Article Abstract

Breast phyllodes tumor (PT) is a rare fibroepithelial neoplasm with potential malignant behavior. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play multifaceted roles in various cancers, but their involvement in breast PT remains largely unexplored. In this study, microarray was leveraged for the first time to investigate the role of lncRNA in PT. We identified lncRNA ZFPM2-AS1 was significantly upregulated in malignant PT, and its overexpression endowed PT with high tumor grade and adverse prognosis. Furthermore, we elucidated that ZFPM2-AS1 promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of malignant PT . Targeting ZFPM2-AS1 through nanomaterial-mediated siRNA delivery in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model could effectively inhibit tumor progression . Mechanistically, our findings showed that ZFPM2-AS1 is competitively bound to CDC42, inhibiting ACK1 and STAT1 activation, thereby launching the transcription of TNFRSF19. In conclusion, our study provides evidence that ZFPM2-AS1 plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of breast PT, and suggests that ZFPM2-AS1 could serve as a prognostic indicator for patients with PT as well as a promising novel therapeutic target.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the most prevalent digestive system malignancies and is associated with a poor prognosis. Necroptosis, a form of regulated death mediated by death receptors, exhibits characteristics of both necrosis and apoptosis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as crucial regulators in tumor necroptosis.

Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in diseases, especially tumorigenesis, including gastric cancer (GC). Although lncRNAs in GC tissues have been extensively studied in previous research, the possible significance of circulating lncRNAs in diagnosing GC is still unknown.

Objective: The present work investigated lncRNAs ZFPM2-AS1 and XIST with high expression in GC tissues proved as potential plasma biomarkers from 20 early GC cases, 100 GC cases, and 90 normal subjects.
