Summary: Differentiation antagonizing non-protein coding RNA plays a crucial role in the progression of hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma. Circulating exosomal differentiation antagonizing non-protein coding RNA may serve as a non-invasive prognostic biomarker for predicting the outcome of hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma.

Summary: This study utilized high-throughput sequencing to analyze the transcriptome of tiger pufferfish gonads, identifying numerous miRNAs and lncRNAs potentially involved in regulating sex-related gene expression. Differential expression analysis revealed specific miRNAs and lncRNAs that were up-regulated or down-regulated in male gonads compared to female gonads. These findings could lead to further research on the function of miRNAs and lncRNAs in sex determination and differentiation.

Summary: This article investigates a previously unstudied group of lncRNAs, lncCOBRA, and demonstrates that one member, lncCOBRA1, shows tissue and developmental specific expression in Arabidopsis thaliana. It is shown that plants lacking lncCOBRA1 exhibit delayed germination and stunted growth, indicating the important role of lncCOBRA1 in plant development.

Summary: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that results in the loss of alveolar bone and periodontal ligament. Genetic factors contribute to roughly half of severe cases. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, influencing processes such as osteogenic differentiation, inflammation, and apoptosis.

Summary: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles in gene regulation, chromatin remodeling, and development. Understanding the protein interactions of lncRNAs is important for elucidating their functions and mechanisms. Mass spectrometry and other methods have identified many proteins that interact with lncRNAs.

Summary: This study identifies lncRNA BC002811 as a critical regulator in the development and progression of gastric cancer. BC002811 is upregulated in GC tissues and cell lines and its high expression is associated with reduced overall survival in GC patients. BC002811 promotes GC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and inhibits apoptosis in vitro, and accelerates tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. It upregulates MMP2 and MMP9 and promotes GC cell metastasis by downregulating PTEN expression and blocking SOX2 binding to the PTEN promoter.

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: Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) are a group of long non-coding RNAs that do not overlap with protein-coding genes, playing roles in chromatin configurations and cancer pathoetiology. LINC00460, a member of this group, acts as a sponge for tumor suppressor miRNAs, increasing oncogenic targets expression and affecting chemotherapeutic agents sensitivity of cancer cells.

Summary: This study investigated the expression and clinical significance of SOX2OT, DANCR, and TINCR in papillary thyroid cancer. The results showed that the expression levels of SOX2OT and DANCR were increased in tumor samples, while TINCR expression did not show significant difference. Furthermore, the expression of SOX2OT and DANCR was associated with certain clinical characteristics. The findings suggest that DANCR may contribute to the development of papillary thyroid cancer, while SOX2OT may contribute to both the development and progression of the cancer.

Summary: This study identified a differentiation-related lncRNA, TINCR, in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). TINCR was found to be downregulated in tumor tissues and correlated with pathological differentiation and lymph node metastasis. Function experiments showed that TINCR played a crucial role in cell differentiation and suppressed cell migration and invasion in OSCC.

Summary: Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and chemotherapy is an important treatment method. However, most patients develop resistance to chemotherapy drugs. Recent studies have found that lncRNAs are involved in gastric cancer drug resistance and they regulate drug resistance through various mechanisms. Some lncRNAs have potential clinical applications.
