Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibition has shown success in treating metastatic cutaneous melanoma but has limited efficacy against metastatic uveal melanoma, a rare variant arising from the immune privileged eye. To better understand this resistance, we comprehensively profile 100 human uveal melanoma metastases using clinicogenomics, transcriptomics, and tumor infiltrating lymphocyte potency assessment. We find that over half of these metastases harbor tumor infiltrating lymphocytes with potent autologous tumor specificity, despite low mutational burden and resistance to prior immunotherapies. However, we observe strikingly low intratumoral T cell receptor clonality within the tumor microenvironment even after prior immunotherapies. To harness these quiescent tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, we develop a transcriptomic biomarker to enable in vivo identification and ex vivo liberation to counter their growth suppression. Finally, we demonstrate that adoptive transfer of these transcriptomically selected tumor infiltrating lymphocytes can promote tumor immunity in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma when other immunotherapies are incapable.

Depicting the Profile of METTL3-Mediated lncRNA m6A Modification Variants and Identified SNHG7 as a Prognostic Indicator of MNNG-Induced Gastric Cancer. TOXICS 2023; 11:944. [PMID: 37999596 PMCID: PMC10674297 DOI: 10.3390/toxics11110944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
As a representative example of an environmental chemical carcinogen, MNNG exposure is closely associated with the onset of gastric cancer (GC) where N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation tends to be the critical epigenetic event. However, the effect of m6A modification on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in MNNG-induced GC onset is still unclear. To address the above issue, based on the Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) data of MNNG-induced malignant cells (MCs) and GC cells, we comprehensively analyzed the MNNG exposure-associated vital lncRNAs. MeRIP-seq analysis identified 1432 lncRNA transcripts in the MC cell, and 3520 lncRNA transcripts were found to be m6A modified in the GC cell, respectively. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that MNNG exposure could spark cellular localization change, which might be the critical cellular note variation for malignant transformation. We demonstrated that METTL3 is responsible for N6 methylation of lncRNAs and identified SNHG7 as a downstream target of METTL3. More importantly, we observed that SNHG7 was progressively up-regulated during gastric carcinogenesis by MNNG exposure. Finally, we investigated SNHG7 expression in different stages of GC malignancies and found that elevated SNHG7 expression correlated with advanced clinical features and poor prognosis in GC. In conclusion, our study found for the first time that METTL3 regulates the m6A methylation level of lncRNA SNHG7 and its expression in MNNG exposure-induced GC, suggesting that SNHG7 as a predictive biomarker or therapeutic target for GC.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a prevalent and devastating disease, representing a significant global health burden. Despite advancements in therapeutic strategies, the molecular mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis remain incompletely understood. Lung cancer typically displays the deregulated activity of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) pathway, which is vital for cell proliferation, survival, and metastasis. Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) can modulate the PI3K/AKT pathway, offering new insights into lung cancer biology and potential therapeutic opportunities. These lncRNA act as either oncogenes, promoting pathway activation, or tumour suppressors, attenuating pathway signalling. The dysregulation of lncRNA is associated with various cellular processes, including apoptosis, cell cycle control, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and angiogenesis, ultimately influencing lung cancer growth and metastasis. The development of novel therapeutic strategies, such as small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), antisense oligonucleotides, and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing, holds promise for restoring lncRNAs dysregulation and re-establishing the equilibrium of the PI3K/AKT pathway. The emerging role of lncRNAs as regulators of the PI3K/AKT pathway sheds new light on the complex molecular landscape of lung cancer. Understanding the interplay between lncRNA and the PI3K/AKT pathway could lead to the identification of novel biomarkers for prognosis and therapeutic targets for precision medicine. The potential of lncRNAs-based therapeutics may pave the way for more effective and personalized treatment approaches in lung cancer and potentially other malignancies with dysregulated PI3K/AKT signalling. This review aims to explore the emerging role of lncRNAs as key regulators of the PI3K/AKT pathway in lung cancer.

Abstract
LncRNAs function as molecular sponges for miRNAs to control their availability for targeting mRNA molecules. This procedure indirectly regulates the expression of cancer-related genes. Some lncRNAs also directly interact with miRNAs, leading to their degradation or sequestration, which can negatively impact gene expression. miRNAs, on the other hand, play a critical role in controlling the expression of genes, including oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Multiple types of cancer have been linked to the onset and progression of miRNA dysregulation. Even though there is a lot of potential for treating CRC by targeting the LncRNA-miRNA axis, several challenges remain to be overcome. The specificity of the targeting approach, delivery methods, resistance, safety, and cost-effectiveness are critical research areas that must be addressed to advance this field and improve treatment outcomes for people with CRC.

Abstract
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) or recurrent miscarriage is the failure of pregnancy before 20-24 weeks that influences around 2-5% of couples. Several genetic, immunological, environmental and physical factors may influence RPL. Although various traditional methods have been used to treat post-implantation failures, identifying the mechanisms underlying RPL may improve an effective treatment. Recent evidence suggested that gene expression alterations presented essential roles in the occurrence of RPL. It has been found that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play functional roles in pregnancy pathologies, such as recurrent miscarriage. lncRNAs can function as dynamic scaffolds, modulate chromatin function, guide and bind to microRNAs (miRNAs) or transcription factors. lncRNAs, by targeting various miRNAs and mRNAs, play essential roles in the progression or suppression of RPL. Therefore, targeting lncRNAs and their downstream targets might be a suitable strategy for diagnosis and treatment of RPL. In this review, we summarized emerging roles of several lncRNAs in stimulation or suppression of RPL.

Abstract
Background Cisplatin (DDP) is among the most widely used chemotherapeutic drugs for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet the frequent emergence of chemoresistance serves as a major barrier to the treatment of this tumor type. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been shown to influence the ability of cells to resist particular chemotherapy drugs. The present study was developed to explore the role of the lncRNA SNHG7 as a regulator of NSCLC cell chemosensitivity. Methods Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was employed to measure SNHG7 expression in NSCLC tissues from patients that were sensitive/resistant to DDP, correlations between SNHG7 expression levels and the patients' clinicopathological characteristics were assessed, and the prognostic relevance of SNHG7 expression was examined via the Kaplan-Meier approach. In addition, SNHG7 expression was assessed in NSCLC cell lines that were DDP-sensitive or -resistant, while western blotting and immunofluorescence staining were employed to detect autophagy-associated protein expression in A549, A549/DDP, HCC827, and HCC827/DDP cells. NSCLC cell chemoresistance was quantified via the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay approach, and flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptotic death of these tumor cells. The chemosensitivity of xenograft tumors in vivo was further assessed to validate the functional importance of SNHG7 as a regulator of NSCLC DDP resistance. Results Relative to paracancerous tissues, NSCLC tumors exhibited SNHG7 upregulation, and this lncRNA was further upregulated in DDP-resistant patients compared to chemosensitive patients. Consistently, higher SNHG7 expression levels were correlated with worse patient survival outcomes. DDP-resistant NSCLC cells were also found to exhibit higher levels of SNHG7 expression than chemosensitive cells, and knocking down this lncRNA enhanced the sensitivity of these cells to DDP treatment, resulting in impaired proliferation and higher rates of apoptotic death. Knocking down SNHG7 was also sufficient to suppress microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta (LC3B) and Beclin1 protein levels and promote p62 upregulation in vitro. The silencing of this lncRNA additionally inhibited the resistance of NSCLC xenograft tumors to DDP treatment in vivo. Conclusions SNHG7 can promote malignant behaviors and DDP resistance in NSCLC cells at least partly via the induction of autophagic activity.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a distinctive clinical syndrome with several causes and clinical manifestations. Aside from an infectious cause, PD is a rapidly developing neurological disorder with a global rise in frequency. Notably, improved knowledge of molecular pathways and the developing novel diagnostic methods may result in better therapy for PD patients. In this regard, the amount of research on ceRNA axes is rising, highlighting the importance of these axes in PD. CeRNAs are transcripts that cross-regulate one another via competition for shared microRNAs (miRNAs). These transcripts may be either coding RNAs (mRNAs) or non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). This research used a systematic review to assess validated loops of ceRNA in PD. The Prisma guideline was used to conduct this systematic review, which entailed systematically examining the articles of seven databases. Out of 309 entries, forty articles met all criteria for inclusion and were summarized in the appropriate table. CeRNA axes have been described through one of the shared vital components of the axes, including lncRNAs such as NEAT1, SNHG family, HOTAIR, MALAT1, XIST, circRNAs, and lincRNAs. Understanding the multiple aspects of this regulatory structure may aid in elucidating the unknown causal causes of PD and providing innovative molecular therapeutic targets and medical fields.

Abstract
LncRNAs and miRNAs are the two most important non-coding RNAs, which have been identified to be associated with cancer progression or prevention. The dysregulation of lncRNAs conducts tumorigenesis and metastasis in different ways. One of the mechanisms is that lncRNAs interact with miRNAs to regulate distinct cellular and genomic processes and cancer progression. LncRNA SNHG7 as an oncogene sponges miRNAs and develops lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA axes, leading to the regulation of several signaling pathways such as Wnt/β-Catenin, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, SIRT1, and Snail-EMT. Therefore, in this article, after a brief overview of lncRNA SNHG7-miRNA-mRNA axes' contribution to cancer development, we will discuss the role of lncRNA SNHG7 in the genes expression and signaling pathways related to cancers development via acting as a ceRNA.

Abstract
Breast cancer affects millions of women each year. Despite recent advances in targeted treatments breast cancer remains a significant threat to women's health. In recent years the development of high-throughput sequencing technologies has advanced the field of transcriptomics shedding light on the role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), in human cellular function and disease. LncRNAs are classified as transcripts longer than 200nt with no coding potential. These transcripts constitute a diverse group of regulatory molecules essential to the modulation of crucial cellular processes, which dysregulation of leads to disease. LncRNAs exert their regulatory functions through their sequences and by forming complex secondary and tertiary structures that interact with other transcripts, chromatin and/or proteins. Numerous studies have provided evidence of the involvement of LncRNAs in tumor development and disease progression. They possess multiple characteristics that make them novel therapeutic and diagnostic targets. Indeed, the discovery of a novel mechanism by which lncRNAs associated with proteins can induce the formation of phase-separated droplets broadens our understanding of the spatiotemporal control of cellular processes and opens up developing a new treatment. Nevertheless, the role and the molecular mechanisms of many lncRNAs in the regulation of cellular processes and cancer still remain elusive. This is due to the absence of a thorough characterization of the regulatory role of their loci and the functional impact of their aberrations in cancer biology. Here, we present some of the latest advances concerning the role of LncRNAs in breast cancer.

Sun W, Sun L, Sun X, Ma S. Long non-coding RNA SNHG7 upregulates FGF9 to alleviate oxygen and glucose deprivation-induced neuron cell injury in a miR-134-5p-dependent manner. Metab Brain Dis 2021; 36:2483-2494. [PMID: 34661812 DOI: 10.1007/s11011-021-00852-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Long non-coding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 7 (SNHG7) was reported to regulate the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. The study aimed to disclose SNHG7 role in oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced Neuro-2a (N2a) cell disorders. An OGD injury cell model was established using N2a cells. The expression of SNHG7, microRNA-134-5p (miR-134-5p) and fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Protein expression was detected by western blot. Cell viability and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage were determined by cell counting kit-8 and LDH activity detection assays. Oxidative stress was investigated by Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase activity assays as well as Malondialdehyde and Reactive Oxygen Species detection kits. Cell apoptosis and caspase-3 activity were severally demonstrated by flow cytometry and caspase-3 activity assays. The interaction between miR-134-5p and SNHG7 or FGF9 was predicted by online databases, and identified by mechanism assays. OGD treatment decreased SNHG7 and FGF9 expression, but increased miR-134-5p expression. OGD treatment repressed cell viability, promoted LDH leakage and induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in N2a cells, which was rescued by SNHG7 overexpression. SNHG7 acted as a sponge for miR-134-5p, and regulated OGD-triggered cell damage by associating with miR-134-5p. Additionally, miR-134-5p depletion protected N2a cells from OGD-induced injury by targeting FGF9. Ectopic SNHG7 expression protected against OGD-induced neuronal cell injury by inducing FGF9 through sponging miR-134-5p, providing a novel therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.

Long Noncoding RNA Small Nuclear RNA Host Gene 7 Knockdown Protects Mouse Cardiac Fibroblasts Against Myocardial Infarction by Regulating miR-455-3p/Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor Axis. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 2021; 77:796-804. [PMID: 33929392 DOI: 10.1097/fjc.0000000000001012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2020] [Accepted: 02/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
ABSTRACT Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of heart failure all over the world. Long noncoding RNAs have been reported to be associated with the development of MI. In this article, we aimed to explore the effects of long noncoding RNA small nuclear RNA host gene 7 (SNHG7) on MI and the possible mechanism. In this study, an MI model was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery of mice. Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) derived from neonatal mice were activated by angiotensin II (Ang-II) treatment. The expression of SNHG7 and miR-455-3p was examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and protein levels of platelet-activating factor receptor (PTAFR) and fibrosis-related proteins were analyzed by western blot assay. Cell apoptosis of CFs was monitored by flow cytometry. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to evaluate inflammatory responses in CFs. Moreover, dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to confirm the target relationship between miR-455-3p and SNHG7 or PTAFR. LncRNA SNHG7 and PTAFR were upregulated, whereas miR-455-3p was downregulated in cardiac tissues of mice with MI and Ang-II-induced CFs. SNHG7 depletion or miR-455-3p overexpression attenuated Ang-II-induced apoptosis, fibrosis, and inflammation in CFs, which was severally weakened by miR-455-3p inhibition or PTAFR upregulation. LncRNA SNHG7 targeted miR-455-3p, and PTAFR was a target of miR-455-3p. LncRNA SNHG7 depletion exerted protective roles in apoptosis, fibrosis, and inflammation in Ang-II-induced CFs by regulating miR-455-3p/PTAFR axis, providing a potential molecular target for MI therapy.
