationship between lncRNA‐PCAT1, miR‐145‐5p, and TLR4. LncRNA‐PCAT1 negatively regulated miR‐145‐5p and positively regulated TLR4. Knockdown of lncRNA‐PCAT1 or TLR4 decreased the expression of osteogenic differentiation‐related proteins, reduced the ALP and ARS levels and the activity of the TLR signalling pathway. MiR‐145‐5p could reverse the effects of PCAT1 and TLR4 in hADSCs osteogenic differentiation. LncRNA‐PCAT1 negatively regulated miR‐145‐5p, which promoted TLR4 expression to promote osteogenic differentiation by activating the TLR signalling pathway.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC)/mammary gland carcinoma (MGC) is the most frequently diagnosed and leading cause of cancer-related mortality in both women and canines. To better understand both canine MGC and human BC-specific genes, we sequenced RNAs obtained from eight pairs of carcinomas and adjacent normal tissues in dogs. By comprehensive transcriptome analysis, 351 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in overall canine MGCs. Based on the DEGs, comparative analysis revealed correlation existing among the three histological subtypes of canine MGC (ductal, simple, and complex) and four molecular subtypes of human BC (HER2+, ER+, ER&HER2+, and TNBC). Eight DEGs shared by all three subtypes of canine MGCs had been previously reported as cancer-associated genes in human studies. Gene ontology and pathway analyses using the identified DEGs revealed that the biological processes of cell proliferation, adhesion, and inflammatory responses are enriched in up-regulated MGC DEGs. In contrast, fatty acid homeostasis and transcription regulation involved in cell fate commitment were down-regulated in MGC DEGs. Moreover, correlations are demonstrated between upstream promoter transcripts and DEGs. Canine MGC- and subtype-enriched gene expression allows us to better understand both human BC and canine MGC, yielding new insight into the development of biomarkers and targets for both diseases.
