Project description:Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was a disease with poor outcomes, partly because there were no high-efficiency non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers. The RNA modification status of 5-Methylcytosine (m5C) has been shown to be a biomarker for various diseases, but its potentiality to be a diagnostic biomarker for NSCLC remained inconclusive. Methods: In this research, we collected peripheral leukocyte samples from 141 patients with NSCLC and 90 normal people as controls to evaluate the extent of m5C RNA modification. Results: We found that the m5C modification levels in leukocytes of NSCLC patients were decreased dramatically, which were compared to the normal controls, and levels of m5C modification decreased progressively with tumor stage. Importantly, m5C modification exhibited superior diagnostic value compared to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC), cytokeratin 19 fragment (Cyfra21-1), and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), which demonstrated area under the curves (AUCs) of 0.912, 0.773, 0.669, 0.754, and 0.732, respectively. The combination of m5C modification with these serum tumor biomarkers further improved the AUC to 0.960. A nomogram model incorporating m5C modification also provided an effectively diagnostic tool for NSCLC. Conclusion: Collectively, our findings suggested that m5C modification in leukocytes held promise as a prospective biomarker for NSCLC diagnosis.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanisms of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in a gastric cancer cell line treated with celecoxib. The human gastric carcinoma cell line NCI-N87 was treated with 15 µM celecoxib for 72 h (celecoxib group) and an equal volume of dimethylsulfoxide (control group), respectively. Libraries were constructed by NEBNext Ultra RNA Library Prep kit for Illumina. Paired-end RNA sequencing reads were aligned to a human hg19 reference genome using TopHat2. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and lncRNAs were identified using Cuffdiff. Enrichment analysis was performed using GO-function package and KEGG profile in Bioconductor. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed using STRING database and module analysis was performed using ClusterONE plugin of Cytoscape. ATP5G1, ATP5G3, COX8A, CYC1, NDUFS3, UQCRC1, UQCRC2 and UQCRFS1 were enriched in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. CXCL1, CXCL3, CXCL5 and CXCL8 were enriched in the chemokine signaling and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathways. ITGA3, ITGA6, ITGB4, ITGB5, ITGB6 and ITGB8 were enriched in the integrin-mediated signaling pathway. DEGs co-expressed with lnc-SCD-1:13, lnc-LRR1-1:2, lnc-PTMS-1:3, lnc-S100P-3:1, lnc-AP000974.1-1:1 and lnc-RAB3IL1-2:1 were enriched in the pathways associated with cancer, such as the basal cell carcinoma pathway in cancer. In conclusion, these DEGs and differentially expressed lncRNAs may be important in the celecoxib treatment of gastric cancer.

Project description:End-stage renal disease is a public health problem responsible for millions of deaths worldwide each year. Although transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients in need of renal replacement therapy, long-term allograft survival remains challenging. Advances in high-throughput methods for large-scale molecular data generation and computational analysis are promising to overcome the current limitations posed by conventional diagnostic and disease classifications post-transplantation. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNA molecules that, despite lacking protein-coding potential, are essential in the regulation of epigenetic, transcriptional, and post-translational mechanisms involved in both health and disease. A large body of evidence suggests that ncRNAs can act as biomarkers of renal injury and graft loss after transplantation. Hence, the focus of this review is to discuss the existing molecular signatures of non-coding transcripts and their value to improve diagnosis, predict the risk of rejection, and guide therapeutic choices post-transplantation.

Project description:AimTo investigate the expression patterns of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in gastric cancer.MethodsTwo publicly available human exon arrays for gastric cancer and data for the corresponding normal tissue were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). We re-annotated the probes of the human exon arrays and retained the probes uniquely mapping to lncRNAs at the gene level. LncRNA expression profiles were generated by using robust multi-array average method in affymetrix power tools. The normalized data were then analyzed with a Bioconductor package linear models for microarray data and genes with adjusted P-values below 0.01 were considered differentially expressed. An independent data set was used to validate the results.ResultsWith the computational pipeline established to re-annotate over 6.5 million probes of the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST array, we identified 136053 probes uniquely mapping to lncRNAs at the gene level. These probes correspond to 9294 lncRNAs, covering nearly 76% of the GENCODE lncRNA data set. By analyzing GSE27342 consisting of 80 paired gastric cancer and normal adjacent tissue samples, we identified 88 lncRNAs that were differentially expressed in gastric cancer, some of which have been reported to play a role in cancer, such as LINC00152, taurine upregulated 1, urothelial cancer associated 1, Pvt1 oncogene, small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 and LINC00261. In the validation data set GSE33335, 59% of these differentially expressed lncRNAs showed significant expression changes (adjusted P-value < 0.01) with the same direction.ConclusionWe identified a set of lncRNAs differentially expressed in gastric cancer, providing useful information for discovery of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets in gastric cancer.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the major malignancies worldwide. Emerging evidence has revealed the potential involvement of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in human genetic disorders and cancer, but the role of LOC100505817 remains unknown. Thus, in this study, we isolated tissues from GC patients to characterize the functional importance of LOC100505817 in GC tumorigenesis. We also proposed a hypothesis that the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway by LOC100505817 was regulated by miR-20a-mediated WT1. After the collection of cancer tissues and adjacent tissues were obtained from GC patients, expression of LOC100505817, Wnt/β-catenin pathway- and EMT-related genes was quantified. Ectopic expression and knockdown experiments were applied in order to investigate the protective role of LOC100505817 in the progression of GC. Subsequently, cell viability, flow cytometry for apoptosis and cell cycle were detected via CCK-8, while migration and invasion were determined using scratch test and Transwell assay respectively. Then interactions among LOC100505817, miR-20a and WT1 were explored by dual luciferase reporter gene assay, RNA pull down assay and RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. The results found poor expression LOC100505817 was poorly expressed in GC cells and tissues. Overexpressed LOC100505817 resulted in the significant reduction of cell proliferation, migration and invasion as well as the expression of Wnt2b, β-catenin, CyclinD1, N-cadherin, Vimentin and snail, while increased cell apoptosis along with the expression of E-cadherin. Wnt/β-catenin pathway and EMT in GC cells were suppressed by LOC100505817 through miR-20a-inhibted WT1. In summary, our results provided evidence suggesting that LOC100505817 inhibits GC through LOC100505817-mediated inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin pathway, that leads to the overall restraining of GC cell proliferation, migration and invasion through miR-20a-reduced WT1.

Project description:BACKGROUND Aberrant expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is associated with prognosis of gastric cancer, some of which could be further evaluated as potential biomarkers. In this study, we attempted to identify a specific lncRNA signature to predict the prognosis of gastric cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS The genome-wide lncRNA expression in the high-throughput RNA-sequencing data was retrieved from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Differential expression of lncRNAs was identified using the Limma package. Survival analysis was conducted by use of univariate and multivariate Cox regression models. Functional enrichment analysis of lncRNAs was based on co-expressed mRNAs. DAVID was used to perform gene ontology and KEGG pathway analysis. RESULTS A total of 452 differentially expressed lncRNAs between gastric cancer and matched normal tissues were screened, of which 76 lncRNAs were identified to be gastric cancer-specific from a pan-cancer analysis of 12 types of human cancer. Among these 76 gastric cancer-specific lncRNAs, 5 lncRNAs (CTD-2616J11.14, RP1-90G24.10, RP11-150O12.3, RP11-1149O23.2, and MLK7-AS1) were significantly associated with the overall survival of patients with gastric cancer. A gastric cancer-specific 5-lncRNA signature was deduced to divide the patients into high- and low-risk groups with significantly different survival times (P<0.0001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that this 5-lncRNA signature was an independent predictor of prognosis. Functional enrichment analysis of the 5 lncRNAs showed that they were mainly involved in DNA replication, mitotic cell cycle, programmed cell death, and RNA splicing. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that this tumor-specific lncRNA signature may be clinically useful in the prediction of gastric cancer prognosis.

Project description:Prostate cancer antigen 3(PCA3) is a long non-coding RNA, which was found increased expression in CaP patients than healthy individual. In this study, the individual nucleic acid of PCA3 and PSA was recombinant expressed as a reference reagent, and a quantitative RT-PCR with TaqMan assay was developed to examine the copies of PCA3 and PSA gene in urine. The results showed that the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was 0.717, 0.444 and 0.916 for the number of PCA3 copy, PSA copy and for the score of PCA3/PSA RNA, respectively. Additionally, the AUROC for serum tPSA was 0.674 with a low specificity of 12.07%. Finally, the algorithm of PCA3 RNA versus PSA RNA was evaluated and corroborated as CaP biomarker by conducting a multicentric clinical trial. This study not only validated the developed technique of qRT-PCR with TaqMan assay for examination of urinary PCA3 and PSA RNA, it also demonstrated that the score of the PCA/PSA RNA was a reliable signature for CaP diagnosis.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is a common type of cancer, and identification of novel diagnostic biomarkers associated with this disease is important. The present study aimed to identify novel diagnostic biomarkers associated with the prognosis of GC, using an integrated bioinformatics approach. Differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with GC were identified using Gene Expression Omnibus datasets (GSE58828, GSE72305 and GSE99416) and The Cancer Genome Atlas database. A competing endogenous RNA network that incorporated five lncRNAs [long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 501 (LINC00501), LINC00365, SOX21 antisense divergent transcript 1 (SOX21-AS1), GK intronic transcript 1 (GK-IT1) and DLEU7 antisense RNA 1 (DLEU7-AS1)], 29 microRNAs and 114 mRNAs was constructed. Gene Ontology and protein-protein interaction network analyses revealed that these lncRNAs may be involved in 'biological regulation', 'metabolic process', 'cell communication', 'developmental process', 'cell proliferation', 'reproduction' and the 'cell cycle'. The results of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that LINC00501 (AUC=0.819), LINC00365 (AUC=0.580), SOX21-AS1 (AUC=0.736), GK-IT1 (AUC=0.823) and DLEU7-AS1 (AUC=0.932) had the potential to become valuable diagnostic biomarkers for GC. Associations with clinicopathological characteristics demonstrated that LINC00501 expression was significantly associated with sex (P=0.015) and tumor grade (P=0.022). Furthermore, LINC00365 expression was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (P=0.025). Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that LINC00501, LINC00365 and SOX21-AS1 were enriched in signaling pathways associated with GC. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis demonstrated that LINC00501 expression (P=0.043) was significantly upregulated in GC tissues, whereas the expression levels of LINC00365 (P=0.033) and SOX21-AS1 (P=0.037) were significantly downregulated in GC tissues. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that LINC00501, LINC00365, SOX21-AS1, GK-IT1 and DLEU7-AS1 may be used as novel diagnostic biomarkers for GC, and may be functionally associated with GC development and progression.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Small nucleolar RNA host gene 20 (SNHG20) is a newly identified long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). Accumulative evidence suggest that SNHG20 is highly related to tumorigenesis. However, whether the levels of SNHG20 can be used for prognosis of patients with different cancer types was unclear. The present study aims to explore the role of SNHG20 in tumor prognosis and its clinical significance. METHODS:Related articles published before March 14, 2019 were searched in PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), ISI Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Hazard ratios (HRs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained using Stata 11.0 software and used to for determination of the link between the levels of SNHG20 and overall survival (OS). Fixed or random model was chosen depending on the heterogeneity of the studies. A quality assessment of the included studies was performed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. RESULTS:After a strict filtering process, a total of 1149 patients from 15 studies were enrolled in this study. Pooled data showed that elevated level of SNHG20 was correlated not only with poor overall survival (HR = 2.49, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.05-2.98), but also with tumor-node-metastasis stage (TNM) (odds ratio (OR) = 3.32, 95% CI: 2.27-4.86), high histological grade (OR = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.55-2.87), tumor size (OR = 2.92, 95% CI: 2.17-3.91), and lymph node metastasis (OR = 4.48, 95% CI: 2.90-6.92). Of note, there is no significant heterogeneity difference among the studies. CONCLUSION:Up-regulated SNHG20 predicts unfavorable prognosis for multiple kinds of cancers although further studies are in need to verify its clinical applications.
