Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by synovial hyperplasia, and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) constitute the majority of cells in the synovial tissue, playing a crucial role in the onset of RA. Dysregulation of FLSs function is a critical strategy in treating joint damage associated with RA. Non-coding RNAs, a class of RNA molecules that do not encode proteins, participate in the development of various diseases. This article aims to review the progress in the study of long non-coding RNAs, microRNAs, and circular RNAs in FLSs. Non-coding RNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of RA, directly or indirectly regulating FLSs' proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis, and inflammatory responses. Furthermore, non-coding RNAs also influence DNA methylation and osteogenic differentiation in FLSs. Therefore, non-coding RNAs hold promise as biomarkers for diagnosing RA. Targeting non-coding RNAs in FLSs locally represents a potential strategy for future therapies in RA.

Objectives: To study the molecular mechanisms of LDH-loaded si-NEAT1 for regulating paclitaxel resistance and tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) polarization in breast cancer.
Methods: qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of lncRNA NEAT1, miR-133b, and PD-L1 in breast cancer SKBR3 cells and paclitaxel-resistant SKBR3 cells (SKBR3-PR). The effects of transfection with si-NEAT1 and miR-133b mimics on MRP, MCRP and PD-L1 expressions and cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis were investigated using qRT-PCR, Western blotting, scratch and Transwell assays, and flow cytometry.

Molecular property prediction has become essential in accelerating advancements in drug discovery and materials science. Graph Neural Networks have recently demonstrated remarkable success in molecular representation learning; however, their broader adoption is impeded by two significant challenges: (1) data scarcity and constrained model generalization due to the expensive and time-consuming task of acquiring labeled data and (2) inadequate initial node and edge features that fail to incorporate comprehensive chemical domain knowledge, notably orbital information. To address these limitations, we introduce a Knowledge-Guided Graph (KGG) framework employing self-supervised learning to pretrain models using orbital-level features in order to mitigate reliance on extensive labeled data sets.

TLR8 and TLR9 are innate immune receptors belonging to the TLR family that are essential for viral recognition and early immune activation. Their dysfunction is linked to increased susceptibility to infections. TLR8 detects viral single- and double-stranded RNA, while TLR9 recognizes viral DNA molecules with CpG motifs.

Epigenetic mechanisms are essential in neurogenesis during development and adulthood. DNA methylation, histone post-translational modifications, and non-coding RNAs regulate gene expression to maintain the neural stem cell pool and direct the fate of newborn neurons by modulating cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, maturation, and survival. Adult neurogenesis exhibits bidirectional interactions with non-social and socio-sexual factors such as sexual behavior, mate recognition, pair bonding, parental behavior, and offspring recognition.
