The Long Noncoding RNA MEG3 Is Downregulated and Inversely Associated with VEGF Levels in Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is becoming a major public health problem in China, especially considering the increase in average life expectancy of the population. Thus, enhanced understanding of the molecular changes associated with OA is urgently needed to develop more effective strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of this debilitating disease. LncRNAs play an important role in the processes of b...
متن کاملIdentification of long noncoding RNA associated with osteoarthritis in humans.
OBJECTIVE Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are an important class of genes involved in various biological functions; however, knowledge about lncRNAs in osteoarthritis (OA) is limited. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify which lncRNAs are expressed in OA versus normal cartilage. METHODS To identify lncRNAs specifically expressed in OA cartilage, expression of lncRNAs in OA cartilage w...
متن کاملDownregulation of long noncoding RNA MEG3 is associated with poor prognosis and promoter hypermethylation in cervical cancer
BACKGROUND Our previous study reported that MEG3 is an important tumor suppressor gene that is inactivated in cervical cancer. However, the diagnostic and prognostic values of MEG3, as well as the molecular mechanism of MEG3 inactivation in cervical cancer, remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to further elucidate the role and potential inactivation mechanism of MEG3 in cervical cancer. ME...
متن کاملThe Long Noncoding RNA MEG3 Contributes to Cisplatin Resistance of Human Lung Adenocarcinoma
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as oncogenes or tumor suppressors that are involved in tumorigenesis and chemotherapy drug resistance. Maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) is an imprinted gene located at 14q32 that encodes an lncRNA, and decreased MEG3 expression plays an important role in multiple cancers. However, its biological role in the development of the chemoresistance ...
متن کاملLong noncoding RNA MEG3 suppressed endothelial cell proliferation and migration through regulating miR-21.
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) act critical roles in many biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, development, invasion and migration. LncRNA maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) is found to be downregulated in several tumors; however, its role in the atherosclerosis is still unknown. In the present study, we demonstrated that MEG3 expression level was downregulated in the ...
