[PMID: 39316662 PMCID: PMC11423533 DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2024.2407525] [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: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 08/28/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/26/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by lipid accumulation, inflammation and apoptosis of the arterial wall. This study evaluated the effects of lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) on endothelial cells activation and autophagy in AS. METHODS qRT-PCR and Western blotting were done to verify the expression of ICAM1, GPR55 and SOD2. RNA-Seq was performed and screened for the different expressions of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), combining bioinformatics analysis to elucidate the mechanism by which lncRNA functions. RESULTS qRT-PCR and Western blotting results showed that LPI increased GPR55 and ICAM1 expression. RNA-Seq analysis and qRT-PCR results showed that LPI increased the expression of LINC01235, LINC00520 and LINC01963; LINC01235 was the most obvious. Mechanistically, bioinformatic analysis demonstrated that LINC01235 inhibited autophagy through sponging miR-224-3p. And miRNA-224-3p targeted RABEP1. CONCLUSIONS LPI promoted endothelial cell activation. LPI induced the expression of LINC01235 and LINC01235 inhibited autophagy through miR-224-3p/RABEP1. Collectively, this study first reveals the function of LINC01235, which may serve as a potential therapeutic target in AS.

Comb Chem High Throughput Screen 2024; 27:1523-1532. [PMID: 37818575 DOI: 10.2174/0113862073265220231004071645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension damages endothelial cells, causing vascular remodelling. It is caused by Ang II-induced endothelial cell (EC) destruction. The long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs) are emerging regulators of endothelium homeostasis. Injured endothelium expresses lncRNA taurine-upregulated gene 1 (TUG1), which may mediate endothelial cell damage, proliferation, apoptosis, and autophagy and contribute to cardiovascular disease. However, uncertainty surrounds the function of lncRNA TUG1, on arterial endothelium cell damage. OBJECTIVE This research aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of lncRNA TUG1 in vascular endothelial cell injury. METHOD A microarray analysis of lncRNA human gene expression was used to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) cultures. The viability, apoptosis, and migration of Ang II-treated HUVECs were then evaluated. In order to investigate the role of lncRNA TUG1 in hypertension, qRT-PCR, western blotting, and RNA-FISH were used to examine the expression of TUG1 in SHR mice. RESULTS Ang II-activated HUVECs and SHR rats' abdominal aortas highly express the lncRNA TUG1. LncRNA TUG1 knockdown in HUVECs could increase cell viability, reduce apoptosis, and produce inflammatory factors. In SHR rat abdominal aortas, lncRNA TUG1 knockdown promoted proliferation and inhibited apoptosis. HE spotting showed that lncRNA TUG1 knockdown improved SHR rats' abdominal aorta shape. lncRNA TUG1 knockdown promotes miR-9- 5p, which inhibits CXCR4 following transcription. The lncRNA TUG1/miR-9-5p/CXCR4 axis and vascular cell injury were also examined. MiR-9-5p silencing or CXCR4 overexpression lowered cell survival, apoptosis, and lncRNA TUG1-induced IL-6 and NO expression. CONCLUSION lncRNA TUG1 suppression could reduce Ang II-induced endothelial cell damage by regulating and targeting miR-9-5p to limit CXCR4 expression and open new vascular disease research pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a life-threatening disease with a limited effectiveness and the potential mechanism remains unclear. LncRNA NEAT-2 is reported to be involved in the regulation of cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to investigate the function of NEAT-2 in sepsis. METHODS We built sepsis animal model with Male Balb/C mice induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). A total of 54 mice were randomly assigned into eight groups: sham operation group (n = 18), CLP group (n = 18), CLP plus si-control group (n = 3), CLP plus si-NEAT2 group (n = 3), CLP plus mimic control group (n = 3), CLP plus miR-320 group (n = 3), CLP plus normal saline group (n = 3), and normal control group (n = 3). The number of peripheral endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), the expression level of NEAT-2 and miR-320 were detected during progression of sepsis, as well as the number of peripheral EPCs and level of TNF-α, IL-6, VEGF, ALT, AST and Cr. In addition, the function of EPCs was evaluated after NEAT-2 knockdown and miR-320 overexpression in vitro. RESULTS The number of circulating EPCs increased significantly in sepsis. NEAT-2 expression was significantly increased in the progress of sepsis, accompanied with miR-320 downregulated. NEAT-2 knockdown and miR-320 overexpression attenuated hepatorenal function and increased cytokines in sepsis. Moreover, NEAT-2 knockdown and miR-320 overexpression decreased the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of endothelial progenitor cells in vitro. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA-NEAT2 regulated the number and function of endothelial progenitor cells via miR-320 in sepsis, which may contribute to the development of novel potential clinical therapy for sepsis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plays a crucial role in the process of immune-mediated diseases. However, the defined involvement of lncRNA on Behçet's disease (BD) is not well known. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of lncRNA-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on BD susceptibility in Chinese populations. METHODS A two-stage case-control association study was conducted in a cohort of 1152 BD individuals and 1152 healthy controls. Genotyping was performed by a MassARRAY System. Quantified expression of the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA molecular axis was detected by real-time PCR and western blot. The cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay. RESULTS Two-stage association analysis showed a significantly decreased frequency of A allele of SNP rs7130280 in BD patients compared with healthy controls [OR 0.72 (95% CI 0.64, 0.81), Pc = 1.15 × 10-6]. Functionally, SNP rs7130280 could influence the secondary structure and relative expression of NONHSAT159216.1 in human THP-1/U937 macrophages and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy volunteers. In vitro, overexpression of the rs7130280 A allele also suppressed cell proliferation. Mechanistically, rs7130280 A allele could inhibit the expression of miR-6778-5p, thus enhancing its downstream molecular RPS6KA4/IL10 in a competing endogenous RNA sponge manner. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that NONHSAT159216.1 rs7130280 G>A might be associated with a low risk of BD and participates in a potential lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is an important pathological basis of coronary heart disease, and the antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) is located in the genetically susceptible segment with the strongest correlation with it - the short arm 2 region 1 of chromosome 9 (Chr9p21). ANRIL can produce linear, circular and other transcripts through different transcriptional splicing methods, which can regulate the proliferation and apoptosis of related cells and closely related to the development of atherosclerotic plaques. Linear ANRIL can regulate proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in plaques by chromatin modification, as well as affecting on proliferation and the apoptosis of macrophages at the transcriptional level; circular ANRIL can affect on proliferation and apoptosis of VSMCs by chromatin modification as well as interfering with rRNA maturation. In this review we describe the evolutionary characteristics of ANRIL, the formation and structure of transcripts, and the mechanism by which each transcript regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of vascular cells and then participates in atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, a silent chronic vascular pathology, is the cause of the majority of cardiovascular ischaemic events. Atherosclerosis is characterized by a series of deleterious changes in cellularity, including endothelial dysfunction, transmigration of circulating inflammatory cells into the arterial wall, pro-inflammatory cytokines production, lipid accumulation in the intima, vascular local inflammatory response, atherosclerosis-related cells apoptosis and autophagy. Proteins of Annexin A (AnxA) family, the well-known Ca2+ phospholipid-binding protein, have many functions in regulating inflammation-related enzymes and cell signaling transduction, thus influencing cell adhesion, migration, differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. There is now accumulating evidence that some members of the AnxA family, such as AnxA1, AnxA2, AnxA5 and AnxA7, play major roles in the development of atherosclerosis. This article discusses the major roles of AnxA1, AnxA2, AnxA5 and AnxA7, and the multifaceted mechanisms of the main biological process in which they are involved in atherosclerosis. Considering these evidences, it has been proposed that AnxA are drivers- and not merely participator- on the road to atherosclerosis, thus the progression of atherosclerosis may be prevented by targeting the expression or function of the AnxA family proteins.

Abstract
The clinical heterogeneity of heart failure has challenged our understanding of the underlying genetic mechanisms of this disease. In this respect, large-scale patient DNA sequencing studies have become an invaluable strategy for identifying potential genetic contributing factors. The complex aetiology of heart failure, however, also means that in vivo models are vital to understand the links between genetic perturbations and functional impacts as part of the process for validating potential new drug targets. Traditional approaches (e.g., genetically-modified mice) are optimal for assessing small numbers of genes, but less practical when multiple genes are identified. The zebrafish, in contrast, offers great potential for higher throughput in vivo gene functional assessment to aid target prioritisation, by providing more confidence in target relevance and facilitating gene selection for definitive loss of function studies undertaken in mice. Here we used whole-exome sequencing and bioinformatics on human patient data to identify 3 genes (API5, HSPB7, and LMO2) suggestively associated with heart failure that were also predicted to play a broader role in disease aetiology. The role of these genes in cardiovascular system development and function was then further investigated using in vivo CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene mutation analysis in zebrafish. We observed multiple impacts in F0 knockout zebrafish embryos (crispants) following effective somatic mutation, including changes in ventricle size, pericardial oedema, and chamber malformation. In the case of lmo2, there was also a significant impact on cardiovascular function as well as an expected reduction in erythropoiesis. The data generated from both the human in silico and zebrafish in vivo assessments undertaken supports further investigation of the potential roles of API5, HSPB7, and LMO2 in human cardiovascular disease. The data presented also supports the use of human in silico genetic variant analysis, in combination with zebrafish crispant phenotyping, as a powerful approach for assessing gene function as part of an integrated multi-level drug target validation strategy.

Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:405. [PMID: 35468884 PMCID: PMC9038730 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-022-04804-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2021] [Revised: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Inappropriate expression of DUX4, a transcription factor that induces cell death at high levels of expression and impairs myoblast differentiation at low levels of expression, leads to the development of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), however, the pathological mechanisms downstream of DUX4 responsible for muscle loss are poorly defined. We performed a screen of 1972 miR inhibitors for their ability to interfere with DUX4-induced cell death of human immortalized myoblasts. The most potent hit identified by the screen, miR-3202, is known to target the antiapoptotic protein FAIM2. Inhibition of miR-3202 led to the upregulation of FAIM2, and remarkably, expression of DUX4 led to reduced cellular levels of FAIM2. We show that the E3 ubiquitin ligase and DUX4 target gene, TRIM21, is responsible for FAIM2 degradation downstream of DUX4. Human myoblasts overexpressing FAIM2 showed increased resistance to DUX4-induced cell death, whereas in wild-type cells FAIM2 knockdown resulted in increased apoptosis and failure to differentiate into myotubes. The necessity of FAIM2 for myogenic differentiation of WT cells led us to test the effect of FAIM2 overexpression on the impairment of myogenesis by DUX4. Strikingly, FAIM2 overexpression rescued the myogenic differentiation defect caused by low-level expression of DUX4. These data implicate FAIM2 levels, modulated by DUX4 through TRIM21, as an important factor mediating the pathogenicity of DUX4, both in terms of cell viability and myogenic differentiation, and thereby open a new avenue of investigation towards drug targets in FSHD. ![]()

Characterization of XR_311113.2 as a MicroRNA Sponge for Pre-ovulatory Ovarian Follicles of Goats via Long Noncoding RNA Profile and Bioinformatics Analysis. Front Genet 2022; 12:760416. [PMID: 35046999 PMCID: PMC8762113 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.760416] [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: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were identified recently as a large class of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) with a length ≥200 base pairs (bp). The function and mechanism of lncRNAs have been reported in a growing number of species and tissues. In contrast, the regulatory mechanism of lncRNAs in the goat reproductive system has rarely been reported. In the present study, we sequenced and analyzed the lncRNAs using bioinformatics to identify their expression profiles. As a result, 895 lncRNAs were predicted in the pre-ovulatory ovarian follicles of goats. Eighty-eight lncRNAs were differentially expressed in the Macheng black goat when compared with Boer goat. In addition, the lncRNA XR_311113.2 acted as a sponge of chi-miR-424-5p, as assessed via a luciferase activity assay. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that lncRNAs have potential effects in the ovarian follicles of goats and may represent a promising new research field to understand follicular development.

Association of lncRNA LINC01173 Expression with Vitamin-D and Vitamin B12 Level Among Type 2 Diabetes Patients. Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2022; 15:2535-2543. [PMID: 36016630 PMCID: PMC9397532 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s369012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has risen to become the world's most serious public health problem in recent years, and the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the onset and progression of T2DM, as well as special attention to vitamins, has gotten a lot of attention recently. METHODS The aim of the study was to analyze lncRNA LINC01173 expression along with assessment of vitamin-D and B12 among the T2DM cases. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to analyze the expression of lncRNA LINC01173. Vitamin-D and B12 were analyzed by chemiluminescence-based assay. RESULTS The present study observed that the T2DM cases had 6.67-fold increased lncRNA LINC01173 expression compared to healthy controls. Expression of lncRNA LINC01173 was found to be associated with hypertension (p=0.03), wound healing (p=0.04), and blurred vision (p<0.0001). It was observed that the T2DM cases with vitamin-D deficiency had a significant association with fasting glucose level (p=0.01) and HbA1C level (p=0.01) among the T2DM cases. The association of lncRNA LINC01173 with vitamin-D was analyzed and it was observed that the vitamin-D deficient cases had higher lncRNA LINC01173 expression compared to insufficient T2DM cases (p=0.01) and sufficient T2DM cases (p=0.0006). It was also observed that the T2DM cases with smoking had a 8.33-fold lncRNA LINC01173 expression while non-smokers had a 5.43-fold lncRNA LINC01173 expression (p<0.0001). CONCLUSION The study concluded that the increased lncRNA LINC01173 expression was observed to be linked with alteration in vitamin-D level and smoking habit. Altered expression of lncRNA LINC01173 expression was linked with fasting glucose and HbA1C alteration. Collectively, lncRNA LINC01173 expression, vitamin-D alteration, as well as smoking habit may cause the disease severity and increase the pathogenesis of disease.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are the novel class of transcripts involved in transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and post-translational regulation of physiology and the pathology of diseases. Studies have evidenced that the impairment of endothelium is a critical event in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and its complications. Endothelial dysfunction is characterized by an imbalance in vasodilation and vasoconstriction, oxidative stress, proinflammatory factors, and nitric oxide bioavailability. Disruption of the endothelial barrier permeability, the first step in developing atherosclerotic lesions is a consequence of endothelial dysfunction. Though several factors interfere with the normal functioning of the endothelium, intrinsic epigenetic mechanisms governing endothelial function are regulated by lncRNAs and perturbations contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease. This review comprehensively addresses the biogenesis of lncRNA and molecular mechanisms underlying and regulation in endothelial function. An insight correlating lncRNAs and endothelial dysfunction-associated diseases can positively impact the development of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets in endothelial dysfunction-associated diseases and treatment strategies.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, lowering the quality of life among women worldwide. Autophagy plays dual roles in these malignancies. To search for prognostic markers for endometrial cancer, we mined The Cancer Genome Atlas and the Human Autophagy Database for information on endometrial cancer and autophagy-related genes and identified five autophagy-related long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) (LINC01871, SCARNA9, SOS1-IT1, AL161618.1, and FIRRE). Based on these autophagy-related lncRNAs, samples were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups. Survival analysis showed that the survival rate of the high-risk group was significantly lower than that of the low-risk group. Univariate and multivariate independent prognostic analyses showed that patients' age, pathological grade, and FIGO stage were all risk factors for poor prognosis. A clinical correlation analysis of the relationship between the five autophagy-related lncRNAs and patients' age, pathological grade, and FIGO stage was also per https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7090-1750 formed. Histopathological assessment of the tumor microenvironment showed that the ESTIMATE, immune, and stromal scores in the high-risk group were lower than those in the low-risk group. Principal component analysis and functional annotation were performed to confirm the correlations. To further evaluate the effect of the model constructed on prognosis, samples were divided into training (60%) and validation (40%) groups, regarding the risk status as an independent prognostic risk factor. A prognostic nomogram was constructed using patients' age, pathological grade, FIGO stage, and risk status to estimate the patients' survival rate. C-index and multi-index ROC curves were generated to verify the stability and accuracy of the nomogram. From this analysis, we concluded that the five lncRNAs identified in this study could affect the incidence and development of endometrial cancer by regulating the autophagy process. Therefore, these molecules may have the potential to serve as novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the primary culprit of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Also, atherogenesis and the development of atherosclerosis involve endothelial cells, monocytes/macrophages, smooth myocytes, and others. Increasingly, studies have found that non-coding RNA (ncRNA) which can regulate apoptosis, pyroptosis, autophagy, proliferation, and monocyte migration participates in atherogenesis and progress of atherosclerosis by the above. The ncRNA networks may be essential in regulating the complicated process of atherosclerosis. Accordingly, this review delves into the regulatory roles of ncRNA, which were introduced previously. The answer above is particularly crucial to explain further the regulatory mechanism of ncRNA in cardiovascular disorders. Furthermore, we discuss the possibility and related research of ncRNAs as a biomarker and therapeutic target for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Considering the significance of lncRNA/miRNA axis in explaining atherosclerosis (AS) progression, this investigation was intended to clarify whether lncRNAs XIST/SNHG5 would regulate AS aetiology by sponging miR‐155, an AS‐promoting molecule. We altogether recruited 367 patients who were examined by coronary angiography, and meanwhile, human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) were purchased to establish cells models via ox‐LDL treatment. The study results indicated that lowly expressed XIST/SNHG5 and highly expressed miR‐155 were frequently detectable among AS patients who showed severe stenosis and possessed high triglyceride (TG), low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) and high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP) levels. Besides, HCAECs treated by ox‐LDL released large amounts of inflammatory cytokines, and their apoptosis rate was also raised. Moreover, expressions of XIST and SNHG5 declined markedly within ox‐LDL‐treated HCAECs, whereas miR‐155 expression significantly ascended. Transfection of pcDNA‐XIST and pcDNA‐SNHG5 both reduced the expression of TNF‐α, IL‐6, IL‐8 and IL‐1β within HCAECs and also dampened the apoptotic tendency of HCAECs. Co‐treatment of pcDNA‐XIST and pcDNA‐SNHG5 produced a larger effect on HCAEC activity than pcDNA‐XIST or pcDNA‐SNHG5 alone. Furthermore, miR‐155, modified by XIST and SNHG5, was capable of reversing the impacts of XIST and SNHG5 on HCAEC activity. Eventually, CARHSP1 was activated by XIST and SNHG5, and its overexpression dwindled impacts of miR‐155 mimic on proliferation and inflammation response of HCAECs. In conclusion, targeting XIST and SNHG5 might be an ideal alternative in delaying AS progression, allowing for their repression of downstream miR‐155.

Abstract
Background: The eosinophilic inflammation plays a critical role in myocarditis (Mcd); its underlying mechanism remains to be further elucidated. This study aims to investigate the role of Bcl2-like protein 12 (Bcl2L12) in inducing the defects of apoptosis in eosinophils (Eos) of the heart tissues. Methods: Human explant heart samples were collected. Eosinophilia and myocarditis (Mcd)-like inflammation were induced in the mouse heart by immunizing with murine cardiac α-myosin heavy chain (MyHCα) peptides. Results: Markedly more Eos were observed in heart tissues from patients with Mcd than those from patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Eos isolated from Mcd hearts showed the signs of apoptosis defects. The Eo counts in the Mcd heart tissues were positively correlated with the Bcl2L12 expression in Eos isolated from the heart tissues. Exposure to interleukin 5 in the culture induced the expression of Bcl2L12 in Eos. Bcl2L12 bound c-Myc, the transcription factor of Fas ligand (FasL), to prevent c-Myc from binding to the FasL promoter, to restrict the FasL gene transcription in Eos. Inhibition of Bcl2L12 prevented the induction of eosinophilia and Mcd-like inflammation in the mouse heart. Conclusions: The Bcl2L12 expression contributes to apoptosis defects in Eos of the Mcd heart. Blocking Bcl2L12 prevents the eosinophilia induction and alleviates Mcd-like inflammation in mice.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are a main cause of mortality whose prevalence continues to increase worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate a variety of biological processes by modifying and regulating transcription of coding genes, directly binding to proteins and even coding proteins themselves. LncRNAs play key roles in the occurrence and development of myocardial infarction, heart failure, myocardial hypertrophy, arrhythmias and other pathological processes that significantly affect the prognosis and survival of patients with cardiovascular diseases. We here review the latest research on lncRNAs in cardiovascular diseases as a basis to formulate future research on prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Purpose of Review To summarize recent insights into long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in atherosclerosis. Because atherosclerosis is the main underlying pathology of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the world’s deadliest disease, finding novel therapeutic strategies is of high interest. Recent Findings LncRNAs can bind to proteins, DNA, and RNA regulating disease initiation and plaque growth as well as plaque stability in different cell types such as endothelial cells (ECs), vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and macrophages. A number of lncRNAs have been implicated in cholesterol homeostasis and foam cell formation such as LASER, LeXis, and CHROME. Among others, MANTIS, lncRNA-CCL2, and MALAT1 were shown to be involved in vascular inflammation. Further regulations include, but are not limited to, DNA damage response in ECs, phenotypic switch of VSMCs, and various cell death mechanisms. Interestingly, some lncRNAs are closely correlated with response to statin treatment, such as NEXN-AS1 or LASER. Additionally, some lncRNAs may serve as CVD biomarkers. Summary LncRNAs are a potential novel therapeutic target to treat CVD, but research of lncRNA in atherosclerosis is still in its infancy. With increasing knowledge of the complex and diverse regulations of lncRNAs in the heterogeneous environment of atherosclerotic plaques, lncRNAs hold promise for their clinical translation in the near future.

Abstract
Due to the increasing prevalence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and its complications, there is an urgent need to identify novel methods for predicting the occurrence and understanding the pathogenetic mechanisms of the disease. Accumulated data have demonstrated the potential of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), as biomarkers in establishing diagnosis and predicting prognosis of numerous diseases. Yet, little is known about the expression patterns and regulatory roles of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of T1DM and whether they can be used as diagnostic biomarkers for the disease. To further explore these questions, in the present study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the expression patterns of lncRNAs between 20 T1DM patients and 42 health controls by retrospectively analyzing a published microarray data set. Our results indicate that, compared with healthy controls, diabetic patients had altered levels of lncRNAs. Then, we used three time cross-validation strategy and support vector machine to propose a specific 26-lncRNA signature (termed 26LncSigT1DM). This 26LncSigT1DM signature can be used to effectively distinguish between healthy and diabetic individuals (area under the curve = 0.825) of a validation cohort. After the 26LncSigT1DM was prospectively validated, we used Pearson correlation to identify 915 mRNAs, whose expression levels were positively correlated with those of the 26 lncRNAs. According to their Gene Ontology annotations, these mRNAs participate in processes including cellular response to stimulus, cell communication, multicellular organismal process, and cell motility. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis demonstrated that the genes encoding the 915 mRNAs may be associated with the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, transforming growth factor β signaling pathway, and mineral absorption, suggesting that the deregulation of these lncRNAs may mediate inflammatory abnormalities and immune dysfunctions, which jointly promote the pathogenesis of T1DM. Thus, our study identifies a novel diagnostic tool and may shed more light on the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of T1DM.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) play crucial roles in early gonadal development and germ cell maturation of mammals; FGF9 is involved in mammalian testis steroidogenesis. However, the upstream regulators of FGF9 in ovine testosterone biosynthesis remain unknown. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial regulators of multiple biological functions that act by altering gene expression. In the present study, we analysed the role of LOC105611671, a lncRNA upstream of FGF9, in Hu sheep steroidogenesis. We found that LOC105611671 expression increased significantly in Hu sheep testes during sexual maturation (P<0.05). Moreover, levels of FGF9 and testosterone were decreased by LOC105611671 knockdown in Hu sheep Leydig cells (LCs). Results of transient transfection and luciferase assays revealed that FGF9 is a functional target gene of oar-miR-26a in ovine LCs. Further functional validation experiments revealed that LOC105611671 regulates testosterone biosynthesis by targeting oar-miR-26a. Overall, the present study describes the expression profile of LOC105611671 during sexual maturation and demonstrates that LOC105611671 modulates FGF9 expression by targeting oar-miR-26a to promote testis steroidogenesis in Hu sheep. Our research provides a new theoretical basis for genetic and molecular research on testosterone biosynthesis in sheep.

Abstract
Present throughout the vasculature, endothelial cells (ECs) are essential for blood vessel function and play a central role in the pathogenesis of diverse cardiovascular diseases. Understanding the intricate molecular determinants governing endothelial function and dysfunction is essential to develop novel clinical breakthroughs and improve knowledge. An increasing body of evidence demonstrates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are active regulators of the endothelial transcriptome and function, providing emerging insights into core questions surrounding EC contributions to pathology, and perhaps the emergence of novel therapeutic opportunities. In this review, we discuss this class of non-coding transcripts and their role in endothelial biology during cardiovascular development, homeostasis, and disease, highlighting challenges during discovery and characterization and how these have been overcome to date. We further discuss the translational therapeutic implications and the challenges within the field, highlighting lncRNA that support endothelial phenotypes prevalent in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
More evidence is emerging of the roles long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play as regulatory factors in a variety of biological processes, but the mechanisms underlying the function of lncRNAs in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have not been explicitly delineated. The present study identified the lncRNA 2810403D21Rik/AK007586/Mirf (myocardial infarction-regulatory factor), that inhibited macroautophagy/autophagy by modulating Mir26a (microRNA 26a). Inhibition of Mir26a led to cardiac injury both in vitro and in vivo, whereas overexpression of Mir26a attenuated ischemic stress-induced cell death by activating autophagy through targeting Usp15 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 15). More importantly, 2810403D21Rik/Mirf acted as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of Mir26a; forced expression of 2810403D21Rik/Mirf downregulated Mir26a to inhibit autophagy. In contrast, loss of 2810403D21Rik/Mirf resulted in upregulation of Mir26a to promote autophagy and alleviate cardiac injury, which in turn improved cardiac function in MI mice. This study identified a lncRNA 2810403D21Rik/Mirf that functions as an anti-autophagic molecule via ceRNA activity toward Mir26a. Our findings suggest that knockdown of 2810403D21Rik/Mirf might be a novel therapeutic approach for cardiac diseases associated with autophagy.

Abstract
Apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells (VEC) is the main form of vascular injury that is closely linked to numerous cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is important to find new factors that can suppress VEC apoptosis. By using long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) microarray analysis, we found a new read-through lncRNA, MROH7-TTC4, which acted as an apoptosis inhibitor in VECs. Furthermore, by using the inhibitor (ABO) of annexin A7 (ANXA7) GTPase, we discovered that ANXA7 translocated into nucleus and interacted with 5'→3' exoribonuclease (XRN2). The decreased XRN2 phosphorylation induced by ANXA7 GTPase activity inhibition, promoted MROH7-TTC4 expression. Moreover, T-cell intracellular antigen-1 (TIA1), a binding protein of MROH7-TTC4, processed it into MROH7 and TTC4 that could inhibit VEC apoptosis. Here, we conclude that inhibiting ANXA7 GTPase activity promotes the interaction of ANXA7 and XRN2 in nucleus, which regulates the read-through transcription of MROH7-TTC4, and TIA1 is responsible for the process of MROH7-TTC4 that inhibits apoptosis through MROH7 and TTC4.

Abstract
Rationale: Mast cells play a crucial role in allergic diseases. Yet, the regulation of mast cell bioactivities is not fully understood. This study aims to elucidate the role of B cell lymphoma 2 like protein 12 (Bcl2L12), one of the anti-apoptosis proteins, in regulating mast cell apoptosis. Methods: A food allergy (FA) mouse model was developed to establish mast cell over population in the intestinal tissue. Either compound 48/80 (C48/80) or specific antigens were used to activate mast cells in the intestinal mucosa. Results: After treating with C48/80, apoptosis was induced in mast cells of the intestine of naive control mice, but not in FA mice. The expression of Fas ligand (FasL) was lower in the mast cells of FA mice. Interleukin (IL)-5 was responsible for the suppression of FasL by upregulating the expression of Bcl2L12 in mast cells. Bcl2L12 prevented c-Myc, the major transcription factor of FasL, from binding the FasL promoter to inhibit the expression of FasL in mast cells. Inhibition of Bcl2L12 restored the apoptosis machinery of mast cells in the FA mouse intestine. Conclusions: The apoptosis machinery in mast cells is impaired in an allergic environment. Inhibition of Bcl2L12 restores the apoptosis machinery in mast cells in the FA mouse intestine.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) has been revealed to promote human periodontal ligament stem cell (PDLSC) proliferation. The abnormal proliferation of PDLSCs has also been associated with the pathogenesis of periodontitis. The long non-coding RNA, metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), has been demonstrated to regulate FGF2 secretion. Therefore, MALAT1 may also be associated with periodontitis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of MALAT1 overexpression on the proliferation of PDLSCs. In the current study, PDLSCs derived from healthy and periodontitis-affected teeth were collected. MALAT1 and FGF2 mRNA expression in PDLSCs was detected using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. PDLSCs overexpressing MALAT1 were subsequently generated. PDLSC proliferation was analyzed using a Cell Counting kit-8 assay. FGF2 protein expression was detected using western blot analysis. The results revealed that MALAT1 and FGF2 mRNA were significantly upregulated in PDLSCs derived from periodontitis-affected teeth when compared with PDLSCs derived from healthy teeth. PDLSCs derived from periodontitis-affected teeth also demonstrated a significantly higher proliferation rate than PDLSCs derived from healthy teeth. MALAT1 and FGF2 mRNA expression were positively correlated in both PDLSC groups. MALAT1 overexpression promoted the proliferation of healthy and periodontitis-affected PDLSC groups and upregulated FGF2 protein expression. The present study concluded that MALAT1 overexpression promoted the proliferation of human PDLSC potentially via upregulating FGF2.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is predicted to be the primary cause of death in the world by 2020. Changes in atherosclerotic plaque composition will lead to acute coronary syndromes. Although the studies on the molecular mechanisms of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) are in-depth in molecular and cell levels, the in vivo research which studied the knowledge about lncRNAs in the regulation of plaque composition is still sparse. In this study, in order to investigate how a new lncRNA, CERNA1, regulates the composition of atherosclerotic plaques, we overexpressed CERNA1 in apolipoprotein E-/- (Apo E-/-) mice and analyzed the role of CERNA1 in atherosclerotic plaque stabilization. The results showed that CERNA1 inhibited the apoptosis of VSMCs and anti-inflammatory macrophages through increasing API5 level and further stabilized the atherosclerotic plaques. This discovery provided a novel therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the primary underlying cause of myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and peripheral artery disease. The disease preferentially occurs in arterial regions exposed to disturbed blood flow, in part, by altering expression of flow-sensitive coding- and non-coding genes. In this review, we summarize the role of noncoding RNAs, [microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs(lncRNAs)], as regulators of gene expression and outline their relationship to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. While miRNAs are small noncoding genes that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by targeting mRNA transcripts, the lncRNAs regulate gene expression by diverse mechanisms, which are still emerging and incompletely understood. We focused on multiple flow-sensitive miRNAs such as, miR-10a, -19a, -23b, -17~92, -21, -663, -92a, -143/145, -101, -126, -712, -205, and -155 that play a critical role in endothelial function and atherosclerosis by targeting inflammation, cell cycle, proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and nitric oxide signaling. Flow-dependent regulation of lncRNAs is just emerging, and their role in vascular dysfunction and atherosclerosis is unknown. Here, we discuss the flow-sensitive lncRNA STEEL along with other lncRNAs studied in the context of vascular pathophysiology and atherosclerosis such as MALAT1, MIAT1, ANRIL, MYOSLID, MEG3, SENCR, SMILR, LISPR1, and H19. Also discussed is the use of these noncoding RNAs as potential biomarkers and therapeutics to reduce and regress atherosclerosis.

Abstract
New perinatal care technologies have improved the survival rate of preterm neonates, but the prevalence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), one of the most intractable problems in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), remains unchanged. In present study, high-throughput sequencing (HTS) was performed to detect the expression profiles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), messenger RNAs (mRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs) in hyperoxia-induced BPD mouse model. Significant differentially expressed RNAs were selected and clustered between the BPD group and the control group. The results revealed that expressions of 1778 lncRNAs, 1240 mRNAs, 97 circRNAs, and 201 miRNAs were significantly altered in the BPD group. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were performed to predict the potential functions of differentially expressed RNAs. lncRNA-mRNA and circRNA-miRNA coexpression networks were constructed to detect their association with the pathogenesis of BPD. Our study provides a systematic perspective on the potential function of RNAs during BPD.

Abstract
Acute coronary syndrome caused by the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques is one of the primary causes of major cardiovascular events, and neovascularization within the plaque is closely associated with its stability. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs) is a type of noncoding RNA that serves a crucial role in regulating vascular endothelial cells (VECs). The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of lncRNA TCONS_00024652 on the proliferation and angiogenesis of VECs following stimulation with TNF-α. The expression of lncRNA and miRNA was measured in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Cell proliferation was measured using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Wound healing and tube formation assays were performed to determine cell migration and angiogenesis. Interactions between TCONS_00024652 and miR-21 were determined using bioinformatics and a dual-luciferase reporter assay. The results demonstrated that TCONS_00024652 is highly expressed in TNF-α-induced HUVECs. Functional assays demonstrated that the dysregulated expression of TCONS_00024652 promotes endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis, whereas TCONS_00024652 knockdown induces the opposite effects. Bioinformatics analysis using starBase predicted putative binding at the 3′-untranslated region of TCONS_00024652 and miR-21 and luciferase reporter assays further verified this interaction. The results of the present study suggest that the targeting of TCONS_00024652 by miR-21 may be a potential method of improving vascular endothelial dysfunction, neovascularization maturation and plaque stabilization.

Abstract
In recent years, the role of RNA has expanded to the extent that protein-coding RNAs are now the minority with a variety of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) now comprising the majority of RNAs in higher organisms. A major contributor to this shift in understanding is RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), which allows a largely unconstrained method for monitoring the status of RNA from whole organisms down to a single cell. This observational power presents both challenges and new opportunities, which require specialized bioinformatics tools to extract knowledge from the data and the ability to reuse data for multiple studies. In this review, we summarize the current status of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) research in endothelial biology. Then, we will cover computational methods for identifying, annotating, and characterizing lncRNAs in the heart, especially endothelial cells.

Abstract
Protein coding sequences account for around 3% of the human genome, the rest are noncoding RNA (ncRNA) including long ncRNA (lncRNA) and miRNA. Accumulating evidence indicates that lncRNAs and miRNAs are candidate biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of cardiovascular diseases. The lncRNAs act as sponge-like effects on numerous miRNAs, subsequently regulating miRNAs and their targets, mRNA functions. The role of lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA axis in pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases has been recently reported and highlighted. Herein, this review discusses emerging roles of lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA axis in cardiovascular pathophysiology and regulation, with a novel focus on cardioprotective network activities of the two subgroup ncRNAs.

Abstract
Accumulating studies indicate that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of diverse biological processes involved in homeostatic control of the vessel wall in health and disease. However, our knowledge of the mechanisms by which lncRNAs control gene expression and cell signaling pathways is still nascent. Furthermore, only a handful of lncRNAs has been functionally evaluated in response to pathophysiological stimuli or in vascular disease states. For example, lncRNAs may regulate endothelial dysfunction by modulating endothelial cell proliferation (e.g. MALAT1, H19) or angiogenesis (e.g. MEG3, MANTIS). LncRNAs have also been implicated in modulating vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypes or vascular remodeling (e.g. ANRIL, SMILR, SENCR, MYOSLID). Finally, emerging studies have implicated lncRNAs in leukocytes activation (e.g. lincRNA-Cox2, linc00305, THRIL), macrophage polarization (e.g. GAS5), and cholesterol metabolism (e.g. LeXis). This review summarizes recent findings on the expression, mechanism, and function of lncRNAs implicated in a range of vascular disease states from mice to human subjects. An improved understanding of lncRNAs in vascular disease may provide new pathophysiological insights and opportunities for the generation of a new class of RNA-based biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Diabetes leads to markedly accelerated rates of many associated macrovascular complications like hypertension and atherosclerosis, and microvascular complications like nephropathy and retinopathy. High glucose, the hallmark of diabetes, drives changes in vascular and inflammatory cells that promote the development of these complications. Understanding the molecular processes involved in the development of diabetes and its debilitating complications can lead to much needed newer clinical therapies. Recently, long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to be important in the biology of vascular cells and there is growing evidence that lncRNAs are also involved in the cell biology relevant to diabetic vascular complications. In this review, we provide an overview of lncRNAs that function in vascular cells, and those that have been linked to diabetic complications.

Abstract
Dysfunction of vascular endothelial cells (VECs), such as increased apoptosis and diminished migration, is closely connected with most cardiovascular diseases and angiogenesis-related events. LncRNAs have been involved in regulation of many pathological processes, but their roles in vascular endothelial function are hardly underreported. Here, we explore the role of a intergenic lncRNA named linc00152 in the apoptosis and migration of VECs. We found that linc00152 was downregulated in human umbilical vein VECs (HUVECs) in a dose- and time-dependent manner following treatment with oxLDL, which is a typical proinflammatory factor in the initiation and progression of vascular endothelial dysfunction. Gain- and loss-function experiments indicated that linc00152 distinctly inhibited apoptosis and improved migration in oxLDL-treated HUVECs. By sponging miR-4767, linc00152 positively regulated the expression of Bcl2L12 and EGFR proteins. Moreover, blocking miR-4767 rescued the decrease of Bcl2L12 and EGFR caused by linc00152 knockdown, as well as the changes in cell apoptosis and migration. Our findings propose a novel role of linc00152 in the improvement of vascular endothelial function and a potential target for the therapy of some cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide and the second most common cause of cancer-related mortalities. With a high potential for metastasis and recurrence, HCC is refractory to cure. The present study aimed to explore the role of a recent-discovered LncRNA, AB209630, in human HCC, in order to provide new insights useful for clinical HCC diagnosis and treatment. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to examine the expression of AB209630 in clinical HCC samples and the adjacent non-cancerous tissues. The reduced expression of AB209630 observed in HCC tissues and cultured HCC cells compared with normal hepatic tissues and cells prompted the construction of an AB209630-expressing plasmid with a CBP tag on the plasmid backbone. Cell proliferation and colony formation assays were conducted to detect the effects of AB209630 on HCC cell proliferation. In addition, Transwell assay and wound-healing assays were performed, the results of which further indicated that the overexpression of AB209630 inhibited the migration and invasion of HCC cells. These results revealed the inhibitory effects of AB209630 on HCC progression, and suggest the potential of AB209630 as an inhibitor of HCC for clinical use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) was one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies. The molecular mechanisms involved in the progression of CRC remain unclear. Accumulating evidences showed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) played key roles in tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and metastasis. Therefore, we aimed to explore the roles of lncRNAs in the progression of CRC. METHODS In this study, we aimed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in CRC by analyzing a cohort of previously published datasets: GSE64857. GO and KEGG pathway analyses were applied to give us insight in the functions of those lncRNAs and mRNAs in CRC. RESULTS Totally, 46 lncRNAs were identified as differentially expressed between stage II and stage III CRC for the first time screening by microarray. GO and KEGG pathway analyses showed that differentially expressed lncRNAs were involved in regulating signal transduction, cell adhesion, cell differentiation, focal adhesion, and cell adhesion molecules. CONCLUSIONS We found three lncRNAs (LOC100129973, PGM5-AS1, and TTTY10) widely co-expressed with differentially expressed mRNAs. We also constructed lncRNA-associated PPI in CRC and found that these lncRNAs may be associated with CRC progression. Moreover, we found that high PGM5-AS1 expression levels were associated with worse overall survival in CRC cancer. We believe that this study would provide novel potential therapeutic and prognostic targets for CRC.

Abstract
Numerous studies have demonstrated that a class of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are dysregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and they are closely related with tumorigenesis. Our previous studies indicated that LINC00052 was a downregulated lncRNA in HCC and acted as a tumor suppressor gene. Using transcription microarray analysis, we found that knockdown of LINC00052 resulted in EPB41L3 downregulation. However, the function of EPB41L3 and the mechanism of LINC00052 downregulating EPB41L3 in HCC remain unclear. In this study, we found that overexpression of LINC00052 could upregulate the EPB41L3 expression and it might serve as a tumor suppressor gene in HCC. Database analysis showed that miR-452-5P could target LINC00052. The binding regions between LINC00052 and miR-452-5P were confirmed by luciferase assays. Moreover, LINC00052 inhibited cell malignant behavior by increasing miR-452-5P expression, suggesting that LINC00052 was negatively regulated by miR-452-5P. In addition, overexpression of miR-452-5P resulted in a decrease of EPB41L3 expression, suggesting that EPB41L3 was as a target of miR-452-5P. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that a novel pathway was mediated by LINC00052 in HCC.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral vascular disease. Atherosclerosis is predicted to be the primary cause of death in the world by 2020. Increasing evidence suggests that long non-protein-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important for the regulation of tissue homeostasis and pathophysiological conditions. Although knowledge about lncRNAs in atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases is sparse, lncRNAs are clinically interesting because of their diagnostic and therapeutic value. This review summarizes knowledge about lncRNAs through their actions, related research methods and effects on atherosclerosis to provide helpful insights about how lncRNAs work and control atherosclerosis process and how lncRNA-related strategies could benefit human beings.

Abstract
Circulating long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve as valuable biomarkers in a number of human diseases. However, lncRNA biomarkers have yet to be identified in obesity. We aim to characterize circulating lncRNA expression in obese and non-obese human subjects. First, we assessed the genome-wide circulating lncRNA expression profiles in blood from 3 obese and 3 non-obese human subjects. We found a significant decrease in circulating levels of three lncRNAs (lncRNA-p5549, lncRNA-p21015 and lncRNA-p19461) in obese human subjects only. Next, using RT-PCR we measured the expression levels of these three lncRNAs in 33 obese and 33 non-obese human subjects and found similar differences. Moreover, we found a negative correlation between circulating levels of these three lncRNAs and body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist to hip ratio and fasting insulin. There was also a significant negative correlation between expression of lncRNA-p19461 and homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance. Finally, we tested the circulating levels of these three lncRNAs in 8 obese human subjects after a 12-week diet-induced weight loss program. We found that only lncRNA-p19461 expression level significantly increased. In summary, circulating lncRNAs are deregulated in obesity. Weight loss–induced changes in this profile support this observation and suggest a potential mechanistic relevance.
