Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC), ranking as the third deadliest cancer globally, faces challenges of late diagnosis and limited treatment efficacy. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) emerge as valuable treasured targets for cancer prognosis, diagnosis, and therapy, given their high specificity, convenient non-invasive detection in body fluids, and crucial roles in diverse physiological and pathological processes. Research indicates the significant involvement of lncRNAs in various aspects of GC pathogenesis, including initiation, metastasis, and recurrence, underscoring their potential as novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, as well as therapeutic targets for GC. Despite existing challenges in the clinical application of lncRNAs in GC, the evolving landscape of lncRNA molecular biology holds promise for advancing the survival and treatment outcomes of gastric cancer patients. This review provides insights into recent studies on lncRNAs in gastric cancer, elucidating their molecular mechanisms and exploring the potential clinical applications in GC.

Abstract
Aim: Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) BC032469-dependent gold nanoparticle molecular beacons (AuNP-MB) were constructed for the detection of gastric cancer cells. Materials & methods: The AuNP-MBs were prepared according to well-established procedures based on the Au-S interaction between the gold lattice and thiol functionalized oligonucleotides. More importantly, the stability and targeting ability of AuNP-MB were verified by a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. Results: The lncRNA-dependent probes were successfully utilized for AuNP-MB-based intracellular imaging, with fluorescence effectively emitted in GC cells, but not in normal cells. Notably, such fluorescent emission was positively correlated with lncRNA BC032469 expression. Conclusion: The authors developed an effective fluorescent imaging probe for the recognition of gastric cancer cells.

Abstract
Breast cancer is very heterogenous and the most common gynaecological cancer, with various factors affecting its development. While its impact on human lives and national health budgets is still rising in almost all global areas, many molecular mechanisms affecting its onset and development remain unclear. Conventional treatments still prove inadequate in some aspects, and appropriate molecular therapeutic targets are required for improved outcomes. Recent scientific interest has therefore focused on the non-coding RNAs roles in tumour development and their potential as therapeutic targets. These RNAs comprise the majority of the human transcript and their broad action mechanisms range from gene silencing to chromatin remodelling. Many non-coding RNAs also have altered expression in breast cancer cell lines and tissues, and this is often connected with increased proliferation, a degraded extracellular environment, and higher endothelial to mesenchymal transition. Herein, we summarise the known abnormalities in the function and expression of long non-coding RNAs, Piwi interacting RNAs, small nucleolar RNAs and small nuclear RNAs in breast cancer, and how these abnormalities affect the development of this deadly disease. Finally, the use of RNA interference to suppress breast cancer growth is summarised.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Due to the shortage of effective biomarkers for predicting survival and diagnosing PC, the underlying mechanism is still intensively investigated but poorly understood. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) provide biological functional diversity and complexity in protein regulatory networks. Scientific studies have revealed the emerging functions and regulatory roles of lncRNAs in PC behaviors. It is worth noting that some in-depth studies have revealed that lncRNAs are significantly associated with the initiation and progression of PC. As lncRNAs have good properties for both diagnostic and prognostic prediction due to their translation potential, we herein address the current understanding of the multifaceted roles of lncRNAs as regulators in the molecular mechanism of PC. We also discuss the possibility of using lncRNAs as survival biomarkers and their contributions to the development of targeted therapies based on the literature. The present review, based on what we know about current research findings, may help us better understand the roles of lncRNAs in PC.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a bone and joint disease characterized by progressive cartilage degradation. In the face of global trends of population aging, OA is expected to become the fourth most common disabling disease by 2020. Nevertheless, the detailed pathogenesis of OA has not yet been elucidated. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), including long noncoding RNAs, microRNAs, and circular RNAs, do not encode proteins but have recently emerged as important regulators of apoptosis and autophagy of chondrocytes, thereby highlighting a potential role in chondrocyte injury leading to OA onset and progression. We here review recent findings on these regulatory roles of ncRNAs to provide new directions for research on the pathogenesis of OA and offer new therapeutic targets for prevention and treatment. This article is categorized under: RNA in Disease and Development > RNA in Disease RNA in Disease and Development > RNA in Development.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is a major therapeutic strategy for breast cancer, while cancer radioresistance remains an obstacle for the successful control of the tumor. Novel radiosensitizing targets are to be developed to overcome radioresistance. Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were proved to play critical roles in cancer progression. Among all, lncRNA HOTAIR was found to participate in cancer metastasis and chemoresistance. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the radiosensitizing effects of targeting HOTAIR and the underlying mechanism. Our data showed that HOTAIR (HOX antisense intergenic RNA) was up-regulated in breast cancer cells and tissues, and the expression of HOTAIR increased following irradiation. Knockdown of HOTAIR inhibited cell survival and increased cell apoptosis in response to ionizing radiation. Moreover, compared with control group, radiation induced more DNA damage and cell cycle arrest in HOTAIR knockdown cells. Finally, we found that the radiosentizing effects of HOTAIR were related to the up-regulation of miR-218, a ceRNA of HOTAIR. In conclusion, our finding showed that HOTAIR inhibition sensitizes breast cancer cells to ionizing radiation, induced severe DNA damage and activated apoptosis pathways, suggesting a possible role of HOTAIR as a novel target for breast cancer radiosensitization.

Abstract
Background: The gene metastasis-associated in colon cancer-1 (MACC1) has been reported to be overexpressed in diverse human malignancies, and an increasing amount of evidence suggests that its overexpression is associated with the development and progression of many human tumors. However, the prognostic and clinicopathological value of MACC1 in gastric cancer remains inconclusive. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to investigate the effect of positive MACC1 expression on clinicopathological features and survival outcomes in gastric cancer. Methods: Medline, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases were searched for relevant articles published up to 10 April 2018. The correlation of MACC1 expression levels with overall survival and clinicopathological features was analyzed. Results: In this meta-analysis, nine studies with a total of 2103 gastric cancer patients were included. Our results showed that high expression of MACC1 was significantly related to a poor overall survival. Moreover, our meta-analysis showed that MACC1 overexpression was significantly linked to distant metastasis and vascular invasion. There were no significant correlations between positive MACC1 expression and gender, localization, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, tumor extent (T stage) and lymph node involvement (N stage) Conclusions: MACC1 expression levels can serve as a novel prognostic factor in gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
Background Pancreatic cancer (PC) remains one of the most aggressive cancers worldwide. However, genetic factors underlying PC susceptibility remain largely unclear. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) acts as an oncogene and its genetic variation has been linked to many cancers. However, the associations between genetic variants in HOTAIR gene and PC risk has not yet been reported. Methods A two-stage, case–control study was conducted to investigate the associations between HOTAIR SNPs and the PC risk. Dual luciferase reporter assay and real-time -PCR (RT-PCR) was conducted to evaluate the potential regulatory function of HOTAIR rs4759314 and rs200349340. Results We found the minor alleles of rs4759314 (OR = 1.76; 95 CI 1.37–2.25; P = 0.001) and rs200349340 (OR = 1.32; 95 CI 1.12–1.56; P = 0.001) were significantly associated with PC susceptibility. In functional experiments, we found subjects carrying the minor alleles of rs4759314 and rs200349340 had significantly higher HOTAIR RNA levels (mean ± SD) than those carrying the major alleles in PC tissues. For rs4759314, cells transfected with rs4759314 -G allele construct showed higher relative luciferase activity; while for rs200349340, cells transfected with rs200349340 -G allele construct showed more sensitive change of the relative luciferase activity. Conclusion Our studies revealed that functional SNP rs4759314 and rs200349340 of HOTAIR had strong associations with PC susceptibility. These findings elucidate that functional genetic variants influencing lncRNA expression may explain a portion of PC genetic basis.

Abstract
Background Emerging evidences have demonstrated that lncRNAs play vital roles in various pathological processes, including cancer. The lncRNA WT1 antisense RNA (WT1-AS) serves as a tumor suppressor in various cancers. Nevertheless, the expression and precise function of WT1-AS in cervical carcinoma still remain not yet investigated. The objective of our study was to explore the expression of WT1-AS and its biological roles in cervical cancer. Methods Differences in the lncRNA expression profiles between cervical cancer and adjacent normal tissues were assessed by lncRNA expression microarray analysis. The expression of p53 in cervical cancer cell was assessed by qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence assay. Loss-of-function studies were used to explore the effect of lncRNA WT1-AS on the growth and metastasis of cervical cancer cell in vitro and in vivo. Results Our results demonstrated that WT1-AS was remarkably down-regulated in cervical carcinoma. Functional assays proved that up-regulation of WT1-AS significantly suppressed cervical cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In addition, the luciferase reporter assay identified that miR-330-5p was the target of WT1-AS. Moreover, tumor suppressor p53 was identified as the direct target of miR-330-5p and alternation of miR-330-5p/p53 axis reversed the effects of WT1-AS in cervical cancer cell. Conclusion Altogether, our findings suggested that WT1-AS was down-regulated in cervical carcinoma and WT1-AS suppressed cervical carcinoma cell- proliferation, migration and invasion through regulating the miR-330-5p/p53 axis.

Abstract
Alcohol consumption is one of the main risks to public health. Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) cause 80% of hepatotoxic deaths, and approximately 50% of cirrhosis is alcohol-related. The acceptable daily intake (ADI) for ethanol is 2.6 g/day, deduced from morbidity and mortality rates due to liver fibrosis. The relative risk of cirrhosis increases significantly for doses above 60 g/day for men and 20 g/day for women over a period of around 10 years. Twenty to 40% of steatosis cases will evolve into steatohepatitis/steatofibrosis, and 8 to 20% will evolve directly into liver cirrhosis. About 20 to 40% of steatohepatitis cases will evolve into cirrhosis, and 4 to 5% into hepatocellular carcinoma. This cascade of events evolves in 5 to 40 years, with the temporal variability caused by the subjects' genetic patterns and associated risk/comorbidity factors. Steatohepatitis should be considered "the rate limiting step:" usually, it can be resolved through abstinence, although for some patients, once this situation develops, it is not substantially modified by abstention and there is a risk of fibrotic evolution. Early detection of fibrosis, obtained by hepatic elastography, is a crucial step in patients with AUDs. Such strategy allows patients to be included in a detoxification program in order to achieve abstention. Drugs such as silybin, metadoxine, and adenosylmethionine can be used. Other drugs, with promising antifibrotic effects, are currently under study. In this review, we discuss clinical and pathogenetic aspects of alcohol-related liver fibrosis and present and future strategies to prevent cirrhosis.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a common, worldwide malignancy and has a poor prognosis due to late diagnosis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a significant subtype of RNA molecules with a length longer than 200 nucleotides (nt) that rarely encode proteins. In recent decades, deregulation of lncRNAs has been shown to be involved in tumorigenesis and tumor progression in various human carcinomas, including gastric cancer. Accumulating evidence has shown that some lncRNAs may function as diagnostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets for gastric cancer. Thus, exploring the specific functions of lncRNAs will help both gain a better understanding of the pathogenesis and develop novel treatments for gastric cancer. In this review, we highlight the expression and functional roles of lncRNAs in gastric cancer, and analyze the potential applications of lncRNAs as diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Drug resistance is a big obstacle for clinical anti-tumor treatment outcome. However, the role of HOTAIR in drug resistance in gastric cancer (GC) remains unknown. In this study, we showed that overexpression of HOTAIR enhanced paclitaxel and doxorubicin resistance in GC cells. Furthermore, the expression of HOTAIR was upregulated in GC tissues and higher expression of HOTAIR was associated with late stage. In addition, we showed that miR-217 expression was lower in GC tissues compared with the paired non-tumour tissues and downregulated expression of miR-217 was correlated with late stage. Interestingly, the expression of miR-217 was negatively correlated with HOTAIR expression in GC tissues. Ectopic expression of HOTAIR increased GC cell proliferation, cell cycle, and migration. Elevated expression of HOTAIR suppressed miR-217 expression and enhanced GPC5 and PTPN14 expression. Furthermore, we demonstrated that overexpression of miR-217 suppressed paclitaxel and doxorubicin resistance in GC cells. Ectopic expression of HOTAIR promoted drug resistance and increased GC cell proliferation, cell cycle, and migration by targeting miR-217. These data suggested that overexpression of HOTAIR enhanced paclitaxel and doxorubicin resistance in GC cells through inhibiting miR-217 expression.

Kong X, Liu W, Kong Y. Roles and expression profiles of long non-coding RNAs in triple-negative breast cancers. J Cell Mol Med 2017; 22:390-394. [PMID: 28941134 PMCID: PMC5742739 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.13327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2017] [Accepted: 07/03/2017] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) refers to the breast cancers that express little human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), progesterone receptor (PR) and oestrogen receptor (ER). When compared to other types of breast cancers, TNBC behaves more aggressively with relatively poorer prognosis. Moreover, except chemotherapy, no targeted treatments have been approved yet until now. Although the molecular‐biological mechanisms of the initiation and development of TNBC have been explored a lot, the exact details underlying its progressions are still not clear. Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs), with the length greater than 200 nucleotides, are non‐protein coding transcripts. Previous researches have shown that lncRNAs are significantly involved in a variety of pathophysiological processes such as cell migration, invasion, proliferation, differentiation and development. lncRNAs’ dysregulated expressions have been observed in many types of tumours including TNBCs. This article will review the functional roles and dysregulations of lncRNAs in TNBCs. These lncRNAs are worthy of exploitation regarding their potential application values of TNBC's diagnosis and treatment.
