Although the upregulation of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) expression and downregulation of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LET expression are known to be associated with cell apoptosis and proliferation, little is known about the interaction of EZH2 with lncRNA LET. The present study aimed to investigate the interaction of EZH2 and lncRNA LET, and the mechanism of human dermal fibroblast (HD...

Long-chain noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is a new class of molecular regulators in heart development and disease. However, the role specific lncRNA cardiac fibrosis remains to be fully explored. This study aimed investigate potential mechanism MHRT myocardial after infarction (MI).

BACKGROUND Many long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs) have been found to be a good marker for several tumors. Using lncRNA-mining approach, we aimed to identify lncRNA expression signature that can predict breast cancer patient survival. METHODS We performed LncRNA expression profiling in 887 breast cancer patients from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. The association between lncRNA signature ...

Colon cancer is the most common type of gastrointestinal cancer and is still the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been proved to be superior biomarkers in cancer diagnosis and prognosis than miRNAs and protein-coding genes. In the current study, our objective was to detect novel lncRNA biomarkers by analyzing lncRNA expression profiles and...

Increasing studies have revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are not transcriptional noise but play important roles in the regulation of a wide range of biological processes, and the dysregulation of lncRNA genes is associated with disease development. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. However, little is k...

MicroRNA (miRNA) have gained widespread attention for their role in diverse vascular processes including angiogenesis, apoptosis, proliferation, and migration. Despite great understanding of miRNA expression and function, knowledge of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) molecular mechanisms still remains limited. The influence of miRNA on lncRNA function, and the converse, is now beginning to emerge. l...

BACKGROUND The relationships between lncRNAs and tumors have currently become one of the focuses on cancer studies. However, there are a few studies about lncRNAs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at present. METHODS Microarray analysis was designed to study the expression patterns of lncRNAs in three pairs of NSCLC tissues. The expression of lncRNA RGMB-AS1 and repulsive guidance molecul...

Purpose Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of diverse biological functions. However, an extensive in-depth analysis of their expression profile and function in mammalian eyes is still lacking. Here we describe comprehensive landscapes of stage-dependent and tissue-specific lncRNA expression in the mouse eye. Methods Affymetrix transcriptome array profiled lncRNA signatures...

Many long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) species have been identified in mammalian cells, but the genomic origin and regulation of these molecules in individual cell types is poorly understood. We have generated catalogs of lncRNA species expressed in human and murine embryonic stem cells and mapped their genomic origin. A surprisingly large fraction of these transcripts (>60%) originate from divergent...
