Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoclasts, which are responsible for bone resorption, are specialized multinucleated cells generated from monocyte/macrophage progenitor cells or hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Physiological bone remodeling can become pathological, such as osteoporosis, when osteoclastogenesis is out of balance. Thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) influence important molecular and biological processes. Recent research has revealed gene expression regulation function that numerous lncRNAs regulate nuclear domain organization, genome stability. Furthermore, the research of lncRNAs has substantial clinical implications for the treatment of existing and new diseases. AREAS COVERED In this review, we gather the most recent research on lncRNAs and their potential for basic research and clinical applications in osteoclast and osteoporosis. We also discuss the findings here in order to fully understand the role of lncRNAs in osteoclast differentiation and osteoporosis, as well as to provide a solid basis for future research exploring associated mechanisms and treatments. EXPERT OPINION LncRNA has been considered as an important role in the regulation of osteoclast differentiation and osteoporosis. It is exciting to investigate pathophysiological processes in osteoporosis and the therapeutic potential of lncRNAs. We hope that this review will offer promising prospects for the development of precision and individualized approaches to treatment.

Abstract
Background The pathogenesis and development of chronic heart failure (CHF) may involve long non-coding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA) steroid receptor RNA activator 1 (SRA1), a known cardiomyopathy risk factor and regulator of cardiac myofibroblast activation. This study aimed to investigate the application of SRA1 in the early detection and prediction of CHF. Methods SRA1 plasma expression was determined in CHF patients and healthy individuals/using real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The diagnostic and prognostic value of SRA1 was assessed using receiver operating curve (ROC) and Cox regression analyses. Results Compared with the healthy controls, the patients with CHF had increased brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, left atrial end-systolic diameter (LAD), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDd), and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). SRA1 was significantly upregulated in CHF patients as well as positively correlated with BNP level, LAD, and LVDd, and negatively correlated with LVEF. SRA1 could sensitively discriminate CHF patients from healthy individuals and was an independent predictor of adverse event-free survival in CHF patients. Conclusions Upregulated plasma SRA1 can discriminate patients with CHF from healthy individuals and predict adverse outcomes in CHF patients. Thus, SRA1 is a potential molecular indicator for monitoring chronic heart failure development.

LncRNA CASC11 upregulation promotes HDAC4 to alleviate oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced injury of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells. Kaohsiung J Med Sci 2023; 39:758-768. [PMID: 37096653 DOI: 10.1002/kjm2.12687] [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: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) are essential to regulate the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study was conducted to analyze the functionality of long noncoding RNA cancer susceptibility candidate 11 (lncRNA CASC11) in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced injury of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs). CMECs were treated with ox-LDL to induce the CAD cell model. The cellular expression levels of CASC11 and histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction or Western blot assay. Cell absorbance, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and inflammation were evaluated by cell counting kit-8, flow cytometry, tube formation, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The subcellular localization of CASC11 was examined by the nuclear/cytoplasmic fractionation assay. The binding of human antigen R (HuR) to CASC11 and HDAC4 was analyzed by RNA immunoprecipitation. HDAC4 stability was determined after actinomycin D treatment. CASC11 was found to be decreased in the CAD cell model. CASC11 upregulation increased cell viability and angiogenesis and reduced apoptosis and inflammation. CASC11 bound to HuR and improved HDAC4 expression. HDAC4 downregulation counteracted the protective role of CASC11 overexpression in CMECs. In summary, CASC11 alleviated ox-LDL-induced injury of CMECs by binding to HuR and stabilizing HDAC4.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD), caused by coronary artery occlusion, is a common cardiovascular disease worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in the regulation of endothelial cell injury, angiogenesis, plaque formation, and other pathological mechanisms in CAD by acting on different cell types. Some lncRNAs are significantly upregulated in CAD patients; however, other lncRNAs are significantly downregulated. Differential expression of lncRNAs in CAD patients enables them to be exploited as potential biomarkers to evaluate disease progression and diagnosis/prognosis in CAD patients. In this study, we reviewed the role of lncRNAs in the development of different clinical subtypes of CAD.

[PMID: 35854140 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-022-01604-z] [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: 11/15/2021] [Revised: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) seriously disturbs the life of people. LncRNA H19 is reported to promote the progression of CAD; Nevertheless, the detailed mechanism by which H19 modulates CAD development is unclear. METHODS Clinical samples of CAD patients were collected, meanwhile we established in vitro and in vivo models of CAD by treating HCAECs with ox-LDL and feeding ApoE-/- mice with high fat diets (HFD). MTT assay was adopted to assess the cell viability. Transwell detection was applied to test the migration, and apoptosis was tested by flow cytometry. The levels of inflammatory cytokines were examined by ELISA. The relation among H19, miR-20a-5p and HDAC4 was explored by dual luciferase reporter and RIP assay. RESULTS H19 and HDAC4 levels were elevated, while miR-20a-5p was reduced in plasma of CAD patients and ox-LDL-treated HCAECs. ox-LDL increased H19 level and induced apoptosis and inflammation in HCAECs, while silencing of H19 rescued this phenomenon. In addition, the level of H19 was negatively correlated with miR-20a-5p, and miR-20a-5p inhibitor restored the effect of H19 silencing on HCAECs function. HDAC4 was the downstream mRNA of miR-20a-5p, and miR-20a-5p upregulation reversed ox-LDL-induced HCAECs injury through targeting HDAC4. Furthermore, H19 silencing significantly alleviated the coronary atherosclerotic plaques and inhibited the inflammatory responses in vivo. CONCLUSIONS We proved that knockdown of H19 alleviated ox-LDL-induced HCAECs injury via miR-20a-5p/HDAC4 axis, which might provide a new tactics against CAD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the expression level of lncRNA myocardial infarction associated transcript (MIAT) in serum of pregnant women with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) and its clinical significance. METHODS A total of 135 pregnant women with HDP were selected, including 69 pregnant women with gestational hypertension (GH) and 66 pregnant women with preeclampsia (PE). Sixty-eight normal pregnant women were selected as healthy control group (HC). The expression level of serum MIAT of all subjects was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and the diagnostic value of MIAT for GH was evaluated by constructing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between MIAT and patients' clinical indicators. Logistics regression analysis evaluated the influencing factors of GH development into PE. RESULTS The level of MIAT in GH group was significantly higher than that in HC group, while MIAT level in PE group was more significantly upregulated than that in GH group and HC group. ROC curve showed that MIAT had the ability to distinguish between GH patients and healthy controls. Pearson correlation coefficient suggested that HOTAIR expression was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DPB). Logistic regression analysis showed that MIAT was an independent influencing factor for the development of GH to PE. CONCLUSION The expression of MIAT in serum of HDP patients was increased and positively correlated with the severity of the disease. The abnormal expression of MIAT has certain diagnostic value for GH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignancy diagnosed among men after lung cancer in developed countries. Investigation of the underlying molecular mechanisms of PCa is urgently needed in order to develop better therapeutic strategies and to reveal more effective therapeutic targets. In this study, we aimed at exploring the potential functions of CASC11 in association with miR-145 and IGF1R during the malignant progression of PCa cells. METHODS We initially investigated the oncogenic potential of noncoding members of CASC gene family and analyzed the effects of CASC11 overexpression on proliferation, migration, and colony formation ability of DU145, LNCaP, and PC3 PCa cells. We, then, exprlored the association of CASC11, miR-145, and IGF1R expression and their impacts on PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in in vitro models. RESULTS In silico analysis revealed that of the CASC family only CASC11 showed consistent results considering its differential expression as well as its association with the overall survival of patients. We demonstrated that ectopic overexpression of CASC11 significantly increased the proliferation, colony formation, and migration capacity in all three cell lines. CASC11 overexpression caused suppression of miR-145 and overexpression of IGF1R, leading to activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. CONCLUSION In summary, we found that CASC11 is upregulated in PCa cells and clinical tumor samples in comparison to corresponding controls and revealed that ectopic CASC11 overexpression promotes cellular phenotypes associated with PCa progression through CASC11/miR-145/IGF1R axis.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common disorder caused by atherosclerotic processes in the coronary arteries. This condition results from abnormal interactions between numerous cell types in the artery walls. The main participating factors in this process are accumulation of lipid deposits, endothelial cell dysfunction, macrophage induction, and changes in smooth muscle cells. Several lines of evidence underscore participation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the pathogenesis of CAD. Several lncRNAs such as H19, ANRIL, MIAT, lnc-DC, IFNG-AS1, and LEF1-AS1 have been shown to be up-regulated in the biological materials obtained from CAD patients. On the other hand, Gas5, Chast, HULC, DICER1-AS1, and MEG3 have been down-regulated in CAD patients. Meanwhile, a number of circRNAs have been demonstrated to influence function of endothelial cells or vascular smooth muscle cells, thus contributing to the pathogenesis of CAD. In the current review, we summarize the function of lncRNAs and circRNAs in the development and progression of CAD.

Abstract
The frequency of human suffering from cancer is increasing annually across the globe. This has fueled numerous investigations aimed at the prevention and cure of various cancers. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) are known to play a crucial role in cancer. For instance, cancer susceptibility candidate 11 (CASC11), as one of the long non-coding RNAs, has been reported to be overexpressed in various tumors. This review elucidates the mechanism by which lncRNA CASC11 regulates tumors' biological processes and affirms its value as a therapeutic target for tumors. Through systematic analysis and review of relevant articles in PubMed, we revealed the pathophysiological mechanism of CASC11 on the tumor by regulating the biological processes of tumor such as proliferation, autophagy, apoptosis, thereby promoting tumor metastasis. We also revealed the regulatory pathways of CASC11 in different tumors, for instance by acting on a variety of microRNAs, oncogenic proteins, carcinogens, and transcription factors. Consequently, CASC11 regulates cancer proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion by altering the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). Furthermore, CASC11 expression has a high pertinence with clinical prognosis, suggesting that it is a potential marker for malignant tumors or a clinical adjuvant therapy in the future.
