Abstract
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is type of aggressive tumor, with a markedly declined survival rate when distant metastasis occurs. It is of great significance to develop potential biomarkers to evaluate the progression of PTC. LncRNAs are recently widely claimed with biomarker value in malignant tumors. Herein, the role of LncRNA PFAR in PTC was investigated to explore potential prognostic marker for PTC. Compared to NTHY-ORI 3-1 cells, LncRNA PFAR was found markedly upregulated in PTC cell lines. In LncRNA PFAR knockdown TPC-1 cells, markedly declined cell viability, increased apoptotic rate, enhancive number of migrated cells, and elevated migration distance were observed, accompanied by a suppressed activity of the RET/AKT/mTOR signaling. In LncRNA PFAR overexpressed BCPAP cells, signally increased cell viability, declined apoptotic rate, reduced number of migrated cells, decreased migration distance, and increased tumor volume and tumor weight in nude mice xenograft model were observed, accompanied by an activation of the RET/AKT/mTOR signaling. The binding site between LncRNA PFAR and miR-15a, as well as miR-15a and RET, was confirmed by the dual luciferase reporter assay. The FISH study revealed that LncRNA PFAR was mainly located in the cytoplasm. Furthermore, the impact of the siRNA targeting LncRNA PFAR against the growth and migration of PTC cells was abolished by the inhibitor of miR-15a or SC79, an activator of AKT/mTOR signaling. Collectively, LncRNA PFAR facilitated the proliferation and migration of PTC cells by mediating the miR-15a/RET axis.

Abstract
To explore and analyze the correlation between LncRNA TDRG1 expression degree and the prognosis of cervical carcinoma tissues. The cervical cancer tissues and para-carcinoma tissues of 106 patients with cervical carcinoma surgically removed in our hospital were chosen as specimens. LncRNA TDRG1 expression in cervical carcinoma tissues and para-carcinoma tissues was inspected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, and the correlation between LncRNA TDRG1 and the clinicopathological parameters and disease prognosis was analyzed. The relative expression of LncRNA TDRG1 in cervical carcinoma tissues was critically gone up (P < 0.05) compared to para-carcinoma tissues. The relative expression of LncRNA TDRG1 in cervical carcinoma was correlated with FIGO staging, lymph node metastasis, infiltrating depth of cervical basal, and the differentiation of cancer cells (P < 0.05). According to the results of the Kaplan-Meier curve and Log-rank test, the overall survival conditions of subjects with low-lncRNA TDRG1 were superior to that of those with high-lncRNA TDRG1 expression (P < 0.05). The expression of LncRNA TDRG1 in cervical carcinoma tissues and the clinicopathological features in predicting the overall survival (OS) in sufferers with cervical carcinoma were investigated by the Cox regression model. LncRNA TDRG1 expression in cervical carcinoma tissues is tightly associated with the progression and prognosis of cervical carcinoma, which may be a latent biological indicator for clinical diagnosis and prognosis of cervical carcinoma.

Abstract
Gynecologic cancer is a significant cause of death in women worldwide, with cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, and endometrial cancer being among the most well-known types. The initiation and progression of gynecologic cancers involve a variety of biological functions, including angiogenesis and metastasis-given that death mostly occurs from metastatic tumors that have invaded the surrounding tissues. Therefore, understanding the molecular pathways underlying gynecologic cancer metastasis is critical for enhancing patient survival and outcomes. Recent research has revealed the contribution of numerous non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) to metastasis and invasion of gynecologic cancer by affecting specific cellular pathways. This review focuses on three types of gynecologic cancer (ovarian, endometrial, and cervical) and three kinds of ncRNAs (long non-coding RNAs, microRNAs, and circular RNAs). We summarize the detailed role of non-coding RNAs in the different pathways and molecular interactions involved in the invasion and metastasis of these cancers.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNA papillary thyroid carcinoma susceptibility candidate 3 (LncRNA PTCSC3) is located on human chromosome 14q13.3. PTCSC3 functions as a tumor suppressor lncRNA to regulate essential cellular processes such as apoptosis, cell proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. PTCSC3 is also involved in the regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, aerobic glycolysis, and p53 pathways. Downregulation of PTCSC3 has been associated with an increased risk of many tumors such as thyroid, gastric, laryngeal, breast, cervical, oral, lung, and glioma cancers. In addition, dysregulation of PTCSC3 has been reported in non-cancerous disorders notably osteoporosis and periodontitis. However, a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms at PTCSC3 have been linked to a higher risk of human diseases. This literature review summarizes the diagnostic, prognostic, and the clinical value of abnormal expression of PTCSC3 in cancerous and non-cancerous disorders and comprehensively analyzes potential molecular regulatory mechanism related to PTCSC3, which is expected to provide clear guidance for future PTCSC3 research.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is among the leading causes of cancer-associated mortality in women. In spite of vaccine availability, improved screening procedures, and chemoradiation therapy, cervical cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer in 23 countries and the leading cause of cancer deaths in 36 countries. There is, therefore, a need to come up with novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a remarkable role in genome regulation and contribute significantly to several developmental and disease pathways. The deregulation of lncRNAs is often observed in cancer patients, where they are shown to affect multiple cellular processes, including cell cycle, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and invasion. Many lncRNAs are found to be involved in the pathogenesis as well as progression of cervical cancer and have shown potency to track metastatic events. This review provides an overview of lncRNA mediated regulation of cervical carcinogenesis and highlights their potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers as well as therapeutic targets for cervical cancer. In addition, it also discusses the challenges associated with the clinical implication of lncRNAs in cervical cancer.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small, single-stranded, non-coding RNAs approximately 22 nucleotides in length. The dysregulation of miRNAs has been widely investigated in various pathological processes, including tumorigenesis, providing a biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. As a member of the miRNA family, miR-574-5p is located on the human chromosome 4p14 and is highly correlated with a high incidence of human cancers. Functional pathways as well as underlying novel mechanisms upregulate or downregulate miR-574-5p, which plays an important regulatory role in tumorigenesis and progression. In this review, we systematically summarize the context-dependent implications of miR-574-5p and review differences in miR-574-5p expression in cancer. We also investigate the intricate functions exerted by miR-574-5p in diverse pathological processes and highlight regulatory pathways, networks, and other underlying novel mechanisms. The clinical applications of miR-574-5p as a diagnostic biomarker, prognostic biomarker, and therapeutic mechanism are also discussed in this paper. On this basis, we anticipate that miR-574-5p will be a promising and effective biomarker and therapeutic target.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is one of the most common female malignancies. Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the main causative agents of virtually all cervical carcinomas. Nevertheless, emerging evidence has demonstrated that a small proportion of cervical cancer patients are HPV negative. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified to play a crucial role in cervical cancer development. Here, this review describes the incidence and development of HPV-negative cervical cancer. Moreover, HPV-negative cervical cancers are more likely diagnosed at non-squamous type, older ages, more advanced stage and metastases, and associated with poorer prognosis as compared to HPV-positive cervical cancer. Furthermore, the significant role and functions of lncRNAs underlying HPV-negative cervical cancer is clarified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most common forms of head and neck cancers. However, few studies have focused on the correlation between competing endogenous RNA (ceRNAs) and immune cells in LSCC. METHODS RNAseq expression of LSCC and adjacent tissues were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas to establish a ceRNA network. The key gene in ceRNA was screened by the cox regression analysis to establish a prognostic risk assessment model. The CIBERSORT algorithm was then used to screen important tumor-infiltrating cells related to LSCC. Finally, co-expression analysis was applied to explore the relationship between key genes in the ceRNA network and tumor-infiltrating cells. The external datasets were used to validate critical biomarkers. RESULTS We constructed a prognostic risk assessment model of key genes in the ceRNA network. As it turned out, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed significant differences in overall survival rates between high-risk and low-risk groups (P < .001). The survival rate of the high-risk group was drastically lower than that of the low-risk group, and the AUC of 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years were all above 0.7. In addition, some immune infiltrating cells were also found to be related to LSCC. In the co-expression analysis, there is a negative correlation between plasma cells and TUBB3 (r = -0.33, P = .0013). External dataset validation also supports this result. CONCLUSION In this study, we found that some key genes (SLC35C1, CLDN23, HOXB7, STC2, TMEM158, TNFRSF4, TUBB3) and immune cells (plasma cells) may correspond to the prognosis of LSCC.

Abstract
Deregulated lncRNA DSCAM-AS1 expression was found in several tumors. However, mechanism and functional role of DSCAM-AS1 in cervical carcinoma remain unknown. DSCAM-AS1 was detected in cervical carcinoma specimens and cells by RT-qPCR. CCK-8, Matrigel transwell, and flow cytometry were conducted to determine cell functions. In this research, we firstly we explored DSCAM-AS1 expression in cervical carcinoma cells and specimens. We revealed that DSCAM-AS1 was upregulated in cervical carcinoma lines (C4-1, Caski, Hela, and Siha) compared to GH329 cells. DSCAM-AS1 was upregulated in cervical carcinoma specimens compared to control no-tumor specimens. Overexpression of DSCAM-AS1 induced cervical carcinoma cell growth and cycle. Moreover, our data revealed that miR-338-3p expression was downregulated in cervical carcinoma cells and specimens. There was a negative correlation between miR-338-3p expression and DSCAM-AS1 expression in cervical carcinoma specimens. Elevated expression of miR-338-3p decreased cervical carcinoma cell growth and cycle and invasion. Furthermore, luciferase reporter analysis revealed that miR-338-3p overexpression suppressed luciferase activity of WT-DSCAM-AS1 vector but not the mut-DSCAM-AS1. Ectopic expression of DSCAM-AS1 decreased miR-338-3p expression in the Siha cell. Overexpression of DSCAM-AS1 promoted cervical carcinoma cell growth and cycle via regulating miR-338-3p. These results suggested that DSCAM-AS1 functions as one oncogene through sponging miR-338-3p in cervical carcinoma.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative tumors distinguish from cancers associated with HPV infection. Due to its high rate of lymph node metastasis and difficulty in inchoate discover and diagnosis, the treatment efficacy of HPV-negative cancers is unsatisfactory. Epidemiological evidence suggests that HPV-negative tumor patients have a poor prognosis, and the mortality is higher than that of cancer patients caused by HPV infection. Evidence has demonstrated that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play a crucial role in regulation of physiological and developmental processes. Therefore, dysregulated ncRNAs are involved in the occurrence of diversified diseases, including cancer. In cumulative studies, ncRNAs are concerned with pathogenetic mechanisms of HPV-negative tumors via regulating gene expression and signal transduction. It is important to decipher the functions of ncRNAs in HPV-negative cancers and identify the potential biomarkers, which will bring new treatment strategies for improving outcome of cancer therapy. In this review, we demonstrated the effects of ncRNAs via regulating the development and progression of HPV- negative tumors by directly or indirectly acting on target molecules, which provide a basis for future tumor targeted therapy by targeting ncRNAs for HPV-negative cancers.

Abstract
Despite the remarkable decrease in cervical cancer incidence due to the availability of the HPV vaccine and implementation of screening programs for early detection in developed countries, this cancer remains a major health problem globally, especially in developing countries where most of the cases and mortality occur. Therefore, more understanding of molecular mechanisms of cervical cancer development might lead to the discovery of more effective diagnosis and treatment options. Research on long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) demonstrates the important roles of these molecules in many physiological processes and diseases, especially cancer. In the present review, we discussed the significance of lncRNAs altered expression in cervical cancer, highlighting their roles in regulating highly conserved signaling pathways, such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) pathways and their association with the progression of cervical cancer in order to bring more insight and understanding of this disease and their potential implications in cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is the main treatment used for cancer patients failing surgery. Doxorubicin (DOX) is a well-known chemotherapeutic agent capable of suppressing proliferation in cancer cells and triggering apoptosis via inhibiting topoisomerase II activity and producing DNA breaks. This activity of DOX restrains mitosis and cell cycle progression. However, frequent application of DOX results in the emergence of resistance in the cancer cells. It seems that genetic and epigenetic factors can provide DOX resistance of cancer cells. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a subcategory of non-coding RNAs with role in the regulation of several cellular processes such as proliferation, migration, differentiation and apoptosis. LncRNA dysregulation has been associated with chemoresistance, and this profile occurs upon DOX treatment of cancer. In the present review, we focus on the role of lncRNAs in mediating DOX resistance and discuss the molecular pathways and mechanisms. LncRNAs can drive DOX resistance via activating pathways such as NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, Wnt, and FOXC2. Some lncRNAs can activate protective autophagy in response to the stress caused by DOX, which mediates resistance. In contrast, there are other lncRNAs involved in the sensitivity of cancer cells to DOX, such as GAS5, PTCSC3 and FENDRR. Some anti-tumor agents such as polydatin can regulate the expression of lncRNAs, enhancing DOX sensitivity. Overall, lncRNAs are potential players in DOX resistance, and their identification and targeting are of importance in chemosensitivity. Furthermore, these findings can be translated into clinical for treatment of cancer patients.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with insulin resistance, diabetes, and obesity-related metabolic disorders. Brown adipocytes have emerged as potential targets for the treatment of obesity and obesity-related diseases. However, changes that occur in brown adipose tissue during various stages of high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity remain poorly understood. The present study aimed to determine the changes occurring in brown adipose tissue during various stages of an HFD by analyzing two microarray expression profiles. A total of 1,337 differentially expressed RNAs (DE RNAs) were identified between the HFD and ND groups, using the limma package in R. The DE RNAs included 1,249 mRNAs, 74 long non coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and 14 pseudogenes. Functional annotation of the DE mRNAs, including GO terms and KEGG pathways were identified using the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed using STRING and clusters were obtained through the Molecular Complex Detection plug-in. In the present study, the lncRNA,maternally expressed gene 3 (Meg3), was identified as the DE lncRNA with a significant fold change. The network of Meg3 as a ceRNA was constructed, which demonstrated that Meg3 modulated five hub DE mRNAs via competitive binding to microRNAs.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) remains the most devastating primary central nervous system malignancy with a median survival of around 15 months. The past decades of research have not yielded significant advancements in the treatment of GBM. In that same time, a novel class of molecules, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), has been found to play a multitude of roles in cancer and normal biology. The increased accessibility of next generation sequencing technologies and the advent of lncRNA-specific microarrays have facilitated the study of lncRNA etiology. Molecular and computational methods can be applied to predict lncRNA function. LncRNAs can serve as molecular decoys, scaffolds, super-enhancers, or repressors. These molecules can serve as phenotypic switches for GBM cells at the expression and/or epigenetic levels. LncRNAs can affect stemness/differentiation, proliferation, invasion, survival, DNA damage response, and chromatin dynamics. Aberrant expression of these transcripts may facilitate therapy resistance, leading to tumor recurrence. LncRNAs could serve as novel theragnostic or prognostic biomarkers in GBM and other cancers. RNA-based therapeutics may also be employed to target lncRNAs as a novel route of treatment for primary or recurrent GBM. In this review, we explore the roles of lncRNAs in GBM pathophysiology and posit their novel therapeutic potential for GBM.

Abstract
Background Propofol has been reported to be related to the migration, invasion, and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) of esophageal cancer (EC) cells. However, the detailed mechanism has not yet been fully reported. The purpose of this research was to elucidate the function of long non‐coding RNA TMPO antisense RNA 1 (lncRNA TMPO‐AS1) and microRNA‐498 (miR‐498) in propofol‐regulated EC. Methods Transwell assay was performed to assess cell migratory and invasive abilities. Western blot assay was employed to determine the levels of EMT markers and hypoxia inducible factor‐1 (HIF‐1α). Quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) was carried out to detect the levels of TMPO‐AS1 and miR‐498. Moreover, the interaction between TMPO‐AS1 and miR‐498 was predicted by starBase, and then confirmed by the dual‐luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. Results Propofol suppressed hypoxia‐induced EC cell migration, invasion, and EMT. Both TMPO‐AS1 overexpression and miR‐498 knockdown weakened the effect of propofol on hypoxia‐induced EC cell progression. Interestingly, TMPO‐AS1 targeted miR‐498 and suppressed miR‐498 expression. TMPO‐AS1 regulated EC cell progression via downregulating miR‐498 expression. Conclusions Collectively, our findings demonstrated that propofol inhibited hypoxia‐induced EC cell mobility through modulation of the TMPO‐AS1/miR‐498 axis, providing a theoretical basis for the treatment of EC.

Long Noncoding RNA ZFPM2-AS1 Enhances the Malignancy of Cervical Cancer by Functioning as a Molecular Sponge of microRNA-511-3p and Consequently Increasing FGFR2 Expression. Cancer Manag Res 2020; 12:567-580. [PMID: 32158261 PMCID: PMC6986931 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s238373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2019] [Accepted: 12/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose A long noncoding RNA called ZFPM2 antisense RNA 1 (ZFPM2-AS1) has been verified as a key modulator in multiple human cancer types. Nonetheless, the expression and functions of ZFPM2-AS1 in cervical cancer remain poorly understood. Therefore, our purpose was to characterize the expression pattern, clinical value, and detailed roles of ZFPM2-AS1 in cervical cancer. Methods Reverse-transcription quantitative PCR was carried out to measure ZFPM2-AS1 expression in cervical cancer. A Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, Transwell migration and invasion assays, and a tumor xenograft experiment were conducted to determine the influence of ZFPM2-AS1 on cervical cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion in vitro and on tumor growth in vivo, respectively. Results ZFPM2-AS1 was found to be aberrantly upregulated in cervical cancer, and its upregulation was associated with unfavorable values of clinical parameters. A ZFPM2-AS1 knockdown significantly reduced cervical cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and increased apoptosis in vitro. The ZFPM2-AS1 knockdown decelerated tumor growth of cervical cancer cells in vivo. Molecular investigation indicated that ZFPM2-AS1 acts as a molecular sponge of microRNA-511-3p (miR-511-3p) in cervical cancer cells. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) mRNA was validated as a direct target of miR-511-3p in cervical cancer, and its expression was positively modulated by ZFPM2-AS1. The effects of the ZFPM2-AS1 knockdown on malignant characteristics of cervical cancer cells were greatly attenuated by miR-511-3p inhibition. Conclusion ZFPM2-AS1 promotes cervical cancer progression through upregulation of miR-511-3p–FGFR2 axis output, thereby pointing to possible diagnostics and therapeutics based on the ZFPM2-AS1–miR-511-3p–FGFR2 pathway.
