Abstract
ABSTRACT Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 ( MALAT1 ) is a well-established oncogenic long non-coding RNA, the higher expression of which is strongly correlated with cancer events such as tumorigenesis, progression, metastasis, drug resistance, and treatment outcome in solid cancers. Recently, a series of studies has highlighted its potential role in hematological malignancies in terms of these events. Similar to solid cancers, MALAT1 can regulate various target genes via sponging and epigenetic mechanisms, but the miRNAs sponged by MALAT1 differ from those identified in solid cancers. In this review, we systematically describe the role and underlying mechanisms of MALAT1 in multiple types of hematological malignancies, including regulation of cell proliferation, metastasis, stress response, and glycolysis. Clinically, MALAT1 expression is related to poor treatment outcome and drug resistance, therefore exhibiting potential prognostic value in multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and leukemia. Finally, we discuss the evaluation of MALAT1 as a novel therapeutic target against cancer in preclinical studies.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to construct a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network related to long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) via the bioinformatics analysis, reveal the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CAD) and develop new biomarkers for CAD. The gene expression datasets of peripheral blood of CAD were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed mRNAs, miRNAs and lncRNAs (DEmRNAs, DEmiRNAs and DElncRNAs) were identified. Subsequently, a ceRNA network involving lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs was built. Moreover, DElncRNAs in the cytoplasm were screened and a DElncRNA-associated ceRNA network was established. In total, 1860 DEmRNAs, 393 DElncRNAs and 20 DEmiRNAs were filtrated in patients with CAD compared with normal controls. Functional analysis suggested that DEmRNAs significantly enriched in CAD-related pathways, such as PI3K-Akt signaling pathways and MAPK signaling pathway. The ceRNA network contained 12 DEmiRNAs, 30 DElncRNAs and 537 DEmRNAs. Afterwards, the cytoplasm ceRNA network was consisted of 537 DEmRNAs, 12 DEmiRNAs and 12 DElncRNAs. Such as, up-regulated LncRNA-HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) was interacted with down-regulated has-miR-326 and has-miR-1. The successful construction of lncRNA-associated ceRNA network is helpful to better clarify the pathogenesis of CAD and provide potential peripheral blood biomarkers for CAD.

Abstract
Now recognized as more than just the result of overeating or the consumption of poor-quality foods, obesity is understood to be a multifactorial disease, strongly correlated with a variety of environment-gene interactions. In addressing the complex public health issue of obesity, medical practitioners, along with their allied healthcare counterparts, face the challenge of reducing its prevalence by utilizing and sharing with patients the current, yet incomplete, scientific knowledge concerning the disease. While continued research is required to strengthen direct cause-effect relationships, substantial evidence links post-translational modifications such as DNA methylation and histone modifications of several candidate "obesity" genes to the predilection for obesity. Additional evidence supports the influence of maternal diet during the gestational period, individual diet, and other lifestyle and genetic factors in obesity. The purpose of this review is to synthesize the current information concerning epigenetic modifications that appear to support, or result from, the development of obesity. Such mechanisms may serve as therapeutic targets for developing novel prevention and/or treatment strategies for obesity or as epigenetic biomarkers for monitoring recovery.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) reportedly function as important modulators of gene regulation and malignant processes in the development of human cancers. The lncRNA JPX is a novel molecular switch for X chromosome inactivation and differentially expressed JPX has exhibited certain clinical correlations in several cancers. Notably, JPX participates in cancer growth, metastasis, and chemoresistance, by acting as a competing endogenous RNA for microRNA, interacting with proteins, and regulating some specific signaling pathways. Moreover, JPX may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer. The present article summarizes our current understanding of the structure, expression, and function of JPX in malignant cancer processes and discusses its molecular mechanisms and potential applications in cancer biology and medicine.

Abstract
Brain metastasis is considered the most common brain tumor. They arise from different primary cancers. The most common primary tumors giving brain metastases include breast, colorectal, lung, melanoma, and renal cancer. Depending only on history, physical examination, and conventional imaging modalities makes brain tumors diagnosis difficult. Rapid and non-invasive promising modalities could diagnose and differentiate between different brain metastases without exposing the patients to unnecessary brain surgeries for biopsies. One of these promising modalities is non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). NcRNAs can determine brain metastases' prognosis, chemoresistance, and radioresistance. It also helps us to understand the pathophysiology of brain metastases development. Additionally, ncRNAs may work as potential therapeutic targets for brain metastases treatment and prevention. Herein, we present deregulated ncRNAs in different brain metastases, including microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), such as gastric adenocarcinoma, colorectal, breast, melanoma, lung, and prostate cancer. Additionally, we focus on serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) expression of these ncRNAs in patients with brain metastases compared to patients with primary tumors. Moreover, we discuss the role of ncRNAs in modulating the immune response in the brain microenvironment. More clinical studies are encouraged to assess the specificity and sensitivity of these ncRNAs.

Abstract
Meningioma is considered the most common primary benign brain tumor. It originates from the arachnoid cells of the leptomeninges surrounding the brain. The mainstay treatment of meningiomas is microsurgical resection. Meningioma prognosis depends on tumor grade, location, and patient age. Recently, using non-coding RNA as a prognostic and diagnostic biomarker for many tumors became a trend. Herein, we demonstrate the importance of non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs and lncRNAs in meningioma and their potential role in meningioma's early diagnosis, prognosis, histological grade, and radiosensitivity. In this review, many microRNAs were found to be upregulated in radioresistant meningioma cells such as microRNA-221, microRNA-222, microRNA-4286, microRNA-4695-5p, microRNA-6732-5p, microRNA-6855-5p, microRNA-7977, microRNA-6765-3p, and microRNA-6787-5p. Moreover, there are many microRNAs downregulated in radioresistant meningioma cells such as microRNA-1275, microRNA-30c-1-3p, microRNA-4449, microRNA-4539, microRNA-4684-3p, microRNA-6129, and microRNA-6891-5p. Also, we highlight the possible use of non-coding RNAs as serum non-invasive biomarkers and their potential role as therapeutic targets to treat high-grade meningiomas. Recent studies show that microRNA-497, microRNA-195, microRNA-18a, microRNA-197, and microRNA-224 are downregulated in the serum of patients with meningiomas. Additionally, microRNA-106a-5p, microRNA-219-5p, microRNA-375, and microRNA-409-3p are found to be upregulated in the serum of patients with meningioma. We also found that there are many deregulated microRNAs in meningioma cells that can be used as potential biomarkers for meningioma diagnosis, prognosis, and histopathologic grade, such as microRNA-17-5p, microRNA-199a, microRNA-190a, microRNA-186-5p, microRNA155-5p, microRNA-22-3p, microRNA-24-3p, microRNA-26-5p, microRNA-27a-3p, microRNA-27b-3p, microRNA-96-5p, microRNA-146a-5p, microRNA-29c-3p, microRNA-219-5p, microRNA-335, microRNA-200a, microRNA-21, microRNA-107, microRNA-224, microRNA-195, microRNA-34a-3p, and microRNA-let-7d. Of interest, we found fewer studies discussing deregulated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in meningioma cells. LncRNAs work as competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) by binding to oncogenic or anti-oncogenic microRNAs. We found that lncRNA- NUP210, lncRNA-SPIRE2, lncRNA-SLC7A1, lncRNA-DMTN, lncRNA-LINC00702, and lncRNA-LINC00460 are upregulated in meningioma cells. In contrast, lncRNA-MALAT1 was found to be downregulated in meningioma cells.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a family of non-protein-coding RNAs that span a length of over 200 nucleotides. Research reports have illustrated that lncRNAs are involved in various cellular processes and that their abnormal expression leads to the occurrence and development of various tumors. Colon cancer-associated transcript 2 (CCAT2) was first reported as an oncogene in colon cancer. LncRNA CCAT2 is abnormally expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, glioma, and other tumors. In tumor tissues, abnormally overexpressed CCAT2 can affect cell proliferation, migration, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, apoptosis, and other biological behaviors through endogenous RNAs mechanisms, various signaling pathways, transcriptional regulation, and other complex mechanisms. Additionally, the overexpression of CCAT2 is also closely related to the tumor size, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage, survival time, and other prognostic factors, suggesting that it is a potential prognostic indicator. This article reviews the biological functions of CCAT2 and its mechanisms of action in tumors from previous studies. In this review, we attempt to provide a molecular basis for future clinical applications of lncRNA CCAT2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mortality and recurrence of patients with cancer is of high prevalence. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) forkhead box P4 antisense RNA 1 (FOXP4-AS1) is a promising lncRNA. There is increasing evidence that lncRNA FOXP4-AS1 is abnormally expressed in various tumors and is associated with cancer prognosis. This study was designed to identify the prognostic value of lncRNA FOXP4-AS1 in human malignancies. METHODS We searched electronic databases up to April 29, 2022, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, MEDLINE, and Web of Science. Eligible studies that evaluated the clinicopathological and prognostic role of lncRNA FOXP4-AS1 in patients with malignant tumors were included. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and the hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated to assess the role of lncRNA FOXP4-AS1 using Stata/SE 16.1 software. RESULTS A total of 6 studies on cancer patients were included in the present meta-analysis. The combined results revealed that high expression of lncRNA FOXP4-AS1 was significantly associated with unfavorable overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.99, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.65-2.39, P < .00001), and poor disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 1.81, 95% CI: 1.54-2.13, P < .00001) in a variety of cancers. In additional, the increase in lncRNA FOXP4-AS1 expression was also correlated with tumor size ((larger vs smaller) (OR = 3.16, 95% CI: 2.12-4.71, P < .00001), alpha-fetoprotein (≥400 vs <400) (OR = 3.81, 95%CI: 2.38-6.11, P = .83), lymph node metastasis (positive vs negative) (OR = 2.93, 95%CI: 1.51-5.68, P = .001), and age (younger vs older) (OR = 2.06, 95% CI: 1.41-3.00, P = .00002) in patients with cancer. Furthermore, analysis results using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset showed that the expression level of lncRNA FOXP4-AS1 was higher in most tumor tissues than in the corresponding normal tissues, which predicted a worse prognosis. CONCLUSIONS In this meta-analysis, we demonstrate that high lncRNA FOXP4-AS1 expression may become a potential marker to predict cancer prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Actin filament-associated protein 1 antisense RNA 1 (AFAP1-AS1) is associated with prognosis in many cancers. The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the potential correlation between AFAP1-AS1 and the prognosis of digestive system cancers (DSC). METHODS EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Wanfang Data (Chinese), and CNKI (Chinese) were comprehensively searched for literature published from the establishment of the database to September 2021.All case-control studies that met the inclusion criteria were retrieved; additionally manual retrieval and literature tracing was performed. After extracting the relevant data, Revman 5.3.5 software was used for meta-analysis. RESULTS Eighteen studies were included in analyses, high expression of AFAP1-AS1 was significantly correlated with poor prognosis in DSC, including overall survival (HR = 1.93, 95% CI: 1.72-2.17, P < .001) and disease-free survival/progression-free survival (HR = 1.87, 95% CI: 1.56-2.26, P < .001). In addition, the expression of AFAP1-AS1 was significantly correlated with tumor size, tumor stage, and lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSION High expression of AFAP1-AS1 was associated with poor prognosis in DSC. Therefore, it could be used as a potential marker for evaluating prognosis in DSC.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may modulate more than 60% of human coding genes and act as negative regulators, whereas long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate gene expression on multiple levels by interacting with chromatin, functional proteins, and RNAs such as mRNAs and microRNAs. However, the crosstalk between HOTTIP lncRNA and miRNAs in leukemogenesis remains elusive. Using combined integrated analyses of global miRNA expression profiling and state-of-the-art genomic analyses of chromatin such as ChIRP-seq (HOTTIP binding in genomewide), ChIP-seq, and ATAC-seq, we found that some miRNA genes are directly controlled by HOTTIP. Specifically, the HOX cluster miRNAs (miR-196a, miR-196b, miR-10a, and miR-10b), located cis and trans, were most dramatically regulated and significantly decreased in HOTTIP-/- AML cells. HOTTIP bound to the miR-196b promoter and HOTTIP deletion reduced chromatin accessibility and enrichment of active histone modifications at HOX cluster-associated miRNAs in AML cells, whereas reactivation of HOTTIP restored miR gene expression and chromatin accessibility in the CTCF-boundary-attenuated AML cells. Inactivation of HOTTIP or miR-196b promotes apoptosis by altering the chromatin signature at the FAS promoter and increasing FAS expression. Transplantation of miR-196b knockdown MOLM13 cells in NSG mice increased overall survival of mice compared to wild-type cells transplanted into mice. Thus, HOTTIP remodels the chromatin architecture around miRNAs to promote their transcription and consequently represses tumor suppressors and promotes leukemogenesis.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a form of iron-dependent programmed cell death. Regulation of ferroptosis in tumor cells is a novel treatment modality. The present study aimed to investigate ferroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and construct a prognostic model for colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). RNA- sequencing data and ferroptosis-related genes were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and FerrDb database. COAD patients were randomly assigned to training- and validation groups. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator regression and Cox regression model were used to determine and develop a predictive model. The model was corroborated using the validation group and the entire group. In total, 259 ferroptosis-related genes and 905 ferroptosis-related LncRNAs were obtained. Cox model revealed and constructed seven ferroptosis-related LncRNAs signature (LINC01503, AC004687.1, AC010973.2, AP001189.3, ARRDC1-AS1, OIP5-AS1, and NCK1-DT). Patients were assigned into two groups according to the median risk score. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that overall survival between high- and low-risk groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). Cox multivariate analysis seven ferroptosis-related LncRNAs signature was an independent risk factor for COAD outcomes (P<0.05). The relationship between seven ferroptosis-related LncRNAs and clinicopathological features was also examined. The principal component analysis showed a difference between high- and low-risk groups intuitively. With the aid of gene set enrichment analysis, the underlying mechanisms of seven ferroptosis-related LncRNAs were uncovered, including the MAPK signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway, and glutathione metabolism pathway. Finally, we established and validated seven ferroptosis-related lncRNAs signature for COAD patients to predict survival. These results may provide meaningful targets for future study.

Abstract
Small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) has recently been reported as a potential biomarker in various cancers. However, the prognostic value of SNHG16 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been investigated yet. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to reveal the association between SNHG16 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of HCC.Standards-compliant literature was retrieved from multiple public databases, and data on overall survival, disease-free survival, and clinicopathological characteristics related to SNGH16 were extracted and meta-analysis was performed. Additionally, the Cancer Genome Atlas data were analyzed through the gene expression profiling interactive analysis database to verify previous results.A total of 5 reports involving 410 patients with HCC were enrolled. The high expression of SNHG16 indicated worse overall survival (hazard ratio, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.22-3.60; P = .007) and disease-free survival (hazard ratio, 3.38; 95% CI, 1.10-10.40; P = .03). Additionally, the high expression of SNHG16 predicted a larger tumor size, metastasis, and advanced TNM stage.SNHG16 could serve as a potential biomarker of poor prognosis in HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The molecular mechanism of Glioma is still unclear, and there are few early diagnostic markers. Therefore, it is urgent to figure out effective preventive measures, active diagnostic methods and rapid treatment measures. In recent years, relevant studies have revealed that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is associated with the prognosis of Glioma. However, these results have not been supported by any evidence. Therefore, this study carried out a meta-analysis method to analyze the relationship between lncRNA and the prognosis of Glioma. In addition, bioinformatics analysis was conducted to investigate the mechanism and related pathways of lncRNAs in Glioma. METHODS We performed a systematic search in electronic databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical literature Database, Chinese Scientific and Journal Database, Wan Fang database, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science, to investigate the potential association between lncRNA expression and prognostic significance and clinical features in glioma patients. Hazards ratios (HRs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled to estimate the prognosis value of lncRNA by Stata16.0 software. The online tool AnnoLnc was applied to screen the co-expressed gene related to each lncRNA, David was used for gene ontology (GO) analysis and enrichment analysis of the signal pathway, and through Starbase, the possible competitive endogenous RNA network of lncRNAs was constructed. RESULTS The results of this meta-analysis would be submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publication. CONCLUSION This study will provide evidence-based medical evidence for lncRNA, so as to predict the prognosis of Glioma and bioinformatics analysis will provide ideas for the mechanism study on Glioma.

Abstract
Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) is the most significant threat to women's life. To demonstrate its molecular mechanisms, which results in BC progression, it is crucial to develop approaches to enhance prognosis and survival in BC cases.Areas covered: In the current study, we aimed to highlight the updated data on the oncogenic and tumor suppressive roles of lncRNAs in the progression of various subtypes of BC by specifically putting importance on the functional characteristics, modulatory agents, therapeutic potential, future perspectives and challenges of lncRNAs in BC. We reviewed recent studies published between 2019 and 2020.Expert opinion: The latest investigations have demonstrated that the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in different BC molecular subtypes via different molecular mechanisms; however, the exact functional information of the lncRNAs has yet to be elucidated. The studied lncRNAs could be more applicable as therapeutic targets in BC treatment after pre-clinical and clinical studies.

Abstract
Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may be exploited as potential therapeutic targets in gliomas. However, the prognostic value of EMT-related lncRNAs in gliomas is unclear. We obtained lncRNAs from The Cancer Genome Atlas and constructed EMT-related lncRNA co-expression networks to identify EMT-related lncRNAs. The Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) was used for validation. Gene set enrichment and principal component analyses were used for functional annotation. The EMT–lncRNA co-expression networks were constructed. A real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay was performed to validate the bioinformatics results. A nine-EMT-related lncRNAs (HAR1A, LINC00641, LINC00900, MIR210HG, MIR22HG, PVT1, SLC25A21-AS1, SNAI3-AS1, and SNHG18) signature was identified in patients with glioma. Patients in the low-risk group had a longer overall survival (OS) than those in the high-risk group (P < 0.0001). Additionally, patients in the high-risk group showed no deletion of chromosomal arms 1p and/or 19q, isocitrate dehydrogenase wild type, and higher World Health Organization grade. Moreover, the signature was identified as an independent factor and was significantly associated with OS (P = 0.041, hazard ratio = 1.806). These findings were further validated using the CGGA dataset. The low- and high-risk groups showed different EMT statuses based on principal component analysis. To study the regulatory function of lncRNAs, a lncRNA-mediated ceRNA network was constructed, which showed that complex interactions of lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA may be a potential cause of EMT progression in gliomas. This study showed that the nine-EMT-related lncRNA signature has a prognostic value in gliomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long noncoding RNAs play vital roles in development and progression of lung cancers. Nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) polymorphisms were reported to be closely related to lung cancer susceptibility. Recently, numerous studies have been performed to detect the association between NEAT1 polymorphisms and lung cancer susceptibility. However, their results were inconsistent and controversial. So, we carried out a meta-analysis aiming to define the association exactly. METHODS Appropriate studies were retrieved from searching Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google scholar databases, updated January 31, 2021. The pooled odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to estimate the strength of the association between NEAT1 polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. All of the data were analyzed with Stata 16.0. RESULTS The results of this meta-analysis will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis will summarize the relationship between NEAT1 polymorphism and lung cancer.

Abstract
A newly discovered long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is associated with the progression of a variety of tumors. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to explore further the relationship between clinicopathological features and the prognostic value of LINC00675 in caners.We searched the various database, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase together with Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure for articles on LINC00675 and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with cancers before February 20, 2020. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the studies that meet the criteria were systematically collected through search keywords. The Newcastle Ottawa document quality assessment system was used to evaluate the quality of documents. The required data from literature were extracted, and the hazard ratio (HR), odds ratio (OR), and 95confidence interval (CI) were calculated using stata12.0 software and RevMan5.3 software.A total of 5 studies covering 462 patients were included in this meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic value of LINC00675 in cancers. Our results showed that high LINC00675 expression was significantly correlated with poor overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.60, 95% CI: 1.23-2.08, P = .0005). Additionally, upregulated expression of LINC00675 was significantly associated with tumor node metastasis stage (OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.18-2.58, P = .006) and distant metastasis (OR = 2.22, 95% CI: 1.21-4.08, P = .01).Our study suggests that LINC00675 could be used as a biomarker to evaluate the prognosis of cancer patients. More studies to further confirm that the clinical value of LINC00675 in cancers will be required.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been evidenced to be associated with the development of multiple diseases. However, the expression pattern and function of lncRNAs in acute ischemic stroke remain unclear. To determine the differential expression of lncRNAs in acute ischemic stroke, we analyzed the expression profile of lncRNAs by high-throughput sequencing analysis. Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway analyses were employed to analyze the gene function and identify enriched pathways of the differentially expressed lncRNAs. We also built an lncRNA-mRNA expression correlation network and verified the interactions of selected lncRNAs in acute ischemic stroke. To further confirm the results of the expression profile, 6 differentially expressed lncRNAs were randomly selected and quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) performed. We identified 44,578 aberrantly expressed lncRNAs, including 228 upregulated and 16 downregulated lncRNAs. The qRT-PCR results showed that ENSG00000269900, ENSG00000196559, ENSG00000202198, ENSG00000226482, ENSG00000260539 (up), and XLOC_013994_2 (down) were abnormally expressed, which was consistent with the sequencing results. The upregulated expression of lncRNA ENSG00000226482 may activate the adipocytokine signaling pathway, resulting in acute ischemia stroke. In summary, we analyzed the lncRNAs expression profile in acute ischemic stroke patients and identified the functions and enriched metabolic pathways, proposing new insights into the diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers for this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between long-chain non-coding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (lncRNA SNHG16) polymorphisms and its interaction with environmental factors and susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS Sanger sequencing was used to analyze genotypes of lncRNA SNHG16 gene rs7353, rs8038, and rs15278 sites. Multifactor dimensionality reduction was used to analyze interactions between lncRNA SNHG16 gene rs7353, rs8038, rs15278 sites, and environmental factors. Haploview 4.1 software was used to analyze linkage disequilibrium of lncRNA SNHG16 gene rs7353, rs8038, and rs15278 sites. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze plasma lncRNA SNHG16 levels of CRC patients and control subjects. RESULTS Variation of the lncRNA SNHG16 gene rs7353 site A>G variation was associated with decreased CRC susceptibility (Odds ratio [OR] = 0.50, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.40-0.62, P < .01). The rs8038 site G>A and rs15278 site A>G variation were associated with increased CRC susceptibility (OR = 1.87, 95% CI: 1.47-2.36, P < .01). The rs15278 site G>A variation was associated with increased CRC susceptibility (OR = 2.24, 95% CI: 1.61-3.11, P < .01). Interaction combinations featuring age, rs7353, rs8038, and rs15278 single nucleotide polymorphism are 13.53 times more susceptible to CRC than other interactions (95% CI: 9.43-19.41, P < .01). The rs15278, rs8038, and rs7353 site AGA haplotypes were significantly associated with a decreased CRC risk (OR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.48-0.88, P = .01), AAG haplotypes were significantly associated with an increased CRC risk (OR = 2.00, 95% CI: 1.27-3.17, P < .01). High lncRNA SNHG16 expression was associated with tumor progression in CRC patients (χ = 8.85, P = .03). The rs7353 site A>G variation caused a significant decrease in plasma lncRNA SNHG16 level (P < .01), while the rs8038 site G>A variation and rs15278 site A>G variation resulted in increased plasma lncRNA SNHG16 levels. CONCLUSION Polymorphisms of lncRNA SNHG16 gene rs7353, rs8038, rs15278 loci and their interaction with age are significantly associated with CRC susceptibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of transcribed RNA molecules greater than 200 nucleotides in length. Although lncRNAs do not encode proteins, they play numerous functional roles in gene expression regulation. lncRNAs are notably abundant in brain; however, their neural functions remain largely unknown. METHODS We examined the expression of the lncRNA Gas5 in nucleus accumbens (NAc), a key brain reward region, of adult male mice after cocaine administration. We then performed viral-mediated overexpression of Gas5 in NAc neurons to determine its role in addiction-related behaviors. We also carried out RNA sequencing to investigate Gas5-mediated transcriptomic changes. RESULTS We demonstrated that repeated short-term or long-term cocaine administration decreased expression of Gas5 in NAc. Viral-mediated overexpression of Gas5 in NAc neurons decreased cocaine-induced conditioned place preference. Likewise, Gas5 overexpression led to decreased cocaine intake, decreased motivation, and compulsive-like behavior to acquire cocaine, and it facilitated extinction of cocaine-seeking behavior. Transcriptome profiling identified numerous Gas5-mediated gene expression changes that are enriched in relevant neural function categories. Interestingly, these Gas5-regulated gene expression changes significantly overlap with chronic cocaine-induced transcriptome alterations, suggesting that Gas5 may serve as an important regulator of transcriptional responses to cocaine. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, our study demonstrates a novel lncRNA-based molecular mechanism of cocaine action.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing number of studies have suggested that the Long intergenic noncoding RNA 00511 (LINC00511) is aberrantly expressed in multiple malignancies and is related to patient survival. Herein, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate the prognostic significance of LINC00511 in human malignancies. METHODS Eligible studies published by March 11, 2020 were identified in 4 electronic databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure. Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the prognostic significance of LINC00511 expression in malignant tumors. The association between LINC00511 expression and cancer clinicopathologic features were assessed using Odds ratios (ORs) and CIs. RESULTS A total of 13 studies, comprising 1,053 patients, were included in the meta-analysis. The calculated hazard ratio was 2.00 (95% CI: 1.59-2.52, P < .000), suggesting that higher LINC00511 expression could predict poorer overall survival in patients with malignancies. Additionally, our statistical analysis indicated that elevated LINC00511 expression closely associated with bigger tumors (OR = 2.92, 95% CI 1.65-5.18, P < .000), higher incidence of lymph node metastasis (OR = 3.46, 95% CI 2.11-5.66, P < .000) and distant metastasis (OR = 2.40, 95% CI 1.14-5.05, P = .02), poorer differentiation (OR = 1.55, 95% CI 1.11-2.16, P = .01), as well as more advanced TNM stage (OR = 3.90, 95% CI 2.70-5.63, P < .000). CONCLUSIONS High LINC00511 expression may predict unfavorable prognosis in patients with malignancies. It should be further explored as a potential prognostic and therapeutic biomarker for human cancer.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is a disease of high mortality rate because of high malignant, while early diagnosis and personal management may make a better prognosis possible. This study aimed to establish and validate lncRNAs signatures to improve the prognostic prediction for BC.RNA sequencing data along with the corresponding clinical information of patients with BC were gained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Prognostic differentially expressed lncRNAs were obtained using differentially expressed lncRNAs analysis (P value <.01 and |fold change| > 2) and univariate cox regression (P value <.05). By applying least absolute shrinkage and selection operation (LASSO) Cox regression analysis along with 10-fold cross-validation, 2 lncRNA-based signatures were constructed in the training, test and whole set.A 14-lncRNAs signature and a 10-lncRNAs signature were built for overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) respectively in the 3 sets. BC patients were divided into high-risk groups and low-risk groups depended on median risk score value. Significant differences were found for OS and RFS between 2 groups in the 3 sets. The time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis demonstrated that our lncRNAs signatures had better predictive capacities of survival and recurrence for BC patients as well as enhancing the predictive ability of the tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage system.These results indicate that the 2 lncRNAs signatures with the potential to be biomarkers to predict the prognosis of BC for OS and RFS.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported that long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have a significant role in the metastasis of tumors, including ovarian cancer (OC). The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the function and working mechanism of lncRNA nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) in OC. The expressions of NEAT1 in OC were measured by reverse transcription‑quantitativePCR (RT‑qPCR). The effects of NEAT1 on cell proliferation, invasion, migration and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) were detected by Cell Counting Kit‑8, transwell and wound healing assays, and western blotting. Dual‑luciferase reporter assays were performed to confirm the correlated between NEAT and miR‑1321, miR‑1321 and TJP3. The effect of NEAT1 on miR‑1321 and TJP3 was confirmed by RT‑qPCR and western blotting. Elevated expression of NEAT1 was observed in OC cell lines, and NEAT1 expression was found to be positively related to the expression of tight junction protein 3 (TJP3), which is important in cancer development. Moreover, the present results indicated that NEAT1 and TJP3 expression levels were negatively correlated with microRNA (miR)‑1321 expression in OC. Knockdown of NEAT1 attenuated the migration and invasion of OC cells, as well as increased miR‑1321 expression and in turn led to the reduction of TJP3. Thus, the present study demonstrated that NEAT1 regulates TJP3 expression by sponging miR‑1321 and enhances the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition, invasion and migration of OC cells. Overall, the present study identified the function and mechanism of NEAT1 in OC, suggesting that NEAT1 may be a promising therapeutic target for OC metastasis.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has indicated that long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have crucial roles in wound healing and that vascular lesions in diabetic wounds are frequently difficult to heal. However, the role of angiogenesis pathway‑associated lncRNAs in wound healing in diabetic patients has remained to be fully elucidated. In the present study, human skin fibroblasts were cultured under high‑glucose conditions in vitro to mimic a diabetic environment and the angiogenesis pathway‑associated lncRNA expression profile in the high‑ and normal‑glucose groups was examined. The microarray data indicated that 14 lncRNAs and 22 mRNAs were differentially expressed. Several candidate lncRNAs and mRNAs were then analyzed by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and the results were consistent with the microarray data. Furthermore, the University of California Santa Cruz Genome Browser was used to identify mRNAs linked to angiogenesis pathways near the transcriptional region of lncRNAs. The results suggested that lncRNAs RP4‑791C19.1 and CTD‑2589O24.1 may act on their target genes epidermal growth factor receptor and p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 1, respectively, as enhancers and cis‑regulate their expression. Therefore, the present study confirmed that several angiogenesis pathway‑associated lncRNAs were differentially expressed under high‑glucose conditions, which may have a key role in wound healing in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the expression and function of long non-coding RNA linc00467 in childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS Bone marrow samples were collected from 5 children with AML who were diagnosed from May 2016 to June 2018. Normal bone marrow samples based on bone marrow examination were collected from 3 children as controls. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the expression of linc00467 in the two groups. A lentivirus system was used to achieve overexpression of linc00467 in AML cells (HL-60) (linc00467 overexpression group), and empty vector expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) was transfected into AML cells to establish a GFP control group. A lentivirus system was used to insert an interfering sequence into AML cells (sh-linc00467 interfering group), and a random sequence was inserted to establish an sh-NC control group. Cell proliferation and resistance to doxorubicin were observed for all groups. RESULTS Compared with the normal control group, the children with AML had a significant increase in linc00467 (P=0.018). Overexpression and interference with linc00467 expression had no significant effect on cell proliferation. Compared with the GFP control group, the linc00467 overexpression group had a significant increase in the viability of HL-60 cells at the adriamycin concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 μg/mL (P<0.05). Compared with the sh-NC control group, the sh-linc00467 interfering group had a significant reduction in the viability of HL-60 cells at the adriamycin concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 μg/mL (P<0.05). Compared with the untreated group, the adriamycin treatment group had a significant increase in the expression of linc00467 in HL-60 cells (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study reveals the biological function of linc00467 to promote the resistance to adriamycin in AML, which provides a basis for developing new therapeutic drugs for AML.

Abstract
Diagnosis of numerous cancers has been closely linked to the expression of certain long non-coding RNAs. This study aimed to evaluate levels of plasma FEZ family zinc finger 1 antisense RNA 1 (FEZF1-AS1) relative to non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) diagnosis.The level of FEZF1-AS1 in the blood plasma of 126 NSCLC patients and 62 healthy controls was examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.Plasma FEZF1-AS1 of the NSCLC group was increased compared with that in the control group (P < .0001). Plasma FEZF1-AS1 could distinguish patients with NSCLC from healthy individuals via the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.855 (95% CI = 0.800-0.909; P = .000). FEZF1-AS1 combined with neuron-specific enolase increased the area under the (ROC) curve to 0.932 (95% CI = 0.897-0.968; P = .018). A high expression level of plasma FEZF1-AS1 was associated with some clinical features of NSCLC. Increased expression of FEZF1-AS1 greatly improved the risk of NSCLC (adjusted OR = 2.42; 95% CI = 1.23-4.76). A significant concentration-dependent relationship was noted between risk of NSCLC and higher FEZF1-AS1 expression (P for trend <.001).Plasma FEZF1-AS1 could potentially be used as a biomarker for NSCLC diagnosis.

Abstract
Objective Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a downregulated immune response. The mechanisms of the immune response, especially regarding immune-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), in periodontitis remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze the immune cell landscapes and immune-related transcriptome expression in periodontitis. Materials and Methods The periodontitis-related microarray data set GSE16134 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Then, the proportions of the infiltrated immune cell subpopulations were evaluated by Cell-type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets Of RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT). Differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEMGs) and lncRNAs were analyzed by the “limma” package in R software. Co-expression of DEMGs and lncRNAs in immune cell subpopulations was evaluated. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to identify alterations in immune function through potential pathways. Results Increased numbers of plasma cells were observed in periodontitis-affected tissues versus those of healthy tissues, while T cells were downregulated. A total of 51 DEMGs were identified, and 12 immune-related signaling pathways were enriched by GSEA, most of which were related to the stimulation and function of B cells and T cells. Only 3 differentially upregulated lncRNAs (FAM30A, GUSBP11, and LINC00525) were screened for the regulation of the immune response. Besides, the level of lncRNAs (FAM30A, GUSBP11, and LINC00525) expression were positively correlated with the fraction of plasma cells in periodontitis. Conclusion The discovery of differentially expressed immune-related transcriptomes in periodontitis lesions helps to explain the regulation of the immune mechanism in the development of periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common form of kidney cancer in adults, and patients with advanced ccRCC have a 5-year survival rate of <30%. The poor prognosis of ccRCC is closely related to its lacking of potential therapeutic and prognostic biomarkers. This meta-analysis aimed to elucidate the precise prognostic value of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in patients with ccRCC. METHODS A literature search was performed in related databases up to January 31, 2019. Hazard ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to explore the relationship between special lncRNAs expression and survival in patients with ccRCC. RESULTS After literature researching, a total of 16 studies, including 13 lncRNAs were identified. The data from studies that investigated the association between lncRNA expression and survival outcomes in patients with ccRCC were extracted. Results revealed that lncRNAs expression was significantly associated with poor overall survival (OS) outcome in patients with ccRCC (HR = 1.71, 95%CI = 1.40-2.01 in up-regulated subgroup; HR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.25-0.80 in down-regulated subgroup). The overexpression of PVT1 was significantly associated with poor OS in ccRCC (HR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.02-2.00). Meanwhile, up-regulation of LUCAT1 was significantly related to worse OS in ccRCC patients (HR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.01-2.00). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that lncRNAs could be used to predict unfavorable prognosis and function as potential prognostic biomarkers in ccRCC.

Abstract
Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) comprise a sizeable class of non‑coding RNAs with a length of over 200 base pairs. Little is known about their biological function, although over 20,000 lncRNAs have been annotated in the human genome. Through a diverse range of mechanisms, their primary function is in the regulation of the transcription of protein‑coding genes. lncRNA transcriptional activation can result from a group of nucleus‑retained and chromatin‑associated lncRNAs, which function as scaffolds in the cis/trans recruitment of transcription factors, co‑activators or chromatin remodelers, and/or promoter enhancers. Exosomes are released as extracellular vesicles and they are produced by endocytic pathways. Their synthesis is initiated by various processes including ceramide synthesis, release of intracellular Ca2+ or acid‑base balance disorders. Prior to vesicle creation, selective cargo loading occurs in the Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport. Participation of endosomal sorting proteins such as tetraspanins or specific sumoylated proteins required for transport has been indicated in research. The endosomal‑sorting complex consists of four components, these induce the formation of multivesicular bodies and the induction of membrane deformation to form exosomes. Nanovesicles could be formed inside multivesicular bodies to allow transport outside the cell or digestion in lysosomes. The molecular content of exosomes is more heterogenic than its synthesis process, with different cargoes being examined inside vesicles with regard to the type or stage of cancers. This paper will review the importance of lncRNAs as crucial molecular content of exosomes, indicating its involvement in tumour suppression, pro‑tumorigenic events and the development of novel therapeutic approaches in the near future. Further studies of their mechanisms of function are essential, as well as overcoming several challenges to gain a clearer insight to the approaches for the best clinical application.

Abstract
The aim of this study was toexplore the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression pattern of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on a genome-wide scale and investigate their potential biological function in NSCLC.LncRNAs were investigated in 6 pairs of NSCLC and matched adjacent non-tumor lung tissues (NTL) by microarray. A validation cohort was obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and the effect of LINC01614 on diagnosis and prognosis in NSCLC was analyzed. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to predict the potential molecular mechanism of LINC01614, one identified lncRNA.A total of 1392 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified. LINC01614 was the most aberrantly expressed lncRNA in NSCLC compared with NTL. We confirmed the significantly upregulated LINC01614 in NSCLC patients from TCGA database. Furthermore, in TCGA database, LINC01614 was significantly upregulated in both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. And high expression of LINC01614 indicated poor overall survival of NSCLC patients. A sensitivity of 93% was calculated conditional on a high specificity of 95% for the discrimination of NSCLC tissues from normal tissues. Furthermore, the expression levels of LINC01614 were associated with the stage of tumor, but had no relationship with age and sex. Additionally, GSEA found that LINC01614 might be involved in TGF-β-, P53-, IGF-IR-mediated, Wnt and RTK/Ras/MAPK signaling pathways.lncRNAs may play key roles in the development of NSCLC. LINC01614 is the most aberrantly expressed lncRNA in NSCLC tissues in our experiment and is also significantly differentially expressed in NSCLC patients from TCGA database. LINC01614 could be a prognostic indicator and has the potential to be a diagnostic biomarker of NSCLC.

Abstract
Plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) is highly expressed in a variety of cancer tissues and is related to the clinicopathological features and prognosis. However, the prognostic value of PVT1 is still controversial. Therefore, this systematic evaluation and meta-analysis were performed to evaluate the relationship between PVT1 expression and clinicopathological features.PubMed, EMBASE, Web of science, and Cochrane library databases were searched for literature collection according to inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. The pooled hazard ratios (HRs) or odds ratios (ORs) were used to evaluate the association between PVT1 expression and overall survival, tumor size, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis.A total of 39 articles including 3974 patients were included in the study. The results showed that the expression of PVT1 was closely related to the overall survival rate of cancers (HR = 1.64, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.50-1.78, P < .000001). Subgroup analysis showed that the high expression of PVT1 was closely related to the low overall survival rate of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, and osteosarcoma. In addition, the high expression of PVT1 was positively correlated with tumor size (OR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.14-1.96, P = .004), TNM stage (OR = 3.39, 95% CI: 2.73-4.20, P < .00001), lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.60, 95% CI: 1.76-3.84, P < .00001), and distant metastasis (OR = 2.94, 95% CI: 1.90-4.56, P < .00001).PVT1 could serve as a marker for the size, TNM stage, metastasis, and prognosis of different type of cancers.

Abstract
The proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are major cellular events in hypertension‑induced vascular remodeling, which is closely involved in the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). Although long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are gaining recognition as novel regulators of VSMCs, their functioning and role in AS remain to be elucidated. In the present study, the role of lncRNA ENST00000430945 (lncRNA 430945) in AS was investigated. VSMCs transfected with a small interfering RNA (siRNA; si‑430945) and a negative control (si‑NC) were used. Cell Counting Kit‑8, wound‑healing and Transwell migration arrays were performed to determine whether lncRNA 430945 influenced VSMC proliferation and migration. Furthermore, the study examined whether a correlation exists between lncRNA 430945 and the receptor tyrosine kinase‑like orphan receptor 2 (ROR2) signaling pathway. It was found that the expression of lncRNA 430945 was high in human AS tissues, which in turn promoted angiotensin II (AngII)‑induced VSMC proliferation. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) and western blot analyses showed that lncRNA 430945 mediated the AngII‑induced upregulation of ROR2. In addition, the microarray and RT‑qPCR results showed that the expression of lncRNA 430945 was increased considerably in AS tissues. The downregulation of lncRNA 430945 significantly suppressed AngII‑induced VSMC proliferation and migration. In addition, ROR2 levels in VSMCs transfected with si‑430945 were markedly lower than those cells transfected with si‑NC. Additionally, western blotting showed that lncRNA 430945 activated the signaling pathways associated with ROR2 and Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA). The upregulation of lncRNA 430945 in AS promoted the proliferation and migration of VSMCs via activation of the ROR2/RhoA signaling pathway. Therefore, targeting ROR2 or RhoA may be a promising technique in developing therapeutic strategies for treating AS.

Abstract
Non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common fatty liver disease in developed countries, in which fat accumulation in the liver is induced by non‑alcoholic factors. The present study was conducted to identify NAFLD‑associated long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs), mRNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs). The microarray dataset GSE72756, which included 5 NAFLD liver tissues and 5 controls, was acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed lncRNAs (DE‑lncRNAs) and mRNAs (DE‑mRNAs) were detected using the pheatmap package. Using the clusterProfiler package and Cytoscape software, enrichment and protein‑protein interaction (PPI) network analyses were conducted to evaluate the DE‑mRNAs. Next, the miRNA‑lncRNA‑mRNA interaction network was visualized using Cytoscape software. Additionally, RP11‑279F6.1 and AC004540.4 expression levels were analyzed by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. There were 318 DE‑lncRNAs and 609 DE‑mRNAs identified in the NAFLD tissues compared with the normal tissues. Jun proto‑oncogene, AP‑1 transcription factor subunit (JUN), which is regulated by AC004540.4 and RP11‑279F6.1, exhibited higher degree compared with other nodes in the PPI network. Furthermore, miR‑409‑3p and miR‑139 (targeting JUN) were predicted as PPI network nodes. In the miRNA‑lncRNA‑mRNA network, miR‑20a and B‑cell lymphoma 2‑like 11 (BCL2L11) were among the top 10 nodes. Additionally, BCL2L11, AC004540.4 and RP11‑279F6.1 were targeted by miR‑20a, miR‑409‑3p and miR‑139 in the miRNA‑lncRNA‑mRNA network, respectively. RP11‑279F6.1 and AC004540.4 expression was markedly enhanced in NAFLD liver tissues. These key RNAs may be involved in the pathogenic mechanisms of NAFLD.

Abstract
Transcriptome profiling of osteosarcoma (OS) by next generation sequencing technology (NGS) has been broadly performed by previous researches, which uncovers a large number protein-coding driver genes, facilitates our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of OS formation, progression and metastasis. Recently, more and more researchers realize the importance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) on the development of OS. However, few studies focus on discovering driver lncRNAs.Here we collected somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) and gene expression profiles of 84 samples from Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) project. The RNA sequencing data detected 13,903 expressed lncRNAs, 157 of which were previously reported to be associated with cancer based on the annotations from Lnc2Cancer database.By analyzing the SNP array data, several significant SCNAs were detected, such as the amplifications on chromosomes 1q, 4q, 17p, 17q, and 19q, and deletions on 1q, 3q, 9p, 10q, and 15q. With the SCNA and gene expression profiles, we identified 167 driver genes by integrative analysis, including 162 novel driver lncRNAs, 2 lncRNAs reported to be associated with OS, and another 3 associated with other cancers. Furthermore, functional characterization and survival analysis revealed that RP11-241F15.10 may function as a tumor suppressor in OS, and loss of function may contribute to activation of Wnt signaling pathway.This study not only facilitates our understanding of the oncogenic or tumor-suppressor role of lncRNAs in OS, but also provides potential therapies for the patients with OS with metastasis or relapse.

Abstract
Non‑coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been shown to serve important roles in carcinogenesis via complex mechanisms, including transcriptional and post‑transcriptional regulation, and chromatin interactions. Urothelial carcinoma‑associated 1 (UCA1), a long ncRNA, was recently shown to have tumorigenic properties in urothelial bladder cancer (UBC), as demonstrated by enhanced proliferation, migration, invasion and therapy resistance of UBC cell lines in vitro. These in vitro findings suggested that UCA1 is associated with aggressive tumor behavior and could have prognostic implications in UBC. The aims of the present study were to therefore to investigate the statistical associations between UCA1 RNA expression and UBC pathological features, patient prognosis and p53 and Ki‑67 expression. Chromogenic in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry were performed on UBC tissue microarrays to characterize UCA1 RNA, and p53 and Ki‑67 expression in 208 UBC cases, including 145 non‑muscle‑invasive and 63 muscle‑invasive cases. UCA1 was observed in the tumor cells of 166/208 (80%) UBC cases tested. No expression was noted in normal stromal and endothelium cells. Patients with UBC that overexpressed UCA1 (35%) had a significantly higher survival rate (P=0.006) compared with that in patients with UBC that did not overexpress UCA1. This prognostic factor was independent of tumor morphology, concomitant carcinoma in situ, tumor grade and tumor stage. In addition, the absence of UCA1 overexpression was significantly associated with a high Ki‑67 proliferative index (P=0.008) and a p53 'mutated' immunoprofile (strong nuclear expression or complete absence of staining; P=0.003). In conclusion, the present results identified UCA1 as potentially being a novel independent prognostic marker in UBC that was associated with a better patient prognosis and that could serve a pivotal role in bladder cancer carcinogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify orthologous lncRNAs in human and mice and the species specificity of their epigenetic regulatory functions. METHODS The human/mouse whole-genome pairwise alignment (hg19/mm10, genome.UCSC.edu) was used to identify the orthologues in 13 562 and 10 481 GENCODE-annotated human and mouse lncRNAs. The Infernal program was used to search the orthologous sequences of all the exons of the 13562 human lncRNAs in mouse genome (mm10) to identify the highly conserved orthologues in mice. LongTarget program was used to predict the DNA binding sites of the orthologous lncRNAs in their local genomic regions. Gene Ontology analysis was carried out to examine the functions of genes. RESULTS Only 158 orthologous lncRNAs were identified in humans and mice, and many of these orthologues had species-specific DNA binding sites and epigenetic target genes. Some of the epigenetic target genes executed important functions in determining human and mouse phenotypes. CONCLUSION s Only a few human and mouse lncRNAs are orthologues, and most of lncRNAs are species-specific. The orthologous lncRNAs have species-specific epigenetic target genes, and species-specific epigenetic regulation greatly contributes to the differences between humans and mice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of long non-coding RNA growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (lncRNA-GAS5) in breast cancer progression and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the cancer cells. METHODS Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of lncRNA-GAS5 in 37 pairs of breast cancer and adjacent non-tumor tissues and in parental MCF-7 cells and paclitaxel-resistant MCF-7 (MCF-7/PR) cells, and the correlation of lncRNA-GAS5 expression with the clinical stage and lymph node metastasis of breast cancer was investigated. The expressions of the genes related with cell cycle and EMT at both the mRNA and protein levels were detected using qRT-PCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. The changes in the biological behaviors and morphology of breast cancer cells with either lncRNA-GAS5 knockdown or overexpression were observed. Nude mouse models were established bearing breast cancer xenografts derived from MCF-7/PR cells or MCF-7/PR cells over-expressing lncRNA-GAS5, and the inhibitory effect of paclitaxel on tumor growth was evaluated. RESULTS The transcriptional levels of lncRNA-GAS5 were significantly lower in breast cancer tissues than in the adjacent non-tumor tissues (P<0.05), and decreased lncRNA-GAS5 expression was significantly correlated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis of breast cancer (P<0.05). lncRNA-GAS5 expression was also significantly lowered in paclitaxel-resistant breast cancer cells and showed a positive correlation with P21 expression and a negative correlation with CDK6. MCF-7 cells during EMT presented with a lowered expression of lncRNA-GAS5, whereas lncRNA-GAS5 over-expression strongly suppressed MCF-7/PR cell migration and invasion, and increased the susceptibility of the cells to paclitaxel. In the tumor-bearing nude mouse models, lncRNA-GAS5 overexpression in the tumor cells obviously enhanced the inhibitory effect of paclitaxel on tumor growth and lung metastasis by reversing the EMT marker proteins. CONCLUSION A decreased expression of lncRNA-GAS5 promotes lung metastasis of breast cancer by inducing EMT, suggesting the potential of lncRNA-GAS5 as a therapeutic target in breast cancer.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Based on our recent finding that disruption of bile acid (BA) homeostasis in mice results in the induction of hepatic long noncoding RNA H19 expression, we sought to elucidate the role of H19 in cholestatic liver fibrosis. Hepatic overexpression of H19RNA augmented bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced liver fibrosis, which was accompanied by the elevation of serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, bilirubin, and BA levels. Multiple genes related to liver fibrosis, inflammation, and biliary hyperplasia were increased in H19-BDL versus null-BDL mice, whereas genes in BA synthesis were decreased. Livers and spleens of H19-BDL mice showed significant enrichment of CD3+γδ+, interleukin-4, and interleukin-17 producing CD4+ and CD8+ immune cell populations. H19 down-regulated hepatic zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) but up-regulated epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) and SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 9 expression. Mechanistically, ZEB1 repressed EpCAM promoter activity and gene transcription. H19RNA impeded ZEB1's inhibitory action by interacting with ZEB1 protein to prevent its binding to the EpCAM promoter. Hepatic overexpression of ZEB1 or knockdown of EpCAM diminished H19-induced fibrosis; the latter was also prevented in H19-/- mice. H19RNA was markedly induced by bile acids in mouse small cholangiocytes and to a lesser extent in mouse large cholangiocytes. The up-regulation of H19RNA and EpCAM correlated positively with the down-regulation of ZEB1 in primary sclerosing cholangitis and primary biliary cirrhosis liver specimens. CONCLUSION The activation of hepatic H19RNA promoted cholestatic liver fibrosis in mice through the ZEB1/EpCAM signaling pathway. (Hepatology 2017;66:1183-1196).

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a fatal disease to human health. Despite the advanced progresses in cancer therapy during the past decades, NSCLC still remains the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) recently have been considered as key regulators of tumor malignant. Previous studies identified that long non‑coding RNAs, linc00312 and linc00673 are markedly associated with lung cancer. However, current understanding of the two lncRNAs involving in NSCLC remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to profile their expression and clinicopathological significance in 76 patients' NSCLC tissues compared to non‑tumor tissues using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Data have indicated that the linc00312 expression level was significantly decreased in NSCLC tissues (P<0.001), while a higher linc00673 level has been detected in the same tumor tissues (P<0.01). In addition, the low expression of linc00312 was associated with the Tumor‑Node‑Metastasis stage of NSCLC (P<0.05), whereas the high expression of linc00673 was related with the histological types of NSCLC (P<0.05). In conclusion, lncRNA 00312 and 00673 may serve as potential novel biomarkers for lung cancer early diagnosis, which may play a vital role in treatments of NSCLC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of long non-coding RNA NANCI in lung tissues of neonatal mice with hyperoxia-induced lung injury and its regulatory effect on NKX2.1. METHODS A total of 48 neonatal C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into an air group and a hyperoxia group, with 24 mice in each group. Each group was further divided into 7-day, 14-day, and 21-day subgroups, with 8 mice in each subgroup. The mice in the air group were fed in the indoor environment (FiO2=21%) and those in the hyperoxia group were fed in a high-oxygen box (oxygen concentration: >95%). The mice were sacrificed at each time point and lung tissue samples were collected. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to observe pathological changes in lung tissues. RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to measure the mRNA and protein expression of NANCI and NKX2.1. RESULTS The air group had the highest mRNA expression of NANCI and NKX2.1 at 7 days and the same level of mRNA expression at 14 and 21 days. Compared with the air group, the hyperoxia group had significant reductions in the degree of alveolarization and radial alveolar count (RAC) in lung tissues (P<0.05), and in the hyperoxia group, RAC gradually decreased over the time of hyperoxia exposure (P<0.05). The hyperoxia group had significantly lower mRNA and protein expression of NANCI and NKX2.1 than the air group at all time points (P<0.05). In both groups, the relative mRNA and protein expression of NANCI and NKX2.1 gradually decreased over the time of hyperoxia exposure (P<0.05). The expression of NKX2 was positively correlated with that of NANCI (r=0.585, P=0.003), and the expression of NKX2 and NANCI was positively correlated with RAC in the hyperoxia group (r=0.655 and 0.541 respectively, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS NANCI may be involved in the development of immature lung tissues. Lung injury is gradually aggravated over the time of hyperoxia exposure. The levels of NANCI and NKX2.1 are associated with the severity of lung injury, suggesting that the NANCI/NKX2.1 target gene signaling pathway might be involved in the development of hyperoxia-induced lung injury in neonatal mice.

Abstract
HOX antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR), a long non-coding RNA, plays an important role in the development of many types of cancers. Its function in acute leukemia (AL), however, has not been examined. The present study investigated the role of HOTAIR and its downstream genes in AL, and determined whether it could act as a molecular marker for prediction of leukemia development and prognosis. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to examine the expression of each gene in the HOTAIR signaling pathway in AL patients. The relationship between expression of HOTAIR and downstream genes and AL prognosis was analyzed. Expression of HOTAIR in patients with acute monocytic leukemia (M5) was increased as compared to controls (P<0.05). Compared to patients with low HOTAIR expression, overall survival and event-free survival of patients with high HOTAIR expression was significantly reduced. In addition, the expression of downstream genes in the HOTAIR signaling pathway including EZH2, LSD1, DNMT3A and DNMT3B was significantly increased in AL patients, and showed a significant positive correlation with high expression of HOTAIR (P<0.05). In conclusion, HOTAIR was closely related with a poor prognosis in AL patients. It may be involved in the development of leukemia by mediating methylation of DNA and histones.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts with a complex structure and a length of >200 nt which are unable to encode proteins. The lncRNAs interact with DNA, mRNA, and proteins and regulate gene expression through various mechanisms, thus participating in the regulation of various biological processes. Studies have shown that lncRNAs play important roles in neural development and the pathogenesis of diseases. This article reviews the roles of lncRNAs in hypoxic-ischemic brain damage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and brain injury in inflammation-induced preterm mice, and to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of brain injury. METHODS An intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide in pregnant mice was performed to establish a model of inflammation-induced preterm mice with brain injury (preterm group). The full-term mice delivered by normal pregnant mice were used as controls (full-term group). The lncRNA chip assay was used to screen out the lncRNAs associated with brain injury in preterm mice. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to validate the lncRNAs identified by the above method. RESULTS The preterm and full-term groups showed significant differences in the expression of 1 978 lncRNAs (P<0.05), consisting of 786 up-regulated lncRNAs and 1 192 down-regulated lncRNAs, and 29 lncRNAs were 1.5 or more times differentially expressed between the two groups. A further analysis was performed for the 10 most differentially expressed lncRNAs, and the results showed that these lncRNAs were involved in the biological processes including transcription, signal transduction, apoptosis, cell cycle, and inflammatory response, as well as G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and neuropeptide signaling pathway. Real-time PCR was performed to validate the expression of two lncRNAs in brain tissue in the preterm and full-term groups, and the results were consistent with those of the chip assay. CONCLUSIONS The expression profiles of lncRNAs in brain tissue change significantly in inflammation-induced preterm mice, and the G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway may be involved in the pathogenesis of preterm brain injury.

Abstract
Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have important roles in diverse biological processes, including transcriptional regulation, cell growth and tumorigenesis. The present study aimed to investigate whether lncRNA‑growth arrest‑specific (GAS)5 regulated bladder cancer progression via regulation of chemokine (C‑C) ligand (CCL)1 expression. The viability of BLX bladder cancer cells was detected using a Cell Counting kit‑8 assay, and cell apoptosis was assessed by annexin V‑propidium iodide double‑staining. The expression levels of specific genes and proteins were analyzed by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively. In addition, cells were transfected with small interfering (si)RNAs or recombinant GAS5 in order to silence or overexpress GAS5, respectively. The results of the present study demonstrated that knockdown of GAS5 expression promoted bladder cancer cell proliferation, whereas overexpression of GAS5 suppressed cell proliferation. Furthermore, knockdown of GAS5 resulted in an increased percentage of cells in S and G2 phase, and a decreased percentage of cells in G1 phase. In addition, the present study performed a hierarchical cluster analysis of differentially expressed lncRNAs in bladder cancer cells and detected that CCL1 overexpression resulted in an upregulation of GAS5, which may improve the ability of cells to regulate a stress response in vitro. Furthermore, knockdown of GAS5 expression increased the mRNA and protein expression of CCL1 in bladder cancer cells. Gain‑of‑function and loss‑of‑function studies demonstrated that GAS5 was able to inhibit bladder cancer cell proliferation, at least in part, by suppressing the expression of CCL1. The results of the present study demonstrated that GAS5 was able to suppress bladder cancer cell proliferation, at least partially, by suppressing the expression of CCL1. The results of the present study may provide a basis for developing novel effective treatment strategies against bladder cancer.
