Abstract
As one of the earliest discovered lncRNA molecules, lncRNA H19 is usually expressed in large quantities during embryonic development and is involved in cell differentiation and tissue formation. In recent years, the role of lncRNA H19 in tumors has been gradually recognized. Increasing evidence suggests that its aberrant expression is closely related to cancer development. LncRNA H19 as an oncogene not only promotes the growth, proliferation, invasion and metastasis of many tumors, but also develops resistance to treatment, affecting patients' prognosis and survival. Therefore, in this review, we summarise the extensive research on the involvement of lncRNA H19 in tumor progression and discuss how lncRNA H19, as a key target gene, affects tumor sensitivity to radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy by participating in multiple cellular processes and regulating multiple signaling pathways, which provides a promising prospect for further research into the treatment of cancer.

BMC Cancer 2024; 24:4. [PMID: 38166752 PMCID: PMC10763168 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11743-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: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 has gained significant recognition as a pivotal contributor to the initiation and advancement of gynecologic cancers, encompassing ovarian, endometrial, cervical, and breast cancers. H19 exhibits a complex array of mechanisms, demonstrating dualistic effects on tumorigenesis as it can function as both an oncogene and a tumor suppressor, contingent upon the specific context and type of cancer being investigated. In ovarian cancer, H19 promotes tumor growth, metastasis, and chemoresistance through modulation of key signaling pathways and interaction with microRNAs. Conversely, in endometrial cancer, H19 acts as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Additionally, H19 has been implicated in cervical and breast cancers, where it influences cell proliferation, invasion, and immune evasion. Moreover, H19 has potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for gynecologic cancers, with its expression levels correlating with clinical parameters and patient outcomes. Understanding the functional roles of H19 in gynecologic cancers is crucial for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies and personalized treatment approaches. Further investigation into the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying H19's involvement in gynecologic malignancies is warranted to fully unravel its therapeutic potential and clinical implications. This review aims to elucidate the functional roles of H19 in various gynecologic malignancies.

Abstract
Gynecological malignancies are one of the main causes of cancer-induced mortality. Despite remarkable recent therapeutic advances, current therapeutic options are not sufficient. Regarding the effect of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) on cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis, variations in their expression cause different anomalies, such as tumorigenesis. SNPs influence lncRNA function and expression. LncRNA polymorphisms can predict cancer risk and are effective for early diagnosis and customized therapy. In this literature review, we comprehensively investigate the effect of lncRNA polymorphisms on gynecological cancers. LncRNA-related variants are proposed to evaluate cancer incidence, early detection and management of personalized therapy. Nonetheless, more studies are required to validate the consistency of current findings in numerous samples and across various ethnic groups.

Abstract
Background Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been revealed to involve in cervical cancer (CC) developing. The current study was designed to explore the association of SNPs (rs217727, rs2366152, rs1859168, rs10505477) located in the lncRNA H19, HOTAIR, HOTTIP and CASC8 genes with the risk of CC in a Chinese Han population. Methods Four SNPs were selected and genotyped in 1426 participants (274 CIN patients, 448 CC patients, and 704 healthy control individuals) using MassArray. The association of these SNPs with susceptibility to CC was evaluated. Results Significant differences in allelic distribution of rs217727 were observed in the comparison of CC with control (P = 0.001), indicating the risk of rs217727-A allele in CC (OR = 1.33; 95% CI: 1.12-1.58). The inheritance model analysis revealed that 2AA+GA genotype represented a certain risk of CC (P = 0.001, OR = 1.35; 95% CI: 1.13-1.62). The stratified analysis revealed a risk of the rs217727-A allele for cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (P = 0.002, OR = 1.33; 95% CI: 1.11-1.60). Conclusion rs217727 in lncRNA H19 exhibited a significant correlation with CC susceptibility, particularly SCC, and A/A genotype of this SNP might present as a risk in CC.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs play important roles in cellular functions and disease development. H19, as a long non-coding RNA, is pervasively over-expressed in almost all kinds of human malignant tumors. Although many studies have reported that H19 is closely associated with tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, metastasis, and chemoresistance, the role and mechanism of H19 in gene regulation and tumor development are largely unclear. In this review, we summarized the recent progress in the study of the major functions and mechanisms of H19 lncRNA in cancer development and progression. H19 possesses both oncogenic and tumor-suppressing activities, presumably through regulating target gene transcription, mRNA stability and splicing, and competitive inhibition of endogenous RNA degradation. Studies indicate that H19 may involve in cell proliferation and apoptosis, tumor initiation, migration, invasion, metastasis and chemoresistance and may serve as a potential biomarker for early diagnosis, prognosis, and novel molecular target for cancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have demonstrated long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) play an important role in the occurrence and progression of cancer, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in lncRNA are considered to affect cancer suspensibility. Herein, a meta-analysis was carried out to better assess the relationship of H19 polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility. METHODS A literature search was conducted through using PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases to obtain relevant publications before Aug 23, 2022. The reference lists of the retrieved studies were also investigated to identify additional relevant articles. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to appraise the risk of various cancers. RESULTS There appeared to be a remarkable correlation between the rs2107425 variation and decreased cancer risk among Caucasians. Nevertheless, the rs217727 polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and oral squamous cell carcinoma. Also, we found a significant correlation between the rs2839698 polymorphism and increased cancer risk among Asians, gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, hospital-based control and larger simple size subgroups, respectively. Similarly, the rs3741219 mutation was notably related to cancer risk in higher quality score. As for rs3024270 polymorphism, the homozygous model was markedly linked to cancer risk in overall analysis and population-based controls. There was no significant association between the rs3741216 polymorphism and cancer risk. CONCLUSION H19 rs2839698 and rs3024270 were closely associated with overall cancer risk. H19 rs2107425 was related to lower cancer risk among Caucasians, while the rs2839698 was related to increased cancer risk among Asians. Our results supported that H19 SNPs were significantly correlated with cancer risk.

Front Genet 2022; 13:988207.

Abstract
Objective: The relationship between gene polymorphisms in long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) and cervical cancer susceptibility has been thoroughly analyzed; however, the conclusions are inconsistent. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to accurately assess the relationship between them. Method: Eligible literatures were retrieved from PubMed, Medline, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and WanFang databases before 1 April 2022. The odds ratios with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals were used to evaluate the strength of these relationships. Sensitivity analysis for publication bias was conducted to assess the stability and reliability of included literatures. Results: A total of 59 SNPs in 11 LncRNAs were summarized for a systematic review in this study, and then, a meta-analysis of rs920778 and rs4759314 polymorphisms in HOTAIR and rs217727 polymorphisms in H19 was conducted. The results demonstrated that rs920778 and rs4759314 polymorphisms were significantly correlated with cervical cancer susceptibility. Further subgroup analysis of rs920778 polymorphism showed that both small sample size and large sample size subgroups were associated with cervical cancer susceptibility. However, no association was found between rs217727 polymorphism and cervical cancer risk in all five genetic models. Conclusion: In conclusion, the rs4759314, rs920778, and rs217717 polymorphisms of HOTAIR and H19 may be associated with cervical cancer. However, the results should be interpreted with caution due to the limited sample and heterogeneity in this study. Large-scale and well-designed studies need to be practiced to validate our results.

Abstract
Background Cervical cancer is the most common gynecological cancer worldwide and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Despite improvements in therapeutic strategies, the network regulation mechanism remains unclear and the treatment effect is not satisfactory. Therefore, there is a need to continue studying the mechanism of cervical cancer to explore effective gene targets and precise targeted therapy drugs. Methods First, three paired tissues (cancer tissues and noncancerous tissues) from patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma were collected, grouped, and analyzed by microarray. Second, differentially expressed mRNAs (DEMs) and differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) (|fold change| ≥ 2 and p < 0.05) between the two groups were screened. For DEMs, functional annotation and pathway analysis were performed using DAVID. Functional prediction of DELs was then performed and their cis‐regulatory and trans‐regulatory networks were explored. Results Function prediction of DELs (both up‐regulated and down‐regulated) shows that the highest frequency Cellular Component (CC) item is cytosol, the highest frequency Molecular function (MF) item is mitotic cell cycle and the highest frequency Biological Process (BP) item is protein binding. Through cis‐regulation analysis of DELs, the cis‐regulatory relationship of 96 DELs was predicted. The lncRNA‐trans‐regulation network analysis suggested that E2F4 may be the core transcription factor in the lncRNA‐TF regulatory network in cervical cancer. Conclusions The lncRNA‐TF regulatory network plays an important role in the occurrence and progression of cervical cancer, and E2F4 may be a critical transcription factor in the regulatory network.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key players in a variety of cellular processes. Deregulation of the lncRNAs has been implicated in prostate and breast cancers. Recently, germline genetic variations associated with cancer risk have been correlated with lncRNA expression and/or function. In addition, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at well-characterized cancer-associated lncRNAs have been analyzed for their association with cancer risk. These SNPs may occur within the lncRNA transcripts or spanning regions that may alter the structure, function, and expression of these lncRNA molecules and contribute to cancer progression and may have potential as therapeutic targets for cancer treatment. Additionally, some of these lncRNA have a tissue-specific expression profile, suggesting them as biomarkers for specific cancers. In this review, we highlight some of the cancer risk-associated SNPs that modulated lncRNAs with a potential role in prostate and breast cancers and speculate on how these lncRNAs may contribute to cancer development.

Abstract
The aim of the current study is to investigate potential associations among Long Noncoding RNA (LncRNA) H19 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) phenotypes on the clinicopathological characteristics of lung adenocarcinoma (LADC). Five loci of LncRNA H19 SNPs (rs217727, rs2107425, rs2839698, rs3024270, and rs3741219) were genotyped by using TaqMan allelic discrimination in 223 LADC patients with wild-type EGFR phenotype and 323 LADC individuals with EGFR mutations. After the statistical analyses, patients with the EGFR mutation were related to a higher distribution frequency of rs217727 SNP CT heterozygote (p = 0.030), and the female population with EGFR mutation demonstrated a higher distribution frequency of rs217727 SNP CT heterozygote (p < 0.001) and rs2107425 CT heterozygote (p = 0.002). In addition, the presence of LncRNA H19 SNP rs217727 T allele (CT + TT) in patients with EGFR wild-type was associated to higher tumor T status (stage III or IV, p = 0.037) and poorer cell differentiation status (poor differentiation, p = 0.012) compared to those EGFR wild-type individuals with LncRNA H19 SNP rs217727 CC allele. Besides, a prominently higher tumor T status was found in subjects with LncRNA H19 SNP rs2107425 T allele (CT + TT) (stage III or IV, p = 0.007) compared to EGFR wild-type LADC individuals with LncRNA CC allele in EGFR wild-type patients. Our findings suggest that the presence of LncRNA H19 SNP rs217727 is related to the EGFR mutation in LADC patients, and the LncRNA H19 SNP rs217727 and rs2107425 are associated with progressed tumor status for LADC patients with EGFR wild-type.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2021; 14:ph14030235. [PMID: 33800276 PMCID: PMC7999603 DOI: 10.3390/ph14030235] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Revised: 03/03/2021] [Accepted: 03/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of our study was to investigate whether genetic variations in lncRNA H19 were associated with susceptibility to childhood leukemia. Two hundred and sixty-six childhood leukemia patients and 266 healthy controls were enrolled in Taiwan, and two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs2839698 and rs217727, in H19 were genotyped and analyzed. There was a significant difference in the genotypic distribution of rs2839698 between patients and healthy controls (p = 0.0277). Compared to the wild-type CC genotype, the heterozygous variant CT and homozygous variant TT genotypes were associated with significantly increased risks of childhood leukemia with an adjusted odd ratio (OR) of 1.46 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.08–2.14, p = 0.0429) and 1.94 (95%CI, 1.15–3.31, p = 0.0169), respectively (pfor tread = 0.0277). The difference in allelic frequencies between childhood leukemia patients and controls was also significant (T versus C, adjusted OR = 1.53, 95%CI, 1.13–1.79, p = 0.0077). There were no significant differences in the genotypic and allelic distributions of rs217727 between cases and controls. Interestingly, the average level of H19 rs2839698 was statistically significantly higher for patients with CT and TT genotypes than from those with the CC genotype (p < 0.0001). Our results indicate that H19 SNP rs2839698, but not rs217727, may serve as a novel susceptibility marker for childhood leukemia.

[PMID: 32996061 DOI: 10.1007/s10753-020-01340-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2020] [Revised: 09/02/2020] [Accepted: 09/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Sepsis is an infectious disease that seriously endangers human health. It usually leads to myocardial injury which seriously endangers to the health of human beings. H19 has been confirmed to play key roles in various diseases, including sepsis. However, its function in the progression of sepsis-induced myocardial injury remains largely unknown. H9C2 cells were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mimic sepsis-induced myocardial injury in vitro. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. In addition, gene and protein expression levels in H9C2 cells were measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting. The levels of inflammatory cytokines in H9C2 cell supernatants were tested by ELISA. JC-1 staining was performed to observe the mitochondrial membrane potential level in H9C2 cells. H19 and SORBS2 were downregulated in H9C2 cells following LPS treatment, while miR-93-5p was upregulated. Moreover, LPS-induced cell growth inhibition and mitochondrial damage were significantly reversed by overexpression of H19. In addition, H19 upregulation notably suppressed LPS-induced inflammatory responses in H9C2 cells. Moreover, H19 sponged miR-93-5p to promote SORBS2 expression. Overall, H19 suppressed sepsis-induced myocardial injury via regulation of the miR-93-5p/SORBS2 axis. H19 attenuated the development of sepsis-induced myocardial injury in vitro via modulation of the miR-93-5p/SORBS2 axis. Thus, H19 could serve as a potential target for the treatment of sepsis-induced myocardial injury.

Impact of H19 Polymorphisms on Prostate Cancer Clinicopathologic Characteristics. Diagnostics (Basel) 2020; 10:diagnostics10090656. [PMID: 32878251 PMCID: PMC7555714 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics10090656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2020] [Revised: 08/26/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Active surveillance is the preferred strategy for very low risk, low risk, and some favorable intermediate risk of prostate cancer. However, the current risk stratifications with initial prostate-specific antigen (iPSA) levels and Gleason scores at biopsy can underestimate the true oncologic threat. More precise predictors are required to avoid the overtreatment of prostate cancer. H19 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found to play crucial roles in numerous malignancies, but not yet in prostate cancer. This study assessed the clinicopathologic effects of H19 SNPs on prostate cancer to identify potential active surveillance candidates. A total of 579 patients with prostate cancer who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy between 2012 and 2017 were recruited. The patients were grouped by iPSA levels, and five H19 SNPs were evaluated. Our results show that patients with an iPSA level of ≤7 ng/mL had increased an likelihood of having Gleason score and group grade upgrades after radical prostatectomy compared with patients with an iPSA level of >7 ng/mL. Moreover, patients with loci polymorphisms in either rs3024270 or rs3741219 had a significantly higher risk of perineural invasion (rs3024270: Odds ratio (OR) 2.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.30-5.87, p = 0.01; rs3741219: OR 2.30, 95% CI 1.17-4.54, p = 0.018). In conclusion, our results suggested that H19 SNPs play a role in the perineural invasion of prostate cancer.
