A comprehensive review on the emerging role of long non-coding RNAs in the regulation of NF-κB signaling in inflammatory lung diseases. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126951. [PMID: 37734525 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 28.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023]
Abstract
Public health globally faces significant risks from conditions like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and various inflammatory lung disorders. The NF-κB signaling system partially controls lung inflammation, immunological responses, and remodeling. Non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial in regulating gene expression. They are increasingly recognized for their involvement in NF-κB signaling and the development of inflammatory lung diseases. Disruption of lncRNA-NF-κB interactions is a potential cause and resolution factor for inflammatory respiratory conditions. This study explores the therapeutic potential of targeting lncRNAs and NF-κB signaling to alleviate inflammation and restore lung function. Understanding the intricate relationship between lncRNAs and NF-κB signaling could offer novel insights into disease mechanisms and identify therapeutic targets. Regulation of lncRNAs and NF-κB signaling holds promise as an effective approach for managing inflammatory lung disorders. This review aims to comprehensively analyze the interaction between lncRNAs and the NF-κB signaling pathway in the context of inflammatory lung diseases. It investigates the functional roles of lncRNAs in modulating NF-κB activity and the resulting inflammatory responses in lung cells, focusing on molecular mechanisms involving upstream regulators, inhibitory proteins, and downstream effectors.

[PMID: 37740493 PMCID: PMC10727995 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymthe.2023.09.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a distinct subtype of RNA that lack protein-coding capacity but exert significant influence on various cellular processes. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), dysregulated lncRNAs act as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors, contributing to tumorigenesis and tumor progression. LncRNAs directly modulate gene expression, act as competitive endogenous RNAs by interacting with microRNAs or proteins, and associate with RNA binding proteins. Moreover, lncRNAs can reshape the tumor immune microenvironment and influence cellular metabolism, cancer cell stemness, and angiogenesis by engaging various signaling pathways. Notably, lncRNAs have shown great potential as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers in liquid biopsies and therapeutic strategies for NSCLC. This comprehensive review elucidates the significant roles and diverse mechanisms of lncRNAs in NSCLC. Furthermore, we provide insights into the clinical relevance, current research progress, limitations, innovative research approaches, and future perspectives for targeting lncRNAs in NSCLC. By summarizing the existing knowledge and advancements, we aim to enhance the understanding of the pivotal roles played by lncRNAs in NSCLC and stimulate further research in this field. Ultimately, unraveling the complex network of lncRNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms in NSCLC could potentially lead to the development of novel diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies.

Dinuclear gold(I) complexes based on carbene and diphosphane ligands: bis[2-(dicyclohexylphosphano)ethyl]amine complex inhibits the proteasome activity, decreases stem cell markers and spheroid viability in lung cancer cells. J Biol Inorg Chem 2023; 28:751-766.

Abstract
Three new dinuclear gold(I) complexes (1-3) containing a carbene (1,3-Bis(2,6-di-isopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (IPr)) and diphosphane ligands [bis(1,2-diphenylphosphano)ethane (Dppe), bis(1,3-diphenylphosphano)propane (Dppp) and bis[2-(dicyclohexylphosphano)ethyl]amine (DCyPA)], were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and, ESI-MS, mid FT-IR and NMR spectroscopic methods. The structures of complexes 2 and 3 were determined by X-ray crystallography, which revealed that the complexes are dinuclear having gold(I) ions linearly coordinated. The anticancer activities of the complexes (1-3) were evaluated in lung (A549), breast (MC-F7), prostate (PC-3), osteosarcoma (MG-63) and ovarian (A2780 and A2780cis) cancer models. Growth inhibition by the new complexes was higher than cisplatin in all cell lines tested. The mechanism of action of complex 3 was investigated in A549 cells using 2-dimensional (2D) models and 3D-multicellular tumor spheroids. Treatment of A549 cells with complex 3 caused: the induction of apoptosis and the generation of reactive oxygen species; the cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase; the inhibition of both the proteasome and the NF-kB activity; the down-regulation of lung cancer stem cell markers (NOTCH1, CD133, ALDH1 and CD44). Complex 3 was more active than cisplatin also in 3D models of A549 lung cancer cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cancer cells maintain cell growth, division, and survival through altered energy metabolism. However, research on metabolic reprogramming in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is limited METHODS: We downloaded TCGA and GEO sequencing data. Consistent clustering with the ConsensusClusterPlus package was employed to detect the scores for four metabolism-related pathways. The LUAD samples in the TCGA dataset were clustered with ConsensusClusterPlus, and the optimal number of clusters was determined according to the cumulative distribution function (CDF). The cell score for each sample in the TCGA dataset was calculated using the MCPcounter estimate function of the MCPcounter package. RESULTS We identified two subtypes by scoring the samples based on the 4 metabolism-related pathways and cluster dimensionality reduction. The prognosis of cluster B was obviously poorer than that of cluster A in patients with LUAD. The analysis of single-nucleotide variation (SNV) data showed that the top 15 genes in the four metabolic pathways with the most mutations were TKTL2, PGK2, HK3, EHHADH, GLUD2, PKLR, TKTL1, HADHB, CPT1C, HK1, HK2, PFKL, SLC2A3, PFKFB1, and CPT1A. The IFNγ score of cluster B was significantly higher than that of cluster A. The immune T-cell lytic activity score of cluster B was significantly higher than that of cluster A. We further identified 5 immune cell subsets from single-cell sequencing data. The top 5 marker genes of B cells were IGHM, JCHAIN, IGLC3, IGHA1, and IGKC. The C0 subgroup of monocytes had a higher pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) score than the C6 subgroup. CONCLUSIONS Metabolism-related subtypes could be potential biomarkers in the prognosis prediction and treatment of LUAD.

N-nitrosamines-mediated downregulation of LncRNA-UCA1 induces carcinogenesis of esophageal squamous by regulating the alternative splicing of FGFR2. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 855:158918. [PMID: 36169023 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.158918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/18/2022] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
Concerns are raised over the risk to digestive system's tumors from the N-nitrosamines (NAs) exposure in drinking water. Albeit considerable studies are conducted to explore the underlying mechanism responsible for NAs-induced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), the exact molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown, especially at the epigenetic regulation level. In this study, it is revealed that the urinary concentration of N-Nitrosodiethylamine is higher in high incidence area of ESCC, and the lncRNA-UCA1(UCA1) is significantly decreased in ESCC tissues. In vitro and in vivo experiments further show that UCA1 is involved in the malignant transformation of Het-1A cells and precancerous lesions of the rat esophagus induced by N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBzA). Functional gain and loss experiments verify UCA1 can affect the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ESCC cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, through binding to heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein F (hnRNP F) protein, UCA1 regulates alternative splicing of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2), which promotes the FGFR2IIIb isoform switching to FGFR2 IIIc isoform, and the latter activates epithelial-mesenchymal transition via PI3K-AKT signaling pathways impacting tumorigenesis. Therefore, NAs-mediated downregulation of UCA1 promotes ESCC progression through targeting hnRNP F/FGFR2/PI3k-AKT axis, which provides a new chemical carcinogenic target and establishes a previously unknown mechanism for NAs-induced ESCC.
