Expression and significant roles of the long non-coding RNA CASC19/miR-491-5p/HMGA2 axis in the development of gastric cancer

BACKGROUND Gastric cancer(GC)is a common malignant tumor,long non-coding RNA and microRNA(miRNA)are important regulators that affect tumor proliferation,metastasis and chemotherapy resistance,and thus participate in tumor progression.CASC19 is a new bio-marker which can promote tumor invasion and metastasis.However,the mechanism by which CASC19 affects the progression of GC through miRNA is not clear.AIM To explore the role of the CASC19/miR-491-5p/HMGA2 regulatory axis in GC.METHODS To explore the expression and prognosis of CASC19 in GC through clinical samples,and investigate the effects of inhibiting CASC19 on the proliferation,migration,invasion and other functions of GC cells through cell counting Kit-8(CCK-8),ethynyldeoxyuridine,Wound healing assay,Transwell,Western blot and flow cytometry experiments.The effect of miR-491-5p and HMGA2 in GC were also proved.The regulatory relationship between CASC19 and miR-491-5p,miR-491-5p and HMGA2 were validated through Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and reverse transcription PCR.Then CCK-8,Transwell,Wound healing assay,flow cytometry and animal experiments verify the role of CASC19/miR-491-5p/HMGA2 regulatory axis.RESULTS The expression level of CASC19 is related to the T stage,N stage,and tumor size of patients.Knockdown of the expression of CASC19 can inhibit the ability of proliferation,migration,invasion and EMT conversion of GC cells,and knocking down the expression of CASC19 can promote the apoptosis of GC cells.Increasing the expression of miR-491-5p can inhibit the proliferation of GC cells,miR-491-5p mimics can inhibit EMT conversion,and promote the apoptosis of GC cells,while decreasing the expression of miR-491-5p can promote the proliferation and EMT conversion and inhibit the apoptosis of GC cells.The expression of HMGA2 in GC tissues is higher than that in adjacent tissues.At the same time,the expression level of HMGA2 is related to the N and T stages of the patients.Reducing the level of HMGA2 can promote cell apoptosis and inhibit the proliferation of GC cells.Cell experiments and animal experiments have proved that CASC19 can regulates the expression of HMGA2 through miR-491-5p,thereby affecting the biological functions of GC.CONCLUSION CASC19 regulates the expression of HMGA2 through miR-491-5p to affect the development of GC.This axis may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target of GC.

Long noncoding RNAs HAND2-AS1 ultrasound microbubbles suppress hepatocellular carcinoma progression by regulating the miR-873-5p/tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 axis

BACKGROUND Increasing data indicated that long noncoding RNAs(lncRNAs)were directly or indirectly involved in the occurrence and development of tumors,including hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Recent studies had found that the expression of lncRNA HAND2-AS1 was downregulated in HCC tissues,but its role in HCC progression is unclear.Ultrasound targeted microbubble destruction mediated gene transfection is a new method to overexpress genes.AIM To study the role of ultrasound microbubbles(UTMBs)mediated HAND2-AS1 in the progression of HCC,in order to provide a new reference for the treatment of HCC.METHODS In vitro,we transfected HAND2-AS1 siRNA into HepG2 cells by UTMBs,and detected cell proliferation,apoptosis,invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)by cell counting kit-8 assay,flow cytometry,Transwell invasion assay and Western blotting,respectively.In addition,we transfected miR-837-5p mimic into UTMBs treated cells and observed the changes of cell behavior.Next,the UTMBs treated HepG2 cells were transfected together with miR-837-5p mimic and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2(TIMP2)overexpression vector,and we detected cell proliferation,apoptosis,invasion and EMT.In vivo,we established a mouse model of subcutaneous transplantation of HepG2 cells and observed the effect of HAND2-AS1 silencing on tumor formation ability.RESULTS We found that UTMBs carrying HAND2-AS1 restricted cell proliferation,invasion,and EMT,encouraged apoptosis,and HAND2-AS1 silencing eliminated the effect of UTMBs.Additionally,miR-873-5p targets the gene HAND2-AS1,which also targets the 3’UTR of TIMP2.And miR-873-5p mimic counteracted the impact of HAND2-AS1.Further,miR-873-5p mimic solely or in combination with pcDNA-TIMP2 had been transformed into HepG2 cells exposed to UTMBs.We discovered that TIMP2 reversed the effect of miR-873-5p mimic caused by the blocked signalling cascade for matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)2/MMP9.In vivo results showed that HAND2-AS1 silencing significantly inhibited tumor formation in mice.CONCLUSION LncRNA HAND2-AS1 promotes TIMP2 expression by targeting miR-873-5p to inhibit HepG2 cell growth and delay HCC progression.

Mechanism and technology study of collaborative support with long and short bolts in large-deformation roadways

Common short bolts of equal length are widely used to support the roofs of roadways in coal mines.However, they are insufficient to keep the roof stable against large deformations, so docking long bolts with high levels of elongation that can adapt to large deformations of the surrounding rock have been adopted. This paper proposes a collaborative support method that uses long and short bolts. In this study,the mechanism of docking long bolts and collaborative support was studied. Numerical simulation, similarity simulation, and field testing were used to analyze the distribution law of the displacement, stress,and plastic failure in the surrounding rock under different support schemes. Compared with the equal-length short bolt support, the collaborative support changed the maximum principal stress of the shallow roof from tensile stress to compressive stress, and the minimum principal stress of the roof significantly increased. The stress concentration degree of the anchorage zone clearly increased. The deformation of the roof and the two sides was greatly reduced, and the subsidence shape of the shallow roof changed from serrated to a smooth curve. The roof integrity was enhanced, and the roof moved down as a whole. Plastic failure significantly decreased, and the plastic zone of the roof was within the anchorage range. The similarity simulation results showed that, under the maximum mining stress,the roof collapsed with the equal-length short bolt support but remained stable with the collaborative support. The collaborative support method was successfully applied in the field and clearly improved the stability of the surrounding rock for a large deformation roadway.

LncRNA AFAP1-AS1 exhibits oncogenic characteristics and promotes gemcitabine-resistance of cervical cancer cells through miR-7-5p/EGFR axis

Background:Drug resistance is the main factor contributing to cancer recurrence and poor prognosis.Exploration of drug resistance-related mechanisms and effective therapeutic targets are the aim of molecular targeted therapy.In our study,the role of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)AFAP1-AS1 in gemcitabine resistance and related mechanisms were explored in cervical cancer cells.Methods:Gemcitabine-resistant cervical cancer cell lines HT-3-Gem and SW756-Gem were constructed using the gemcitabine concentration gradient method.The overall survival rates and recurrence-free survival rates were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis.The interaction was verified through a Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and a Biotinylated RNA pull-down assay.Cell proliferation ability was assessed through methyl-thiazolyl-tetrazolium(MTT),soft agar,and colony formation experiments.Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected byflow cytometry.Results:Up-regulation of AFAP1-AS1 in cervical cancer predicted a poor prognosis.Besides,patients in the gemcitabine-resistance group had higher levels of AFAP1-AS1 than the gemcitabine-sensitive group.AFAP1-AS1 promoted tumor growth and induced gemcitabine tolerance of cervical cancer cells.In addition,AFAP1-AS1 mediated epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)expression by serving as a molecular sponge for microRNA-7a-5p(miR-7-5p).This present study also proved that the knockdown of EGFR or overexpression of miR-7a-5p abolished the accelerative role of AFAP1-AS1 overexpression in cancer progression and gemcitabine tolerance.Conclusions:In general,the AFAP1-AS1/miR-7-5p/EGFR axis was tightly related to the progression and gemcitabine tolerance of cervical cancer,providing potential targets for the management of cervical cancer.

Long non-coding RNA highly up-regulated in liver cancer promotes exosome secretion

BACKGROUND Highly upregulated in liver cancer (HULC) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) which has recently been identified as a key regulator in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. However, its role in the secretion of exosomes from HCC cells remains unknown. AIM To explore the mechanism by which HULC promotes the secretion of exosomes from HCC cells. METHODS Serum and liver tissue samples were collected from 30 patients with HCC who had not received chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy before surgery. HULC expression in serum exosomes and liver cancer tissues of patients was measured, and compared with the data obtained from healthy controls and tumor adjacent tissues. The effect of HULC upregulation in HCC cell lines and the relationship between HULC and other RNAs were studied using qPCR and dualluciferase reporter assays. Nanoparticle tracking analysis was performed to detect the quantity of exosomes.RESULTS HULC expression in serum exosomes of patients with HCC was higher than that in serum exosomes of healthy controls, and HULC levels were higher in liver cancer tissues than in tumor adjacent tissues. The expression of HULC in serum exosomes and liver cancer tissues correlated with the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) classification, and HULC expression in tissues correlated with that in serum exosomes. Upregulation of HULC promoted HCC cell growth and invasion and repressed apoptosis. Notably, it also facilitated the secretion of exosomes from HCC cells. Moreover, qPCR assays showed that HULC repressed microRNA-372-3p (miR-372-3p) expression. We also identified Rab11a as a downstream target of miR-372-3p. Dual-luciferase reporter assays suggested that miR-372-3p could directly bind both HULC and Rab11a. CONCLUSION Our findings illustrate the importance of the HULC/miR-372-3p/Rab11a axis in HCC and provide new insights into the molecular mechanism regulating the secretion of exosomes from HCC cells.

Long noncoding RNA RP4 functions as a competing endogenous RNA through miR-7-5p sponge activity in colorectal cancer

AIM To investigate the role of long noncoding RNA(lnc RNA) RP4 in colorectal cancer.METHODS Lentivirus-mediated lnc RNA RP4 overexpression and knockdown were performed in the colorectal cancer cell line SW480. Cell proliferation, tumor growth, and early apoptosis were evaluated by a cell counting kit-8 assay, an in vivo xenograft tumor model, and annexin V/propidium iodide staining, respectively. Analysis of the lnc RNA RP4 mechanism involved assessment of the association of its expression with mi R-7-5 p and the SH3 GLB1 gene. Western blot analysis was also performed to assess the effect of lnc RNA RP4 on the autophagy-mediated cell death pathway and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase(PI3 K)/Akt signaling.RESULTS Cell proliferation, tumor growth, and early apoptosis in SW480 cells were negatively regulated by lnc RNA RP4. Functional experiments indicated that lnc RNA RP4 directly upregulated SH3 GLB1 expression by acting as a competing endogenous RNA(ce RNA) for mi R-7-5 p. This interaction led to activation of the autophagy-mediated cell death pathway and de-repression of PI3 K and Akt phosphorylation in colorectal cancer cells in vivo.CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that lnc RNA RP4 is a ce RNA that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer, and could be a potential therapeutic target for colorectal cancer treatment.

Analytical models for the penetration of semi-infinite targets by rigid,deformable and erosive long rods

A theoretical study is presented herein on the pen- etration of a semi-infinite target by a spherical-headed long rod for Yp 〉 S, where Yp is the penetrator strength and S is the static target resistance. For Yp 〉 S, depending upon initial impact velocity, there exist three types of penetration, namely, penetration by a rigid long rod, penetration by a deforming non-erosive long rod and penetration by an erosive long rod. If the impact velocity of the penetrator is higher than the hydrodynamic velocity （VH）, it will penetrate the target in an erosive mode; if the impact velocity lies between the hydrodynamic velocity （VH） and the rigid body velocity （VR）, it will penetrate the target in a deformable mode; if the impact velocity is less than the rigid body velocity （VR）, it will penetrate the target in a rigid mode. The critical conditions for the transition among these three penetration modes are proposed. It is demonstrated that the present model predictions correlate well with the experimental observations in terms of depth of penetration （DOP） and the critical transition conditions.

BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal cancer(PDAC)has high malignancy and poor prognosis.Long noncoding RNAs(lncRNAs)are associated with high levels of malignancy,including PDAC.However,the biological and clinical significance of negative regulator of antiviral response(NRAV)in PDAC is unclear.AIM To study the regulatory role of lncRNA NRAV in PDAC.METHODS GEPIA analyzed lncRNA NRAV and miRNA(miR-299-3p)expression levels in PDAC tissues and measured them in PDAC cells by quantitative measurements in real time.The specific role of NRAV and miR-299-3p in cell proliferation and transfer potential was evaluated by cell formation analysis,Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell analysis.The relationship between NRAV and miR-299-3p was studied by predictive bioinformatics,RNA immunoassay,and fluorescence enzyme analysis.In vivo experiments included transplantation of simulated tumor cells under naked mice.RESULTS The expression level of lncRNA NRAV was higher in both tumor tissues and cell lines of PDAC and was negatively associated with the clinical survival of PDAC patients.Functionally,overexpression of NRAV promoted cell proliferation and metastasis of PDAC cells,while knockdown of NRAV reversed these effects.Finally,NRAV was performed as a molecular sponge of miR-299-3p.Moreover,overexpression of miR-299-3p could reverse the promoting effects of NRAV on cell proliferation and metastasis of PDAC cells.CONCLUSION NRAV facilitates progression of PDAC as a molecular sponge of miR-299-3p and may be a potential molecular marker for diagnosis and treatment of PDAC.
