Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has been a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Early intervention can significantly improve prognosis. DNA methylation could occur in the early stage of tumor. Comprehensive understanding the epigenetic landscape of early-stage LUAD is crucial in understanding tumorigenesis. METHODS Enzymatic methyl sequencing (EM-seq) was performed on 23 tumors and paired normal tissue to reveal distinct epigenetic landscape, for compared with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) 450K methylation microarray data. Then, an integrative analysis was performed combined with TCGA LUAD RNA-seq data to identify significant differential methylated and expressed genes. Subsequently, the prognostic risk model was constructed and cellular composition was analyzed. RESULTS Methylome analysis of EM-seq comparing tumor and normal tissues identified 25 million cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites and 30,187 differentially methylated regions (DMR) with a greater number of untraditional types. EM-seq identified a significantly higher number of CpG sites and DMRs compared to the 450K microarray. By integrating the differentially methylated genes (DMGs) with LUAD-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from the TCGA database, we constructed prognostic model based on six differentially methylated-expressed genes (MEGs) and verified our prognostic model in GSE13213 and GSE42127 dataset. Finally, cell deconvolution based on the in-house EM-seq methylation profile was used to estimate cellular composition of early-stage LUAD. CONCLUSIONS This study firstly delves into novel pattern of epigenomic DNA methylation and provides a multidimensional analysis of the role of DNA methylation revealed by EM-seq in early-stage LUAD, providing distinctive insights into its potential epigenetic mechanisms.

Abstract
T helper (Th) cells are central members of adaptive immunity and comprise the last line of defense against pathogen infection and malignant cell invasion by secreting specific cytokines. These cytokines then attract or induce the activation and differentiation of other immune cells, including antibody-producing B cells and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. Therefore, the bidirectional communication between Th cells and tumor cells and their positioning within the tumor microenvironment (TME), especially the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), sculpt the tumor immune landscape, which affects disease initiation and progression. The type, number, and condition of Th cells in the TME and TIME strongly affect tumor immunity, which is precisely regulated by key effectors, such as granzymes, perforins, cytokines, and chemokines. Moreover, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of Th cells. In this review, we discuss the role of miRNAs in regulating Th cell mediated adaptive immunity, focusing on the development, activation, fate decisions, and tumor immunity.

Abstract
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a T cell-mediated inflammatory-immune disease in which CD4+ T cells may be significantly involved in the dysregulated immune response. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) critically control gene expression post-transcriptionally and regulate the immune response and inflammation. Here, we explored the expression profiles of circulating miRs (miR-19b, miR-31, and miR-181a), which can modulate CD4+ T cell activation, differentiation, and immune function. Quantitative real-time PCR showed that miR-31 and miR-181a dramatically decreased in peripheral CD4+ T cells, whereas they markedly increased in the plasma of OLP patients, especially in the erosive form. However, no significant differences were observed in the expression of miR-19b in CD4+ T cells and plasma between OLP patients and healthy controls or between different forms of OLP. Moreover, miR-31 expression positively correlated with the miR-181a expression in the CD4+ T cells and plasma of OLP patients. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses indicated that miR-31 and miR-181a, rather than miR-19b, in CD4+ T cells and plasma could discriminate OLP, especially erosive OLP, from healthy controls. In conclusion, there were different expression profiles of circulating miR-31 and miR-181a in CD4+ T cells and plasma of patients with OLP, which could synergistically serve as potential biomarkers for OLP.

Abstract
Inflammation, a hallmark of cancer, has been associated with tumor progression, transition into malignant phenotype and efficacy of the chemotherapeutic agents in cancer. Chronic inflammation provides a favorable environment for tumorigenesis by inducing immunosuppression, whereas acute inflammation prompts tumor suppression by generating anti-tumor immune responses. Inflammatory factors derived from interstitial cells or tumor cells can stimulate cell proliferation and survival by modulating oncogenes and/or tumor suppressors. Recently, a new class of RNAs, i.e., circular RNAs (circRNAs), has been implicated in inflammatory diseases. Although there are reports on circRNAs imparting functions in inflammatory insults, whether these circularized transcripts hold the potential to regulate inflammation-induced cancer or tumor-related inflammation, and modulate the interactions between tumor microenvironment (TME) and the inflammatory stromal/immune cells, awaits further elucidation. Contextually, the current review describes the molecular association between inflammation and cancer, and spotlights the regulatory mechanisms by which circRNAs can moderate TME in response to inflammatory signals/triggers. We also present comprehensive information about the immune cell(s)-specific expression and functions of the circRNAs in TME, modulation of inflammatory signaling pathways to drive tumorigenesis, and their plausible roles in inflammasomes and tumor development. Moreover, the therapeutic potential of these circRNAs in harnessing inflammatory responses in cancer is also discussed.

Abstract
Breast cancer remains the most common malignancy and the leading cause of cancer‑associated mortality in women worldwide. Lysosomal protein transmembrane 5 (LAPTM5), a lysosomal membrane protein, plays an important role in several human malignancies. However, the biological functions and mechanism of LAPTM5 in breast cancer remain unclear. In the present study, the potential tumor‑promoting effect of LAPTM5 was predicted by bioinformatics analysis. LAPTM5 was highly expressed in breast cancer clinical specimens. Moreover, in vitro studies demonstrated that cell proliferation, migration and invasion, as well as the process of epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) were promoted by LAPTM5 overexpression and were suppressed by LAPTM5 downregulation in vitro. The tumor‑promoting effects of LAPTM5 were also confirmed by xenograft tumor assay in vivo. It was found that the tumor‑promoting effects of LAPTM5 were partly dependent on the activation of the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway. Furthermore, dual‑luciferase and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays verified that the transcription factor forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) directly bound to the promoter of LAPTM5 and negatively regulated its expression. Taken together, the present findings indicated that LAPTM5, negatively regulated by FOXP3, promoted the malignant phenotypes of breast cancer through activating the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Oral lichen planus (OLP) and pemphigus vulgaris (PV) are 2 common inflammatory mucocutaneous diseases of immune-based etiology. Evidence indicates regulatory T (Treg) cells maybe play a role in the pathogenesis of OLP and PV, which are caused by aberrant immune responses. In this report, 7 eligible case-control studies containing 517 OLP patients and 261 healthy controls (HC) were identified. The level of Tregs was significantly higher in OLP patients than HC (mean difference: 1.79; 95%CI: 0.99, 2.60). On the other hand, 7 eligible case-control studies containing 169 PV patients and 121 HC were identified. Conversely, the level of Tregs was significantly lower in PV patients than HC (mean difference: -2.49; 95%CI: -3.90, -1.08). Collectively, this analysis for the first time reported reciprocal emergence of Tregs in OLP and PV using meta-analysis, and provided an interesting insight into a previously undescribed the linkage of the 2 mucocutaneous diseases.

Abstract
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are transcribed from the genomes of mammals and other complex organisms, and many of them are alternately spliced and processed into smaller products. Types of ncRNAs include microRNAs (miRNAs), circular RNAs, and long ncRNAs. miRNAs are about 21 nucleotides long and form a broad class of post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression that affect numerous developmental and physiological processes in eukaryotes. They usually act as negative regulators of mRNA expression through complementary binding sequences in the 3’-UTR of the target mRNA, leading to translation inhibition and target degradation. In recent years, the importance of ncRNA in oral lichen planus (OLP), particularly miRNA, has attracted extensive attention. However, the biological functions of miRNAs and their mechanisms in OLP are still unclear. In this review, we discuss the role and function of miRNAs in OLP, and we also describe their potential functional roles as biomarkers for the diagnosis of OLP. MiRNAs are promising new therapeutic targets, but more work is needed to understand their biological functions.

Abstract
Inflammation is a multifactorial process and various biological mechanisms and pathways participate in its development. The presence of inflammation is involved in pathogenesis of different diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and even, cancer. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) comprise large part of transcribed genome and their critical function in physiological and pathological conditions has been confirmed. The present review focuses on miRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs as ncRNAs and their potential functions in inflammation regulation and resolution. Pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors are regulated by miRNAs via binding to 3'-UTR or indirectly via affecting other pathways such as SIRT1 and NF-κB. LncRNAs display a similar function and they can also affect miRNAs via sponging in regulating levels of cytokines. CircRNAs mainly affect miRNAs and reduce their expression in regulating cytokine levels. Notably, exosomal ncRNAs have shown capacity in inflammation resolution. In addition to pre-clinical studies, clinical trials have examined role of ncRNAs in inflammation-mediated disease pathogenesis and cytokine regulation. The therapeutic targeting of ncRNAs using drugs and nucleic acids have been analyzed to reduce inflammation in disease therapy. Therefore, ncRNAs can serve as diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic targets in inflammation-related diseases in pre-clinical and clinical backgrounds.
