Article Abstract

Background And Objectives: This study aims to explore the effects of a long non-coding RNA, LINC00525, on colorectal cancer (CRC) and its underlying molecular mechanisms.

Methods: The qPCR, MTT, colony formation, Western blotting, Luciferase reporter and biotin pull-down, shRNA knockdown and DNA fragmentation assays were performed in this study.

Results: High expressions of LINC00525 were associated with poor prognosis of CRC patients. LINC00525 knockdown decreased stemness properties and increased sensitivities to oxaliplatin. MiR-507 was a direct target of LINC00525 and overexpression of miR-507 significantly decreased abilities of tumorsphere formation and cell growth. Overexpression of miR-507 resulted in a decrease of expression of cancer stem cell markers and the increase of apoptosis rates. MiR-507 regulated the expression of ELK3. In addition, LINC00525 knockdown decreased the expression of ELK3. Restoration of ELK3 expression abrogated the effects of LINC00525 knockdown. LINC00525 could be served as prognostic marker of CRC.

Conclusions: LINC00525 enhanced stemness properties and increased sensitivities of CRC cells to oxaliplatin by targeting miR-507/ELK3 axis.

LINC00525, a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), has been implicated in the regulation of cancer progression across various types. However, its role in bladder cancer (BLCA) remains unconfirmed. In this study, we observed upregulation of LINC00525 expression in both bladder cancer tissues and cell lines compared to normal controls.

The etiology of hypertrophic scar formation continues to elude researchers, despite advancements in the understanding of skin scarring. Several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertrophic scars, yet the role and molecular mechanisms of LINC00525 in this process remain unclear. This study demonstrates that LINC00525 enhances cell proliferation and collagen expression through knockdown and overexpression techniques.

Introduction: CD24 is a highly glycosylated glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored membrane protein that plays an important role in tumor progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of abnormal expression of CD24 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of breast cancer (BC) cells, and the molecular mechanism of regulating CD24 expression in breast cancer.

Methodology: The bioinformatics method was used to predict the expression level of CD24 in BC and its relationship with the occurrence and development of BC.

Objective: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant tumour in the oral cavity. OSCC is aggressive and prone to metastasis; it is associated with high mortality and short survival. In this study, we investigated the function of the long non-coding RNA LINC00525 in OSCC progression and the molecular mechanisms through in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in various cancers. In the present study, we aim to investigate the function and molecular mechanism of an up-regulated and survival-associated lncRNA, LINC00525, in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).

Methods: The expression level of LINC00525 in tissues was determined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and in situ hybridization (ISH).
