Regulatory Roles of Non-Coding RNAs in Colorectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have recently gained attention because of their involvement in different biological processes. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that mutations or abnormal expression of ncRNAs are closely associated with various diseases including cancer. The present review is a comprehensive examination of the aberrant regulation of ncRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC) and a summary of the current findings on ncRNAs, including long ncRNAs, microRNAs, small interfering RNAs, small nucleolar RNAs, small nuclear RNAs, Piwi-interacting RNAs, and circular RNAs. These ncRNAs might become novel biomarkers and targets as well as potential therapeutic tools for the treatment of CRC in the near future and this review may provide important clues for further research on CRC and for the selection of effective therapeutic targets.

Roles of long non-coding RNAs in colorectal cancer tumorigenesis: A Review.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are newly identified potential biological and gene regulators. Similar to other cell-free circulating cancer-related nucleic acids, lncRNAs are released in the peripheral circulation of cancer patients and allow for non-invasive gene expression assessment. lncRNAs are considered to be promising biomarkers for cancer prognosis and diagnosis. Several lncRNAs have been found to regulate developmental processes in a number of biological disorders. Recent studies indicated that lncRNAs are associated with numerous diseases, most notably cancer, as they were found to be highly expressed or silenced in a number of human cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite advances in the current detection methods, over half of cancer patients succumb to the disease, as several CRC cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Due to the lack of non-invasive and low-cost prognostic and diagnostic tests for CRC, the identification of novel, potentially effective biomarkers has been attracting increasing attention in recent cancer research. The present review focused on the most widely applied lncRNAs in cancer detection, including CRC, in vitro.

Long non-coding RNAs in colorectal cancer.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Despite substantial progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms and treatment of CRC in recent years, the overall survival rate of CRC patients has not improved dramatically. The development of CRC is multifactor and multistep processes, in which abnormal gene expression may play an important role. With the advance of human tumor molecular biology, a series of studies have highlighted the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the development of CRC. CRC-related lncRNAs have been demonstrated to regulate the genes by various mechanisms, including epigenetic modifications, lncRNA-miRNA and lncRNA-protein interactions, and by their actions as miRNA precursors or pseudogenes. Since some lncRNAs can be detected in human body fluid and have good specificity and accessibility, they have been suggested to be used as novel potential biomarkers for CRC diagnosis and prognosis as well as in the prediction of the response to therapy. Therefore, in this review, we will focus on lncRNAs in CRC development, the mechanisms and biomarkers of lncRNAs in CRC.

Roles of Non-Coding RNAs in Cervical Cancer Metastasis.

Project description:Metastasis remains to be a huge challenge in cancer therapy. The mechanism underlying cervical cancer metastasis is not well understood and needs to be elucidated. Recent studies have highlighted the diverse roles of non-coding RNAs in cancer progression and metastasis. Increasing numbers of miRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs are found to be dysregulated in cervical cancer, associated with metastasis. They have been shown to regulate metastasis through regulating metastasis-related genes, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, signaling pathways and interactions with tumor microenvironment. Moreover, miRNAs can interact with lncRNAs and circRNAs respectively during this complex process. Herein, we review literatures up to date involving non-coding RNAs in cervical cancer metastasis, mainly focus on the underlying mechanisms and highlight the interaction network between miRNAs and lncRNAs, as well as circRNAs. Finally, we discuss the therapeutic prospects.

Regulatory Roles of Related Long Non-coding RNAs in the Process of Atherosclerosis.

Project description:Atherosclerosis (AS) is the main cause of coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, and peripheral vascular disease, which comprise serious hazards to human health. Atherosclerosis is characterized by the deposition of lipids on the interior walls of blood vessels, causing an inflammatory response of immune cells, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells, and a proliferation cascade reaction. Despite years of research, the underlying pathogenesis of AS is not fully defined. Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which non-coding RNA influences the initiation and progression of AS have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate important stages in the atherosclerotic process. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of lncRNAs, which influence the development of AS. We review the regulatory processes of lncRNAs on core stages of atherosclerotic progression, including lipid metabolism, inflammation, vascular cell proliferation, apoptosis, adhesion and migration, and angiogenesis. A growing body of evidence suggests that lncRNAs have great potential as new therapeutic targets for the treatment of vascular diseases.

The functions of long non-coding RNAs in colorectal cancer

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent malignant neoplasm worldwide. Recently, in terms of the mechanism of CRC, most studies have focused on protein-coding genes. However, studies have increasingly shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in the proliferation and metastasis of CRC. Investigating this molecular mechanism may provide potential diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets for CRC. This review closely examines the dysregulation of lncRNAs in CRC. On account of different mechanisms being involved in the occurrence and development of CRC, there are several categories of lncRNAs, including lncRNAs related to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, epithelial mesenchymal transition, epigenetic regulation, angiopoiesis, and chemoresistance. This review summarizes lncRNAs related to the progression of CRC, which may provide insight into the mechanisms and potential markers for prognostic prediction and monitoring relapse of CRC.

Long non-coding RNAs: a rising biotarget in colorectal cancer.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common gastrointestinal cancer, with a high incidence and high mortality. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the development, invasion and metastasis, early diagnosis, prognosis, the chemoresistance and radioresistance of CRC through interference with mRNA activity, directly combining with proteins to regulate their activity or alter their localization, influencing downstream gene expression by inhibiting RNA polymerase and regulating gene expression as competing endogenous RNAs. Recent progress in next generation sequencing and transcriptome analysis has revealed that tissue and cancer-type specific lncRNAs could be useful prognostic markers. Here, the CRC-associated lncRNAs from recent studies until October 2016 are reviewed and multiple studies that have confirmed CRC-associated lncRNAs are summarized. This review may be helpful in understanding the overall relationships between the lncRNAs involved in CRC.

Roles of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway Regulatory Long Non-Coding RNAs in the Pathogenesis of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Project description:Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common pathological type of lung cancer. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are promising novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, as well as potential therapeutic targets for lung cancer. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to modulate tumor cells proliferation, cell cycle progression, invasion, and metastasis by regulating gene expression at transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic levels. The oncogenic aberrant Wnt/β-catenin signaling is prominent in lung cancer, playing a vital role in tumorigenesis, prognosis, and resistance to therapy. Interestingly, compelling studies have demonstrated that lncRNAs exert either oncogenic or tumor suppressor roles by regulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. In this review, we aim to present the current accumulated knowledge regarding the roles of Wnt/β-catenin signaling-regulated lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Better understanding of the effects of lncRNAs on Wnt/β-catenin signaling might contribute to the improved understanding of the molecular tumor pathogenesis and to the uncovering of novel therapeutic targets in NSCLC.

Hes1 is associated with long non-coding RNAs in colorectal cancer.

Project description:Background:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the development and pathophysiology of colorectal cancer (CRC). Our previous study showed that Hes1 was involved in the self-renewal and tumorigenicity of stem-like cancer cells in CRC. Methods:ArrayStar Human LncRNA/mRNA Expression Microarray Version 3.0 was used to detect lncRNA expression in CRC tissues compared with their matched non-tumoral tissues. RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation and sequencing (RIP-seq) assay was used to detect lncRNAs binding to Hes1. Real-time qPCR was used to detect expression of specific lncRNAs in CRC tissues. Results:We found significantly up-regulated as well as down-regulated lncRNAs in CRC tissues compared with their matched non-tumoral tissues. We also screened a number of lncRNAs interacting with Hes1 in CRC cells. Interestingly, we found several lncRNAs binding to Hes1 (such as, GNAS-AS1, RP11-89K10.1, and RP11-465L10.10) were up-regulated in CRC tissues showed by the tissue microarray. Next, we confirmed that Hes1 directly interacted with these lncRNAs using RIP-qPCR and RNA pulldown assay. Finally, we verified the expression of these lncRNAs in 32 CRC samples as well as the adjacent non-tumoral tissues using real-time qPCR. Conclusions:Based on these, we speculate that Hes1 interacts with one or more lncRNAs which contribute to the development and progression of CRC.

Integrated analysis of long non-coding RNAs in human colorectal cancer.

Project description:Accumulating evidence highlights the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in tumors. However, the genome-wide expression and roles of lncRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain unknown. Here, we systematically examined the global gene expressions in primary and synchronous liver metastases CRC tissue, in which thousands of aberrantly expressed lncRNAs were characterized. Co-expression analysis revealed that some lncRNAs correlated to their neighboring mRNAs in expression levels, whereas others formed networks with protein-coding genes in trans. We observed H3K4me3 was enriched at expressed lncRNA transcription start sites (TSSs) and correlated to dysregulated lncRNAs. Furthermore, we identified primary and metastasis tumor linked lncRNA signatures positively correlated with poor-prognosis gene set. Finally, functional experiments demonstrated two candidate lncRNAs were required for proliferation and migration of CRC cells. In summary, we provided a new framework for lncRNA associated clinical prognosis evaluation and target selection of gene therapy in CRC.

Long non-coding RNAs in Colorectal Cancer: Progression and Future Directions.

Project description:Identification of the colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence with its corresponding genetic and epigenetic alterations has significantly increased our knowledge of the etiopathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the molecular mechanisms of colorectal carcinogenesis and metastasis haven't been clearly elucidated. Long non-coding ribonucleic acids (lncRNAs) are key participants of gene regulations rather than "noises". Accumulative studies have implicated that the aberrant expressions of lncRNAs are tightly corelated to CRC screening, diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic outcomes. Our review focuses on recent findings on the involvement of lncRNAs in CRC oncogenesis and the lncRNA-based clinical implications in patients with CRC.
