Background/Aims: The long-noncoding RNA colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE) gene was first found to be activated in colorectal neoplasia. Now, it also has been found to be upregulated in many other solid tumors. Whether CRNDE affects tumorigenesis remains unknown. Methods: We conducted bioinformatics, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Western blot analysis, cell proliferation assay, colony formation assay, wound healing assay, cell migration and invasion assays, RNA immunoprecipitation, and reporter vector construction and luciferase assays. Results: CRNDE was upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The overexpression of CRNDE promoted HCC cellular proliferation, migration, and invasion in intro and in vivo, and acted as an oncogene in HCC progression. Furthermore, CRNDE impaired miR-136-5P expression in a RISC manner, and a reciprocal repression feedback loop was possible between CRNDE and miR-136-5P. We found that the neighboring mRNA of CRNDE was IRX5, and IRX5 increased the tumorigenicity of HCC cells. IRX5 was a potential downstream target gene of miR-136-5P. MiR-136 regulated IRX5 by interacting with its 3’UTR. In addition, miR-136-5P was involved in the CRNDE-regulated expression of IRX5. Conclusion: CRNDE acted as a tumor oncogene by exhibiting oncogenic properties of human HCC and revealed a novel CRNDE-miR-136-5P-IRX5 regulatory network in HCC. CRNDE may be considered to be a potential target for HCC therapies based on its ability to upregulate IRX5, and it deserves further investigation.

Lung tissue plays an important role in the respiratory system of mammals after birth. Early lung development includes six key stages, of which the saccular stage spans the pre- and neonatal periods and prepares the distal lung for alveolarization and gas-exchange. However, little is known about the changes in gene expression between fetal and neonatal lungs. In this study, we performed transcriptomic analysis of messenger RNA (mRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) expressed in the lung tissue of fetal and neonatal piglets. A total of 19,310 lncRNAs and 14,579 mRNAs were identified and substantially expressed. Furthermore, 3248 mRNAs were significantly (FDR-adjusted p value ≤ 0.05, FDR: False Discovery Rate) differentially expressed and were mainly enriched in categories related to cell proliferation, immune response, hypoxia response, and mitochondrial activation. For example, CCNA2, an important gene involved in the cell cycle and DNA replication, was upregulated in neonatal lungs. We also identified 452 significantly (FDR-adjusted p value ≤ 0.05) differentially expressed lncRNAs, which might function in cell proliferation, mitochondrial activation, and immune response, similar to the differentially expressed mRNAs. These results suggest that differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs might co-regulate lung development in early postnatal pigs. Notably, the TU64359 lncRNA might promote distal lung development by up-regulating the heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like (HB-EGF) expression. Our research provides basic lung development datasets and will accelerate clinical researches of newborn lung diseases with pig models.

Abstract Background: Sunite sheep are a fat-tailed sheep species with a low percentage of intramuscular fat and good quality lean meat, and their tail fat can be used as a source of dietary fat by humans. To understand the potential regulatory mechanism of different growth stages of tail fat in Sunite sheep, we performed high-throughput RNA sequencing to characterize the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression profiles of the sheep tail fat at the age of 6 months, 18 months, and 30 months.Results: A total of 223 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 148 differentially expressed lncRNAs were found in the tail fat of 6-, 18-, and 30-month-old sheep (false discovery rate < 0.05, |Fold Change| ≥ 2). Based on the Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis, we found that fat-related DEGs were mainly expressed at 6 months of age, and gradually decreased at 18 and 30 months of age. The target gene prediction analysis shows that most of the lncRNAs target more than 20 mRNAs as their trans-regulators (53 mRNAs at most). Further, we obtained several fat-related differentially-expressed target genes; these target genes interact with different differentially expressed lncRNAs at various ages and play an important role in the development of tail fat. Based on the DEGs and differentially expressed lncRNAs, we established three co-expression networks for each comparison group. Conclusions: Finally, we conclude that the development of the sheep tail fat is more active during the early stage of growth and gradually decreases with the increase in age. The mutual regulation of lncRNAs and mRNAs may play a key role in this complex biological process, and our findings will provide some basic theoretical data for future studies on tail fat development of fat-tailed sheep.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To investigate the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) expression profile of cementoblasts under compressive force. Materials and Methods: Mouse cementoblasts were exposed to compression (1.5 g/cm2) for 8 hours. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to compare the transcriptomes of the compressed and control cells. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to validate five of the differentially expressed lncRNAs of interest. Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were also performed. Results: A total of 70 lncRNAs and 521 mRNAs were differentially regulated in cementoblasts subjected to compressive loading. Among the differentially expressed lncRNAs, 57 were upregulated and 13 downregulated. The expression levels of the five selected lncRNAs (Prkcz2, Hklos, Trp53cor1, Gdap10, and Ak312-ps) were validated by qRT-PCR and consistent with the RNA-seq results. GO functional annotation demonstrated upregulation of genes associated with cellular response to hypoxia and apoptotic processes during compressive loading. KEGG analysis identified the crucial pathways involving the hypoxia-inducing factor-1α, forkhead box O, and mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathways. Conclusions: Mechanical compression changes the lncRNA expression profile of cementoblasts, providing important references for further investigation into the role and regulation of lncRNAs in compressed cementoblasts and root resorption during orthodontic treatment.

Background/Aims: The colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE) gene is a long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs) that is upregulated in colorectal cancer and glioma. Here, we investigated the regulatory function of CRNDE in gastric cancer (GC). Methods: CRNDE and miR-145 expression were assayed by qRT-PCR, and E2F3 protein expression was measured by western blotting. A luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the direct regulation of miR-145 by CRNDE. Cell viability and colony formation of human GC cells were detected using MTT and colony formation assay, respectively. Results: CRNDE was highly expressed in GC cell lines and tissues; overexpression of CRNDE increased GC cell viability and promoted colony formation. Knockdown of CRNDE did not result in loss of expression-related effects on cell proliferation and colony formation. Further investigation revealed that the miR-145 target gene E2F3 was strongly expressed following CRNDE competitive molecular sponging of miR-145. Conclusion: CRNDE acted as a growth-promoting lncRNA in GC and maybe a potential target of GC treatment.
