Long Non Coding Rna

Oral submucosal fibrosis (OSF) is a precancerous condition in the oral cavity and areca nut consumption has been regarded as one of the etiologic factors implicated in the development of OSF via persistent activation of buccal mucosal fibroblasts (BMFs). It has been previously reported that an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) factor, ZEB1, mediated the areca nut-associated myofibroblast transdifferentiation. In the current study, we aimed to elucidate how areca nut affected non-coding RNAs and the subsequent myofibroblast activation via ZEB1. We found that long non-coding RNA LINC00084 was elicited in the BMFs treated with arecoline, a major alkaloid of areca nut, and silencing LINC00084 prevented the arecoline-induced activities (such as collagen gel contraction, migration, and wound healing capacities). The upregulation of LINC00084 was also observed in the OSF tissues and fibrotic BMFs (fBMFs), and positively correlated with several fibrosis factors. Moreover, we showed knockdown of LINC00084 markedly suppressed the myofibroblast features in fBMFs, including myofibroblast phenotypes and marker expression. The results from the luciferase reporter assay confirmed that LINC00084 acted as a sponge of miR-204 and miR-204 inhibited ZEB1 by directly interacting with it. Altogether, these findings suggested that the constant irritation of arecoline may result in upregulation of LINC00084 in BMFs, which increased the ZEB1 expression by sequestering miR-204 to induce myofibroblast transdifferentiation.

Long Non Coding Rna

As a highly heterogeneous malignancy, breast cancer (BC) has become the most significant threat to female health. Distant metastasis and therapy resistance of BC are responsible for most of the cases of mortality and recurrence. Distant metastasis relies on an array of processes, such as cell proliferation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET), and angiogenesis. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) refers to a class of non-coding RNA with a length of over 200 nucleotides. Currently, a rising number of studies have managed to investigate the association between BC and lncRNA. In this study, we summarized how lncRNA has dual effects in BC metastasis by regulating invasion, migration, and distant metastasis of BC cells. We also emphasize that lncRNA has crucial regulatory effects in the stemness and angiogenesis of BC. Clinically, some lncRNAs can regulate chemotherapy sensitivity in BC patients and may function as novel biomarkers to diagnose or predict prognosis for BC patients. The exact impact on clinical relevance deserves further study. This review can be an approach to understanding the dual effects of lncRNAs in BC, thereby linking lncRNAs to quasi-personalized treatment in the future.
