Gene expression profiling in E 11 mouse embryos identified high expression of the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), LNCRNA-HIT in the undifferentiated limb mesenchyme, gut, and developing genital tubercle. In the limb mesenchyme, LncRNA-HIT was found to be retained in the nucleus, forming a complex with p100 and CBP. Analysis of the genome-wide distribution of LncRNA-HIT-p100/CBP complexes by ChIRP-...

BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most common lethal malignant tumors worldwide. The correlation between lncRNAs expression and CRC development has not been well identified in the recent literature. This study focused on the role of lncRNA-ROR on CRC progression and development. MATERIAL AND METHODS Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assay was conducted to identify the exp...

OBJECTIVE Long non-coding RNA growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (lncRNA GAS5) is involved in various kinds of cancer. However, the role of lncGAS5 in the development of ovarian cancer remains unclear. In the current study, we explored the cellular mechanism and clinical value of lncRNA GAS5 in ovarian cancer. METHODS Quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect mRNA level of LncRNA GAS5 in...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which have evolved as important gene expression modulators, are involved in human malignancies. The down-regulation of lncRNA growth arrest specific transcript 5 (GAS5) has been reported in several cancers, however, the underlying mechanism of lncRNA GAS5 in stomach cancer is poorly understood. In this study, we found that lncRNA GAS5 had lower expression in stom...

Long non-coding RNA urothelial carcinoma associated 1 (lncRNA-UCA1) is upregulated in bladder cancer and plays a pivotal role in bladder cancer progression and metastasis. Recent studies and our research found that lncRNA-UCA1 may be an important biomarker and therapeutic target for bladder cancer. However, the molecular mechanism involved in the upregulation of lncRNA-UCA1 in bladder cancer is...

BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most common malignant tumors developed in the bone. EZH2 has been found to play pivotal roles in the development of various cancers. LncRNA-ANCR (anti-differentiation ncRNA) has been reported to interact with EZH2 and regulated osteoblast differentiation. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of lncRNA-ANCR on the tumorigenesis of osteosarcoma and ...

BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of tumor progression. However, the role and molecular mechanism of lncRNA XIST in gastric cancer is still unknown. METHODS Real-time PCR analysis was performed to measure the expression levels of lncRNA XIST in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines, the correlation between lncRNA XIST expression and clinicopathologi...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to be dysregulated in a variety of tumors. The lncRNA-Low Expression in Tumor (LET) is a recently identified lncRNA, but its expression pattern and biological significance in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are still largely unknown. In this study, we found that lncRNA-LET was significantly downregulated in human NSCLC lung tissues and cel...

Recent advances have highlighted the important roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in a number of biological processes, including oncogenesis. However, the function of lncRNA cartilage injury-related (lncRNA-CIR) in bladder cancer progression remains elusive. A novel function for lncRNA-CIR in bladder cancer was identified in the present study. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase ...

background: ovarian cancer is the most fatal tumor of female's reproductive system, and several genetics and environmental factors are involved in its development. various studies have already identified suitable biomarkers to facilitate the early detection, prognosis evaluation, and the assessment of treatment response. however, the aim of this review was to investigate the role of long n...
