Abstract Background: In human lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tissues, Long noncoding RNA LINC01279 is significantly upregulated. However, the functions of LINC01279 in LUAD is yet to be clarified.Methods: In situ hybridization was employed to investigate the difference between expression of LINC01279 in LUAD and in normal tissues. The result of in situ hybridization is verified by qRT-PCR. Cytoplasmic and nuclear experiments showed that LINC01279 was mainly located in the cytoplasm of lung cancer cells. The loss of function experiment showed that LINC01279 could inhibit the proliferation, colony formation, invasion and migration of lung cancer cells. The interaction between SIN3A and LINC01279 was confirmed by RIP test. At the same time, through western bolt, we found that LINC01279 plays a key role in the regulation of apoptosis and autophagy in lung adenocarcinoma.Results: Our study confirmed that LINC01279 was upregulated in LUAD tissues, the knocking-down of which significantly inhibited the growth of LUAD cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic investigations revealed that LINC01279 could directly interact with SIN3A and modulate the FAK and ERK protein expression in the cytoplasm. Moreover, the proteins of PARP and LC3B, P62, Beclin-1, respectively related with apoptosis and autophagy, were changed after LINC01279 siRNA. Conclusions: Taken together, our research found that LINC01279 which is significantly up-regulated in LUAD tissues and cell lines, and promotes the changes of FAK and ERK proteins in downstream pathways by combining with SIN3A, promotes the proliferation of LUAD cells, and inhibits apoptosis and autophagy. The results of this work illustrated how LINC01279 is part of a regulatory network that contributes to the oncogenesis of LUAD and proposed LINC01279 could be a potential target for LUAD diagnosis and treatment.

Wall morphogenesis in higher plants is a problem still open to controversy. Until now the possibility of a transmembrane control and the involvement of microtubules were mostly envisaged. Self-assembly processes have been observed in the case of walls of Chlamydomonas and bacteria. Spontaneous gelling interactions between xanthan and galactomannan from Ceratonia have been analyzed very recently. The present work provides indications that some processes of spontaneous aggregation could occur in higher plants during the formation and expansion of cell wall.Observations were performed on hypocotyl of mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) for which growth characteristics and wall composition have been previously defined.In situ, the walls of actively growing cells (primary walls) show an ordered three-dimensional organization (fig. 1). The wall is typically polylamellate with multifibrillar layers alternately transverse and longitudinal. Between these layers intermediate strata exist in which the orientation of microfibrils progressively rotates. Thus a progressive change in the morphogenetic activity occurs.

: Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid octanoylated peptide hormone that is implicated in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. Specific visualization of ghrelin and its cognate receptor using traceable ligands is crucial in elucidating the localization, functions, and expression pattern of the peptide’s signaling pathway. Here 12 representative radio- and fluorescently-labeled peptide-based ligands are reviewed for in vitro and in vivo imaging studies. In particular, the focus is on their structural features, pharmacological properties, and applications in further biochemical research.
