The abnormal expression of nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) may serve critical functions for the development and progression of various types of human tumor. However, the expression and biological function of NEAT1 in hepatoblastoma (HB) and the underlying mechanisms for the function of NEAT1 in HB remain largely uncharacterized. In the present study, the results of reverse tra...

Growing evidence demonstrates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the progression of various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The role of nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1), an essential lncRNA for the formation of nuclear body paraspeckles, has not been fully explored in HCC. We aimed to determine the expression, roles and functional mechanisms of N...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as new gene regulators and prognostic markers in various cancers. Although the lncRNA nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) has been associated with tumorigenesis, its functions in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have not been elucidated. We determined that NEAT1 is up-regulated in RCC tissue compared to corresponding non-tumor tissue. High NEAT1 ...

Dysregulation of long non-codng RNA (lncRNA) expression has been found to contribute to tumorigenesis. However, the roles of lncRNAs in BRCA1-related breast cancer remain largely unknown. In this study, we delineate the role of the novel BRCA1/lncRNA NEAT1 signaling axis in breast tumorigenesis. BRCA1 inhibits NEAT1 expression potentially through binding to its genomic binding site upstream of ...

Background Chemoresistance is one of the major obstacles for cancer therapy in the clinic. Nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) has been reported as an oncogene in most malignancies such as lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and gastric cancer. This study is designed to investigate the function of NEAT1 in paclitaxel (PTX) resistance of ovarian cancer and its potential molecular mecha...

BACKGROUND Nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) has been demonstrated to act as a tumor inhibitor in many cancers. However, the role of NEAT1 in the development of ovarian cancer (OC) remains far from being elaborated. Hence, the aim of this study is to investigate the expression and function of NEAT1 in OC. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expression level of NEAT1 was determined by quant...

The pathophysiological function of the forkhead transcription factor FOXN3 remains to be explored. Here we report that FOXN3 is a transcriptional repressor that is physically associated with the SIN3A repressor complex in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) cells. RNA immunoprecipitation-coupled high-throughput sequencing identified that NEAT1, an estrogen-inducible long noncoding RNA, is required...

Increasing evidence reveals that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the development of various human cancers including ovarian cancer. LncRNA nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) is an essential structural determinant of nuclear body paraspeckles. Although aberrant expression and prognostic value of NEAT1 has been recently reported in various human cancers, NEAT1 was not fu...

Background Long noncoding RNA nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) was reported to be aberrantly upregulated and promote esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cell progression. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism of NEAT1 involved in the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network in ESCC progression remains poorly defined. Methods The expressions of NEAT1, miR-129,...

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been identified to be involved in various diseases including cancer. NEAT1 is a recently identified lncRNA with its function largely unknown in human malignancy. In the present study, we investigated NEAT1 expression in 239 cases of clinical colorectal cancer specimens and matched normal tissues. Statistical methods were utilized to analyze the associ...
