Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a fundamental role in colorectal cancer (CRC) development, however, lncRNA expression profiles in CRC and its precancerous stages remain to be explored. We aimed to study whole genomic lncRNA expression patterns in colorectal adenoma–carcinoma transition and to analyze the underlying functional interactions of aberrantly expressed lncRNAs. Methods LncRNA expression levels of colonic biopsy samples (20 CRCs, 20 adenomas (Ad), 20 healthy controls (N)) were analyzed with Human Transcriptome Array (HTA) 2.0. Expression of a subset of candidates was verified by qRT-PCR and in situ hybridization (ISH) analyses. Furthermore, in silico validation was performed on an independent HTA 2.0, on HGU133Plus 2.0 array data and on the TCGA COAD dataset. MiRNA targets of lncRNAs were predicted with miRCODE and lncBase v2 algorithms and miRNA expression was analyzed on miRNA3.0 Array data. MiRNA-mRNA target prediction was performed using miRWALK and c-Met protein levels were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Comprehensive lncRNA-mRNA-miRNA co-expression pattern analysis was also performed. Results Based on our HTA results, a subset of literature-based CRC-associated lncRNAs showed remarkable expression changes already in precancerous colonic lesions. In both Ad vs. normal and CRC vs. normal comparisons 16 lncRNAs, including downregulated LINC02023, MEG8, AC092834.1, and upregulated CCAT1, CASC19 were identified showing differential expression during early carcinogenesis that persisted until CRC formation (FDR-adjusted p < 0.05). The intersection of CRC vs. N and CRC vs. Ad comparisons defines lncRNAs characteristic of malignancy in colonic tumors, where significant downregulation of LINC01752 and overexpression of UCA1 and PCAT1 were found. Two candidates with the greatest increase in expression in the adenoma-carcinoma transition were further confirmed by qRT-PCR (UCA1, CCAT1) and by ISH (UCA1). In line with aberrant expression of certain lncRNAs in tumors, the expression of miRNA and mRNA targets showed systematic alterations. For example, UCA1 upregulation in CRC samples occurred in parallel with hsa-miR-1 downregulation, accompanied by c-Met target mRNA overexpression (p < 0.05). Conclusion The defined lncRNA sets may have a regulatory role in the colorectal adenoma-carcinoma transition. A subset of CRC-associated lncRNAs showed significantly differential expression in precancerous samples, raising the possibility of developing adenoma-specific markers for early detection of colonic lesions.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in numerous cellular processes including brain development. However, the in vivo expression dynamics and molecular pathways regulated by these loci are not well understood. Here, we leveraged a cohort of 13 lncRNA-null mutant mouse models to investigate the spatiotemporal expression of lncRNAs in the developing and adult brain and the transcriptome alterations resulting from the loss of these lncRNA loci. We show that several lncRNAs are differentially expressed both in time and space, with some presenting highly restricted expression in only selected brain regions. We further demonstrate altered regulation of genes for a large variety of cellular pathways and processes upon deletion of the lncRNA loci. Finally, we found that 4 of the 13 lncRNAs significantly affect the expression of several neighboring protein-coding genes in a cis-like manner. By providing insight into the endogenous expression patterns and the transcriptional perturbations caused by deletion of the lncRNA locus in the developing and postnatal mammalian brain, these data provide a resource to facilitate future examination of the specific functional relevance of these genes in neural development, brain function, and disease.
