[PMID: 38341118 DOI: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2024.104290] [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: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), as gene expression modulators, are potential players in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) pathogenesis. We systematically explored current literature on lncRNA expression in ALL to identify lncRNAs consistently reported as differentially expressed (DE) either in ALL versus controls or between ALL subtypes. By comparing articles that provided global expression data for DE lncRNAs in the ETV6::RUNX1-positive ALL subtype, we identified four DE lncRNAs in three independent studies (two versus other subtypes and one versus controls), showing concordant expression of LINC01013, CRNDE and lnc-KLF7-1. Additionally, LINC01503 was consistently downregulated on ALL versus controls. Within RT-qPCR studies, twelve lncRNA were DE in more than one source. Thus, several lncRNAs were supported as DE in ALL by multiple sources, highlighting their potential role as candidate biomarkers or therapeutic targets. Finally, as lncRNA annotation is rapidly expanding, standardization of reporting and nomenclature is urgently needed to improve data verifiability and compilation.

Abstract
RNA therapeutics (RNATx) aim to treat diseases, including cancer, by targeting or employing RNA molecules for therapeutic purposes. Amongst the most promising targets are long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which regulate oncogenic molecular networks in a cell type-restricted manner. lncRNAs are distinct from protein-coding genes in important ways that increase their therapeutic potential yet also present hurdles to conventional clinical development. Advances in genome editing, oligonucleotide chemistry, multi-omics and RNA engineering are paving the way for efficient and cost-effective lncRNA-focused drug discovery pipelines. In this Review, we present the emerging field of lncRNA therapeutics for oncology, with emphasis on the unique strengths and challenges of lncRNAs within the broader RNATx framework. We outline the necessary steps for lncRNA therapeutics to deliver effective, durable, tolerable and personalized treatments for cancer.

Novel lncRNAs LINC01221, RP11-472G21.2 and CRNDE are markers of differential expression in pediatric patients with T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Cancer Cell Int 2024; 24:65. [PMID: 38336706 PMCID: PMC10858595 DOI: 10.1186/s12935-024-03255-y] [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: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) poses significant challenges due to its aggressive nature and resistance to standard treatments. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in leukemia. This study aims to characterize the lncRNA landscape in pediatric T-ALL, identify specific lncRNAs signatures, and assess their clinical relevance. METHODS RNA sequencing was performed on T-ALL patient and control samples. Differential expression analysis identified dysregulated lncRNAs and mRNAs. Functional enrichment analysis revealed potential roles of these lncRNAs in cancer pathogenesis. Validation of candidate lncRNAs was conducted using real-time PCR. Clinical correlations were assessed, including associations with patients' clinical characteristics and survival outcomes. RESULTS Analysis identified 674 dysregulated lncRNAs in pediatric T-ALL, with LINC01221 and CRNDE showing the most interactions in cancer progression pathways. Functional enrichment indicated involvement in apoptosis, survival, proliferation, and metastasis. Top 10 lncRNAs based on adjusted p value < 0.05 and Fold Change > 2 were selected for validation. Seven lncRNAs LINC01221, PCAT18, LINC00977, RP11-620J15.3, RP11-472G21.2, CTD-2291D10.4, and CRNDE showed correlation with RNA sequencing data. RP11-472G21.2 and CTD-2291D10.4 were highly expressed in T-ALL patients, with RP11-620J15.3 correlating significantly with better overall survival (p = 0.0007) at a median follow up of 32 months. The identified lncRNAs were further analysed in B-ALL patients. Distinct lncRNAs signatures were noted, distinguishing T-ALL from B-ALL and healthy controls, with lineage-specific overexpression of LINC01221 (p < 0.0001), RP11-472G21.2 (p < 0.001) and CRNDE (p = 0.04) in T-ALL. CONCLUSION This study provides insights into the lncRNA landscape of pediatric T-ALL, offering potential diagnostic and prognostic markers. RP11-620J15.3 emerges as a promising prognostic marker, and distinct lncRNAs signatures may aid in the differentiation of T-ALL subtypes. Further research with larger cohorts is warranted to validate these findings and advance personalized treatment strategies for pediatric T-ALL patients.

Abstract
Leukemia is a group of highly heterogeneous and life-threatening blood cancers that originate from abnormal hematopoietic stem cells. Multiple treatments are approved for leukemia, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy. Unfortunately, therapeutic resistance occurs in a substantial proportion of patients and greatly compromises the treatment efficacy of leukemia, resulting in relapse and mortality. The abnormal activity of receptor tyrosine kinases, cell membrane transporters, intracellular signal transducers, transcription factors, and anti-apoptotic proteins have been shown to contribute to the emergence of therapeutic resistance. Despite these findings, the exact mechanisms of treatment resistance are still not fully understood, which limits the development of effective measures to overcome it. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a class of regulatory molecules that are gaining increasing attention, and lncRNA-mediated regulation of therapeutic resistance against multiple drugs for leukemia is being revealed. These dysregulated lncRNAs not only serve as potential targets to reduce resistance but also might improve treatment response prediction and individualized treatment decision. Here, we summarize the recent findings on lncRNA-mediated regulation of therapeutic resistance in leukemia and discuss future perspectives on how to make use of the dysregulated lncRNAs in leukemia to improve treatment outcome.

Abstract
Leukemia is a heterogenous group of hematological malignancies categorized in four main types (acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Several cytogenetic and molecular markers have become a part of routine analysis for leukemia patients. These markers have been used in diagnosis, risk-stratification and targeted therapy application. Recent studies have indicated that numerous regulatory RNAs, such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), have a role in tumor initiation and progression. When it comes to leukemia, data for lncRNA involvement in its etiology, progression, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis is limited. The aim of this review is to summarize research data on lncRNAs in different types of leukemia, on their expression pattern, their role in leukemic transformation and disease progression. The usefulness of this information in the clinical setting, i.e., for diagnostic and prognostic purposes, will be emphasized. Finally, how particular lncRNAs could be used as potential targets for the application of targeted therapy will be considered.

Abstract
LncRNAs are associated with tumorigenesis of liver cancer. LncRNA Colorectal Neoplasia Differentially Expressed (CRNDE) was identified as an oncogenic lncRNA and involved in tumor growth and metastasis. The role of CRNDE in liver cancer was investigated. CRNDE was elevated in liver cancer cells. Knockdown of CRNDE decreased cell viability and inhibited proliferation of liver cancer. Moreover, knockdown of CRNDE reduced levels of extracellular acidification rate, glucose consumption, and lactate production to repress glycolysis of liver cancer. Silence of CRNDE enhanced the expression of miR-142 and reduced enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α). Over-expression of HIF-1α attenuated CRNDE silence-induced decrease of glucose consumption and lactate production. Injection with sh-CRNDE virus reduced in vivo tumor growth of liver cancer through up-regulation of miR-142 and down-regulation of EZH2 and HIF-1α. In conclusion, knockdown of CRNDE suppressed cell proliferation, glycolysis, and tumor growth of liver cancer through EZH2/miR-142/HIF-1α.

Abstract
Colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE) is an oncogenic long noncoding RNA (lncRNA). Increased CRNDE expression was initially discovered in colorectal cancer and then in a variety of solid tumors and hematological malignancies. CRNDE participates in multiple biological processes, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis. CRNDE has been shown to modulate target gene expression through multiple mechanisms, including transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional regulation, and competition for microRNA (miRNA) binding. In this review, we summarize the evidence that supports CRNDE in the diagnosis and prognosis predicting of cancers. The functional roles and molecular mechanisms of CRNDE are further described for major types of solid tumors and hematological malignancies. The therapeutic potential of CRNDE as a target for research and development is also discussed.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that mainly affects premature newborns. Many different factors, increasingly genetic, are involved in the pathogenesis of BPD. The aim of the study is to investigate the possible influence of fibronectin SNP on the occurrence of BPD. The study included 108 infants born between 24 and 32 weeks of gestation. BPD was diagnosed based on the National Institutes of Health Consensus definition. The 5 FN1 gene polymorphisms assessed in the study were the following: rs3796123; rs1968510; rs10202709; rs6725958; and rs35343655. BPD developed in 30 (27.8%) out of the 108 preterm infants. Incidence of BPD was higher in infants with lower APGAR scores and low birthweight. Investigation did not confirm any significant prevalence for BPD development in any genotypes and alleles of FN1. Further studies should be performed to confirm the role of genetic factors in etiology and pathogenesis of BPD.

Abstract
Background Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are two common malignant disorders in leukemia. Although potent drugs are emerging, CML and AML may still relapse after the drug treatment is stopped. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and lncRNAs play certain roles in the occurrence and development of tumors, but m6A-modified LncRNAs in ML remain to be further investigated. Methods In this study, we extracted and analyzed the TCGA gene expression profile of 151 ML patients and the clinical data. On this basis, we then evaluated the immune infiltration capacity of ML and LASSO-penalized Cox analysis was applied to construct the prognostic model based on m6A related lncRNAs to verify the prognostic risk in clinical features of ML. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR was used to detect the expression level of LncRNA in in ML cell lines K562, MOLM13 and acute monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1. Results We found 70 m6A-related lncRNAs that were related to prognosis, and speculated that the content of stromal cells and immune cells would correlate with the survival of patients with ML. Next, Prognostic risk model of m6A-related lncRNAs was validated to have excellent consistency in clinical features of ML. Finally, we verified the expression levels of CRNDE, CHROMR and NARF-IT1 in ML cell lines K562, MOLM13 and acute monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1, which were significant. Conclusions The research provides clues for the prognosis prediction of ML patients by using the m6A-related lncRNAs model we have created, and clarifies the accuracy and authenticity of it.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Advancements in the next-generation sequencing technologies have identified rare transcripts of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the genome of cancers, including in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The purpose of this review is to highlight the contribution of lncRNAs in AML pathogenesis, prognosis, and chemoresistance. RECENT FINDINGS Several studies have recently reported that deregulated lncRNAs are novel key players in the development of AML and are associated with AML pathophysiology and may serve as prognostic indicators. A few aberrantly expressed lncRNAs that correlated with the recurrent genetic mutations in AML such as NPM1 and RUNX1 have recently been characterized. Moreover, a few lncRNAs in MLL-rearranged leukemia have been described. Additionally, the involvement of lncRNAs in AML chemoresistance has been postulated. SUMMARY Investigating the functional roles of the noncoding regions including lncRNAs, may provide novel insights into the pathophysiology, refine the prognostic schema, and provide novel therapeutic treatment strategies in AML.
