Long noncoding RNAs metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) can regulate tumorigenesis and progression of various cancers. However, there is little known about the tumor biology and regulatory mechanism of MALAT1 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value and potential functions of MALAT1 in ccRCC based on the cancer genome atlas. Through bioinformatics research, we analyzed the expression of MALAT1 in ccRCC, and the relationship with clinicopathological features, overall survival and infiltration of immune cells, and established the prognostic models. The results showed that MALAT1 was highly expressed in ccRCC tissues and predicted poor ccRCC patient outcome. The expression level of MALAT1 was significantly correlated with histologic grade, pathologic grade, T stage, M stage. ROC curve showed that MALAT1 had a good diagnostic accuracy, area under the curve of 0.752. The univariate and multivariate cox regression analysis showed that high MALAT1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in the cancer genome atlas (hazard ratio = 2.271, 95% confidence interval: 1.435-3.593, P < .001). Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that MALAT1 expression was associated with the DNA methylation, epigenetic regulation of gene expression signaling pathway. In addition, the prognostic models were established to predict 1-, 3- and 5-year survival. This study showed that high expression of MALAT1 might be a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.

This study, based on datasets from healthy tissues, lactating mammary epithelial cells, and breast cancer phenotypes, investigates mammary gland pathophysiology at single-cell resolution to identify key regulators in breast cancer development and to gain a deeper understanding of its biology and heterogeneity. We suggest that antileukoproteinase (SLPI) has prognostic value associated with metastasis in basal breast cancers. Our analysis highlights the similarity between triple-negative breast cancer cells and mature luminal lactocytes, which share active regulons (SOX2, MTHFD1, POU4F3, and ZNF32), suggesting conserved molecular mechanisms.

Long non-coding RNA MALAT1 regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) through a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism involving miRNA modulation. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular pathway by which MALAT1 influences EMT and metastatic behavior via interaction with miR-200c-3p and SNAI2. MALAT1 expression was genetically manipulated in the EOC cell line SK-OV-3 by either overexpression or knockdown.

Background And Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep breathing disorder, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may affect OSAS. This study aimed to explore the influence of exosomes (Exos) derived from liver cells in NAFLD on the progression of OSAS and the underlying molecular mechanisms.
Methods: C57BL/6J mice were exposed to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) to establish an OSAS animal model, and SH-SY5Y cells treated with CIH were used as the in vitro cellular model.

Introduction: Venous malformations are the most common congenital vascular anomaly, accounting for 65 % of all congenital vascular abnormalities. This study aims to investigate the correlation between genetic polymorphisms of and the risk of developing venous malformations.
Methods: We collected samples and clinical data from a Chinese pediatric population (1113 patients and 1158 controls).
