[PMID: 38608371 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155282] [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: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Cancer is a group of diseases marked by unchecked cell proliferation and the ability for the disease to metastasize to different body areas. Enhancements in treatment and early detection are crucial for improved outcomes. LncRNAs are RNA molecules that encode proteins and have a length of more than 200 nucleotides. LncRNAs are crucial for chromatin architecture, gene regulation, and other cellular activities that impact both normal growth & pathological processes, even though they are unable to code for proteins. LncRNAs have emerged as significant regulators in the study of cancer biology, with a focus on their intricate function in the Notch signaling pathway. The imbalance of this pathway is often linked to a variety of malignancies. Notch signaling is essential for cellular functions like proliferation, differentiation, and death. The cellular response is shaped by these lncRNAs through their modulation of essential Notch pathway constituents such as receptors, ligands, and downstream effectors around it. Furthermore, a variety of cancer types exhibit irregular expression of Notch-related lncRNAs, underscoring their potential use as therapeutic targets and diagnostic markers. Gaining an understanding of the molecular processes behind the interaction between the Notch pathway and lncRNAs will help you better understand the intricate regulatory networks that control the development of cancer. This can open up new possibilities for individualized treatment plans and focused therapeutic interventions. The intricate relationships between lncRNAs & the Notch pathway in cancer are examined in this review.

Wang Q, Zhang W, Deng C, Lin S, Zhou Y. HOXA-AS2 may predict the prognosis of solid tumors among Chinese patients: A meta-analysis and bioinformatic analysis. Front Oncol 2022; 12:1030825. [PMID: 36387249 PMCID: PMC9659612 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.1030825] [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: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background HOXA cluster antisense RNA 2 (lncRNA HOXA-AS2) is a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that aberrantly expressed in various cancers and is closely associated with cancer progression. To overcome the limitation of small sample sizes that are inherent to single studies, a meta-analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between the expression level of HOXA-AS2 and cancer prognosis. Methods Correlational studies were retrieved by searching the databases of PubMed, Embase and Web of Science (up to August 10, 2022). The survival and prognosis data included overall survival (OS), and clinical parameters were gathered and analyzed. Results Eighteen publications with 1181 patients who were diagnosed with solid tumors were ultimately included. The results showed that, compared with patients with low HOXA-AS2 expression, patients with high HOXA-AS2 expression tended to have poorer overall survival (OS) (HR= 2.52, 95% CI 1.87-3.38, P < 0.01) and shorter disease-free survival (DFS) (HR=7.19, 95% CI 3.20-16.17, P < 0.01). In addition, elevated HOXA-AS2 expression indicated a larger tumor size (OR =2.43, 95% CI 1.53–3.88,P < 0.01), more advanced TNM stage (OR=3.85, 95% CI 2.79-5.31, P < 0.01), earlier lymph node metastasis (LNM) (OR = 4.41, 95% CI 3.05-6.39, P < 0.01) and distant metastasis (DM) (OR= 2.96, 95% CI 1.87-4.7, P < 0.01). Furthermore, HOXA-AS2 expression was notassociated with age (OR=1.15, 95% CI 0.90-1.47), gender (OR=1.16, 95% CI 0.89-1.53), or tumor differentiation (OR=1.21, 95% CI 0.56-2.63). Moreover, aberrant HOXA-AS2 expression was related to drug sensitivity in various types of cancers. Conclusion The overexpression of HOXA-AS2 predicted poor cancer prognosis in the Chinese population, including poor OS, DFS, TNM, LNM, and DM. HOXA-AS2 could serve as a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target. Systematic Review Registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42022352604.

[PMID: 35186937 PMCID: PMC8850700 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.832388] [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: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Cancer is one of the most prevalent and deadliest diseases globally, with an increasing morbidity of approximately 14 million new cancer cases per year. Identifying novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for cancers is important for developing cancer therapeutic strategies and lowering mortality rates. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a group of noncoding RNAs of more than 200 nucleotides that have been shown to participate in the development of human cancers. The novel lncRNA DUXAP10 was newly reported to be abnormally overexpressed in several cancers and positively correlated with poor clinical characteristics of cancer patients. Multiple studies have found that DUXAP10 widely regulates vital biological functions related to the development and progression of cancers, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, migration, and stemness, through different molecular mechanisms. The aim of this review was to recapitulate current findings regarding the roles of DUXAP10 in cancers and evaluate the potential of DUXAP10 as a novel biomarker for cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prognostic assessment.
