[PMID: 38091883 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2023.155019] [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: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
The lncRNA PVT1 has emerged as a pivotal component in the intricate landscape of cancer pathogenesis, particularly in lung cancer. PVT1, situated in the 8q24 chromosomal region, has garnered attention for its aberrant expression patterns in lung cancer, correlating with tumor progression, metastasis, and poor prognosis. Numerous studies have unveiled the diverse mechanisms PVT1 contributes to lung cancer pathogenesis. It modulates critical pathways, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis evasion, angiogenesis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. PVT1's interactions with other molecules, including microRNAs and proteins, amplify its oncogenic influence. Recent advancements in genomic and epigenetic analyses have also illuminated the intricate regulatory networks that govern PVT1 expression. Understanding PVT1's complex involvement in lung cancer holds substantial clinical implications. Targeting PVT1 presents a promising avenue for developing novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic interventions. This abstract encapsulates the expanding knowledge regarding the oncogenic role of PVT1 in lung cancer, underscoring the significance of further research to unravel its complete mechanistic landscape and exploit its potential for improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent and chronic cardiovascular disorder associated with various pathophysiological alterations, including atrial electrical and structural remodeling, disrupted calcium handling, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, aberrant energy metabolism, and immune dysregulation. Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in the pathogenesis of AF. OBJECTIVE This discussion aims to elucidate the involvement of AF-related lncRNAs, with a specific focus on their role as miRNA sponges that modulate crucial signaling pathways, contributing to the progression of AF. We also address current limitations in AF-related lncRNA research and explore potential future directions in this field. Additionally, we summarize feasible strategies and promising delivery systems for targeting lncRNAs in AF therapy. CONCLUSION In conclusion, targeting AF-related lncRNAs holds substantial promise for future investigations and represents a potential therapeutic avenue for managing AF.

Abstract
Non-coding RNA transcripts are RNA molecules that have mainly regulatory functions and they do not encode proteins. microRNAs (miRNAs), lncRNAs and circRNAs are major types of this family and these epigenetic factors participate in disease pathogenesis, especially cancer that their abnormal expression may lead to cancer progression. miRNAs and lncRNAs possess a linear structure, whereas circRNAs possess ring structures and high stability. Wnt/β-catenin is an important factor in cancer with oncogenic function and it can increase growth, invasion and therapy resistance in tumors. Wnt upregulation occurs upon transfer of β-catenin to nucleus. Interaction of ncRNAs with Wnt/β-catenin signaling can determine tumorigenesis. Wnt upregulation is observed in cancers and miRNAs are able to bind to 3'-UTR of Wnt to reduce its level. LncRNAs can directly/indirectly regulate Wnt and in indirect manner, lncRNAs sponge miRNAs. CircRNAs are new emerging regulators of Wnt and by its stimulation, they increase tumor progression. CircRNA/miRNA axis can affect Wnt and carcinogenesis. Overall, interaction of ncRNAs with Wnt can determine proliferation rate, migration ability and therapy response of cancers. Furthermore, ncRNA/Wnt/β-catenin axis can be utilized as biomarker in cancer and for prognostic applications in patients.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has demonstrated various associations of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) with human diseases, such as abnormal expression due to microbial influences that cause disease. Gaining a deeper understanding of lncRNA-disease associations is essential for disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. In recent years, many matrix decomposition methods have also been used to predict potential lncRNA-disease associations. However, these methods do not consider the use of microbe-disease association information to enrich disease similarity, and also do not make more use of similarity information in the decomposition process. To address these issues, we here propose a correction-based similarity-constrained probability matrix decomposition method (SCCPMD) to predict lncRNA-disease associations. The microbe-disease associations are first used to enrich the disease semantic similarity matrix, and then the logistic function is used to correct the lncRNA and disease similarity matrix, and then these two corrected similarity matrices are added to the probability matrix decomposition as constraints to finally predict the potential lncRNA-disease associations. The experimental results show that SCCPMD outperforms the five advanced comparison algorithms. In addition, SCCPMD demonstrated excellent prediction performance in a case study for breast cancer, lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma, with prediction accuracy reaching 80, 100, and 100%, respectively. Therefore, SCCPMD shows excellent predictive performance in identifying unknown lncRNA-disease associations.

Abstract
Following the concept of RNA dependence and exploiting its application in the R-DeeP screening approach, we have identified RNA-dependent proteins in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells. RNA-dependent proteins are defined as proteins whose interactome depends on RNA and thus entails RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) as well as proteins in ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) without direct RNA interaction. With this proteome-wide technique based on sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation and fractionation followed by quantitative mass spectrometry and bioinformatic analysis, we have identified 1189 RNA-dependent proteins including 170 proteins which had never been linked to RNA before. R-DeeP provides quantitative information on the fraction of a protein being RNA-dependent as well as it allows the reconstruction of protein complexes based on co-segregation. The RNA dependence of three newly identified RNA-dependent proteins, DOCK5, ELMO2, also known as CED12A, and ABRAXAS1, also known as CCDC98, was validated using western blot analysis, and the direct RNA interaction was verified by iCLIP2 for the migration-related protein DOCK5 and the mitosis-related protein ABRAXAS1. The R-DeeP 2.0 database provides proteome-wide and cell line-specific information from A549 and HeLa S3 cells on proteins and their RNA dependence to contribute to understanding the functional role of RNA and RNA-binding proteins in cancer cells.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs are involved in epigenetic gene modification, including binding to the chromatin rearrangement complex in pre-transcriptional regulation and to gene promoters in gene expression regulation, as well as acting as microRNA sponges to control messenger RNA levels in post-transcriptional regulation. An increasing number of studies have found that long noncoding RNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) plays an important role in cancer development. In this review of a large number of studies on PVT1, we found that PVT1 is closely related to tumor onset, proliferation, invasion, epithelial–mesenchymal transformation, and apoptosis, as well as poor prognosis and radiotherapy and chemotherapy resistance in some cancers. This review comprehensively describes PVT1 expression in various cancers and presents novel approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Purpose The function of BZRAP1-AS1 is unknown in lung cancer. We evaluated the clinicopathologic significance of BZRAP1-AS1, and its role in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression. Patient and methods Sixty-three NSCLC patients from Beijing Chest Hospital were included. The expression of BZRAP1-AS1 was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues. Then, the clinicopathological significance and prognostic value of BZRAP1-AS1 were analyzed by using our cohort and TCGA cohort. Finally, the effect of BZRAP1-AS1 on proliferation and motility of NSCLC cell lines were evaluated by cell growth assay, colony formation assay, xenograft tumorigenesis experiment in nude mice and transwell assays respectively. Results Compared with adjacent normal tissues, BZRAP1-AS1 showed lower expression in NSCLC tumor tissues. As for the relationship between BZRAP1-AS1 and clinical characteristics, our results were consistent with those of TCGA data. BZRAP1-AS1 was lower in T1 than T2-T4 patients, N1-N3 than N0 patients. Low level BZRAP1-AS1 was related to shorter overall survival time (OS) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and poor first progression time (FP) in LUAD and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) patients. BZRAP1-AS1 was significantly associated with the prognosis of NSCLC patients. Overexpression of BZRAP1-AS1 inhibited proliferation and migration of H1299 and HCC827 cells. Conclusion BZRAP1-AS1 expression decreases in tumor tissues with the increase of malignancy grades in NSCLC. BZRAP1-AS1 plays an anticancer role by inhibiting cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, and has a potential prognostic value in NSCLC. BZRAP1-AS1 may serve as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for NSCLC.

Abstract
Among the different kinds of tumors threatening human life, lung cancer is one that is commonly observed in both males and females. The aggressive behavior of lung cancer and interactions occurring in tumor microenvironment enhances the malignancy of this tumor. The lung tumor cells have demonstrated capacity in developing chemo- and radio-resistance. LncRNAs are a category of non-coding RNAs that do not encode proteins, but their aberrant expression is responsible for tumor development, especially lung cancer. In the present review, we focus on both lncRNAs and exosomal lncRNAs in lung cancer, and their ability in regulating proliferation and metastasis. Cell cycle progression and molecular mechanisms related to lung cancer metastasis such as EMT and MMPs are regulated by lncRNAs. LncRNAs interact with miRNAs, STAT, Wnt, EZH2, PTEN and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways to affect progression of lung cancer cells. LncRNAs demonstrate both tumor-suppressor and tumor-promoting functions in lung cancer. They can be considered as biomarkers in lung cancer and especially exosomal lncRNAs present in body fluids are potential tools for minimally invasive diagnosis. Furthermore, we discuss regulation of lncRNAs by anti-cancer drugs and genetic tools as well as the role of these factors in therapy response of lung cancer cells.

Re-evaluating the need for mediastinal lymph node dissection and exploring lncRNAs as biomarkers of N2 metastasis in T1 lung adenocarcinoma. Transl Lung Cancer Res 2022; 11:1079-1088. [PMID: 35832449 PMCID: PMC9271436 DOI: 10.21037/tlcr-22-207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Background Although a well-acknowledged component of curative surgery for lung cancer, investigators have recently questioned the need for mediastinal lymph node dissection (MLND) in early-stage lung cancer cases. As such, the accurate prediction of N2 stage prior to surgery has become increasingly critical. But diagnostic biomarkers predicting N2 metastases are deficient, which are urgently needed. Methods We extracted the data of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients whose clinical information and follow-up data are complete and without preoperative induction therapy from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The SEER program registries routinely collect demographic and clinic data on patients. And the prognostic differences were analyzed according to the presence or absence of MLND in their lung resection using the R package. Subsequently, the correlations between pN2 metastasis and clinical characteristics were analyzed. In parallel, the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with pN2 status were screened in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database by expression difference analysis between pN0-N1 and pN2 patients using limma. Their diagnostic efficiency for detecting N2 metastases was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and a combined diagnostic model was constructed using logistic regression and ROC curve analyses in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Results There were 16,772 patients in MLND group, and 2,699 cases in no-MLND group. The clinical data from SEER showed that the incidence of N2 metastasis was low in pT1 NSCLC (1,023/16,772, 6.10%), but the prognosis of no-MLND patients was poorer than those who underwent MLND (P<0.001, HR =1.605). Pathological N2 metastasis was correlated with age, histologic type, and tumor size. On the other hand, five lncRNAs (LINC00892, AC099522.2, LINC01481, SCAMP1-AS1, and AC004812.2) were screened and confirmed as potential diagnostic biomarkers for detecting N2 metastasis in pT1 LUAD. The AUC of the combined indicators was 0.857. Conclusions MLND may be oncologically necessary for selected T1 NSCLC patients based on the metastasis incidence and prognosis. A diagnostic model combining LINC00892, AC099522.2, LINC01481, SCAMP1-AS1, and AC004812.2 expression levels may have the potential to be a diagnostic biomarker for detecting N2 metastasis in pT1 LUAD. This study suggests that MLND might be omitted in patients with lower expression level of this diagnostic model.

Exosomal LINC01213 Plays a Role in the Transition of Androgen-Dependent Prostate Cancer Cells into Androgen-Independent Manners. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:8058770. [PMID: 35310913 PMCID: PMC8930242 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8058770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Background Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), one of the prostate cancers, is a medical conundrum around the world. Some studies have demonstrated that many long noncoding RNAs in exosomes are very important in many types of cancer, including prostate cancer. However, until now, the function of exosomes in the occurrence and development of CRPC has not been reported. Methods In vitro, cell coculture was used in LNCap cells and PC-3 cells, while the isolation and purification of exosomes and the subsequent treatment assays were used in functional studies. In vitro assays were performed to detect the transformation of ADPC cells (androgen-dependent prostate cancer) into AIPC cells (androgen-independent prostate cancer). Subsequently, a lncRNA-sequencing assay was performed to detect different lncRNA expression profiles in ADPC cells cocultured with or without AIPC exosomes. The role of LINC01213 was analysed by a TCGA database after silencing the expression of LINC01213. CCK-8, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting studies were performed to analyse the possible mechanism by which exosomes participate in prostate cancer progression. Results In the coculture system, ADPC cells acquired androgen deprivation tolerance through exosome-mediated intercellular communication. Exosomes secreted by AIPC cells can promote the transformation of ADPC cells into androgen-independent cells in vitro and in vivo. lncRNA sequencing showed that LINC01213 was upregulated in exosomes derived from AIPC cell lines. The rescue experiments were preformed, and the results revealed that most of the functions of LINC01213 were performed by Wnt/β-catenin. Conclusions All the findings showed that exosomes play a key role in CRPC progression by upregulating LINC01213 and activating Wnt/β-catenin signalling.

Abstract
Distant metastasis is the main cause of death for cancer patients. Recently, the newly discovered programmed cell death includes necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, which possesses an important role in the process of tumor metastasis. At the same time, it is widely reported that non-coding RNA precisely regulates programmed death and tumor metastasis. In the present review, we summarize the function and role of necroptosis, pyrolysis, and ferroptosis involving in cancer metastasis, as well as the regulatory factors, including non-coding RNAs, of necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis in the process of tumor metastasis.
