Background: In recent years, a variety of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has been confirmed to be involved in the initiation and progression of osteosarcoma. Taurine-up regulated gene 1 (TUG1) plays an important role in the formation, invasion, and metastasis of osteosarcoma. Therefore, perhaps TUG1 is a potential biomarker for the prognosis of patients suffering from osteosarcoma. In this study, meta-analysis and bioinformatics were adopted to further explore the effects of TUG1 on the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma and its potential molecular mechanism.
Methods: Embase, PubMed, Sinomed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, and Vip Journal Integration Platform were searched from inception to May 2021. The relationship between TUG1 expression and survival outcome was estimated by hazard ratio (HRs) and 95% confidence interval (CIs). Meta-analysis was conducted on the Stata 16.0. The differential expression of TUG1 in osteosarcoma was analyzed by using UALCAN database, and the survival of TUG1 was analyzed as well. The target genes of TUG1 were predicted by RegRNA2.0 biology software, HMDD, targetscan and microTCDS, and TUG1-micoRNAs-mRNAs regulatory network was constructed. The predicted target genes obtained GeneOntology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) signal transduction pathway enrichment analysis using FunRich platform.
Results: The results of this meta-analysis would be submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publication.
Conclusion: This study will provide evidence-based medical evidence for the relationship between TUG1 and the prognosis of osteosarcoma. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis will provide ideas for the exploration on osteosarcoma mechanism.
Ethics And Dissemination: The private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also should not damage participants' rights. Ethical approval is not available. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated in relevant conferences.

To maintain genomic stability, cells have evolved complex mechanisms collectively known as the DNA damage response (DDR), which includes DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoints, apoptosis, and gene expression regulation. Recent studies have revealed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are pivotal regulators of the DDR. Beyond their established roles in recruiting repair proteins and modulating gene expression, emerging evidence highlights two particularly intriguing functions.

Background And Aims: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance first identified during pregnancy that does not meet the criteria for overt diabetes. Its pathophysiology shares key features with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), including insulin resistance and inflammation. Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in T2D.

Background: The dysregulation of long-chain noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) causes several complex human diseases including neurodegenerative disorders across the globe.
Methods And Results: This study aimed to investigate lncRNA expression profiles of Withania somnifera (WS)-treated human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells at different timepoints (3 & 9 h) and concentrations (50 & 100 µg/mL) using RNA sequencing. Differential gene expression analysis showed a total of 4772 differentially expressed lncRNAs, out of which 3971 were upregulated and 801 were downregulated compared to controls.

Background: The roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the progression of various human tumors have been extensively studied. However, their specific mechanisms and therapeutic potential in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) remain to be fully elucidated.
Materials And Methods: The qRT-PCR assay was utilized to assess the relative mRNA levels of TFAP2A-AS1, PHGDH, and miR-6892.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery remains the gold standard of care to prevent myocardial ischemia in patients with advanced atherosclerosis; however, poor long-term graft patency remains a considerable and long-standing problem. Excessive vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation in the grafted tissue is recognized as central to late CABG failure. We previously identified SMILR, a human-specific SMC-enriched long noncoding RNA that drives SMC proliferation, suggesting that targeting SMILR expression could be a novel way to prevent neointima formation, and thus CABG failure.
