Summary: This study investigated the role of long non-coding RNA CYTOR in gastric carcinoma (GC) progression. The results showed that CYTOR was upregulated in GC cells and its knockdown inhibited GC cell growth. Additionally, miR-136-5p was identified as a target of CYTOR in modulating GC progression, with HOXC10 as its downstream target.

Summary: Known as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), they are essential in regulating tumour metastasis. In gastric carcinoma (GC), lncRNA cytoskeleton regulator (CYTOR) was found to be upregulated and to play a role in promoting GC progression by modulating the miR-136-5p/HOXC10 axis. This study provides insights into the potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of GC.

Summary: This study investigated the role of hsa_circ_0008434 in gastric cancer (GC) and found that it is highly expressed in GC tissues, promoting proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells by acting as a miRNA sponge for miR-6838-5p to upregulate USP9X expression. Animal studies confirmed that hsa_circ_0008434 can promote tumor growth in vivo.

Summary: The study identified hsa_circ_0110389 as a novel upregulated circRNA in malignant-transformed gastric cancer cells, and found that it promotes gastric cancer progression via the miR-127-5p/miR-136-5p-SORT1 pathway. This circRNA may serve as a diagnostic/prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for gastric cancer.

Summary: This study revealed that Lnc_ASNR is highly expressed in gastric cancer and promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by regulating the miR-519e-5p/FGFR2 pathway. Lnc_ASNR functions as a ceRNA targeting miR-519e-5p, and its effects are closely related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in gastric cancer development.

Summary: Gastric cancer is a highly prevalent and fatal malignancy worldwide. The study discovered that circular RNA circ-HN1 regulates cellular processes in gastric cancer. By acting as a sponge for miR-485-5p, circ-HN1 negatively regulates its expression in gastric cancer cells and targets GSK3A. Silencing the circ-HN1-miR-485-5p-GSK3A regulatory network inhibits gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.

Summary: The study demonstrated that SNHG6 is highly expressed in HCC tissues and knocking down SNHG6 reduces proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of cells in vitro. The research also revealed the direct binding of miR-6509-5p to SNHG6 and the regulation of HIF1A expression through the SNHG6/miR-6509-5p axis. Furthermore, down-regulation of SNHG6 significantly decreased tumor growth ability of Huh7 cells in vivo, suggesting the potential of SNHG6/miR-6509-5p/HIF1A axis as therapeutic targets for HCC.

Summary: The study found that LINC00941 acts as an oncogene in the progression of pancreatic cancer, functioning as a ceRNA for miR-335-5p. High expression of LINC00941 was associated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and poor prognosis, and its silencing significantly inhibited cell growth and metastasis in PC.

Summary: This study identified several lncRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and developed a nomogram model to predict lymph node metastasis (LN) in PTC patients. Additionally, a pathway involving lncMPEG1-1:1/miR-766-5p was discovered to be associated with thyroid cancer progression.
