Noncoding RNA 2023; 9:58. [PMID: 37888204 PMCID: PMC10610215 DOI: 10.3390/ncrna9050058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Long intergenic non-coding RNA, is one type of lncRNA, exerting various cellular activities, as does ncRNA, including the regulation of gene expression and chromatin remodeling. The abnormal expression of lincRNAs can induce or suppress carcinogenesis. MAIN BODY LincRNAs can regulate cancer progression through different mechanisms and are considered as potential drug targets. Genetic variations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in lincRNAs may affect gene expression and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) stability. SNPs in lincRNAs have been found to be associated with different types of cancer, as well. Specifically, LINC00511 has been known to promote the progression of multiple malignancies such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and others, making it a promising cancer prognostic molecular marker. CONCLUSION LincRNAs have been proved to be associated with different cancer types through various pathways. Herein, we performed a comprehensive literature and in silico databases search listing lncRNAs, lincRNAs including LINC00511, lncRNAs' SNPs, as well as LINC00511 SNPs in different cancer types, focusing on their role in various cancer types and mechanism(s) of action.

[PMID: 37650010 PMCID: PMC10464886 DOI: 10.2147/pgpm.s424326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Cancer development and tumor immune microenvironment remodeling are closely linked to pyroptosis and inflammasome activation. However, little information is available in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pyroptosis and inflammasome-related genes in patients with lung cancer. This study aims to evaluate the associations between pyroptosis-related gene (NLRP3, NLRC4, and NLRP7) polymorphisms and the risk of lung cancer. Methods The MassARRAY platform was used to genotype six SNPs of the NLRP3, NLRC4, and NLRP7 genes in 660 lung cancer cases and 660 controls. Results Individuals with rs35829419-A, rs385076-C, and rs775882-T alleles exhibited a higher risk of lung cancer (p < 0.01), while rs212704-T appears protective (p = 0.006). The rs35829419-AA, rs385076-TC/CC, and rs775882-CT/TT genotypes were associated with various degrees of elevated risk of lung cancer (p<0.02), whereas rs212704-TT was associated with a reduced risk of the disease (p=0.014). Genetic models analysis showed that rs35829419, rs385076, and rs775882 was associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, while rs212704 was related to a reduced risk in all three models (p < 0.05). The four SNPs remained significant in smoker and nonsmoker subgroups (p < 0.05). However, rs35829419 was correlated with risk of adenocarcinoma and small cell lung cancer, and rs212704 was only protective for squamous cell carcinoma. The rs385076 and rs775882 were associated with all three pathological types (p < 0.01). Conclusion Besides providing candidate markers for identification of high-risk populations and early prevention of the disease, our research also provided new insight into anti-tumor strategies targeting inflammasomes and pyroptosis.

A comprehensive analysis of lung cancer highlighting epidemiological factors and psychiatric comorbidities from the All of Us Research Program. Sci Rep 2023; 13:10852. [PMID: 37407606 PMCID: PMC10322929 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-37585-0] [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: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States. Investigating epidemiological and clinical parameters can contribute to an improved understanding of disease development and management. In this cross-sectional, case-control study, we used the All of Us database to compare healthcare access, family history, smoking-related behaviors, and psychiatric comorbidities in light smoking controls, matched smoking controls, and primary and secondary lung cancer patients. We found a decreased odds of primary lung cancer patients versus matched smoking controls reporting inability to afford follow-up or specialist care. Additionally, we found a significantly increased odds of secondary lung cancer patients having comorbid anxiety and insomnia when compared to matched smoking controls. Our study provides a profile of the psychiatric disease burden in lung cancer patients and reports key epidemiological factors in patients with primary and secondary lung cancer. By using two controls, we were able to separate smoking behavior from lung cancer and identify factors that were mediated by heavy smoking alone or by both smoking and lung cancer.

[PMID: 35923305 PMCID: PMC9342429 DOI: 10.2147/pgpm.s372824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Cuproptosis is a novel copper-dependent cell death, and the copper level was increased in lung cancer patients. However, few studies evaluated the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in cuproptosis-related genes and lung cancer risk. Methods Six SNPs of the SLC31A1, FDX1 and ATP7B genes were genotyped in a case-control cohort including 650 lung cancer cases and 650 controls using the MassARRAY platform. Results The minor alleles of SLC31A1-rs10981694 and FDX1-rs10488764 were associated with an increased risk of lung cancer (rs10981694: OR=1.455, 95% CI: 1.201-1.763, p<0.001; rs10488764: OR=1.483, 95% CI: 1.244-1.768, p<0.001). In contrast, the minor alleles of rs9535826 and rs9535828 in ATP7B were related to a decreased risk of the disease (rs9535826: OR=0.714, 95% CI: 0.608-0.838 p<0.001; rs9535828: OR=0.679, 95% CI: 0.579-0.796, p<0.001). The frequencies of rs10981694-TG/GG and rs10488764-GA/AA genotypes were significantly higher in lung cancer cases than that in controls, making them risk genotypes for the disease (p < 0.001); while the rs9535826-TG/GG and rs9535828-GA/AA genotypes were protective genotypes and associated with a reduced risk of the disease (p<0.001). Genetic model evaluation revealed that SLC31A1-rs10981694 and FDX1-rs10488764 were associated with a growing risk of lung cancer in dominant, recessive and log-additive models (p<0.001). Moreover, rs9535826 and rs9535828 in ATP7B were related to a declining risk of the disease in three genetic models (p<0.001). In addition, stratification analysis showed that FDX1-rs10488764 was risk variant for lung cancer in both smokers and nonsmokers, and was associated with risk of each pathological type of lung cancer (p<0.008). Conclusion The results shed new light on the correlation between cuproptosis-related genes and risk of lung cancer.
