Abstract Background Small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1), a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), is a transcript that negatively regulates tumour suppressor genes, such as p53. Abnormal SNHG1 expression is associated with cell proliferation and cancer. We used sequencing data downloaded from Genomic Data Commons to analyse the expression and interaction networks of SNHG1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Expression was examined using the limma package of R and verified by Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis. We also obtained miRNA expression data from StarBase to determine the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA–related RNA regulatory network in HCC. Kaplan–Meier (KM) analysis was performed using the survival package of R. Gene Ontology annotation of genes was carried out using Metascape. Results We found that SNHG1 was overexpressed and often amplified in HCC patients. In addition, SNHG1 upregulation was associated with the promotion of several primary biological functions, including cell proliferation, transcription and protein binding. Moreover, we found similar trends of small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1), E2F8 (E2F transcription factor 8), FANCE (FA complementation group E) and LMNB2 (encodes lamin B2) expression. In the SNHG1-associated network, high expression levels of SNHG1 (log-rank P value = 0.0643), E2F8 (log-rank P value = 0.000048), FANCE (log-rank P value = 0.00125) and LMNB2 (log-rank P value = 0.0392) were significantly associated with poor survival. Single-cell analysis showed that E2F8 may play an important role in tumorigenesis or cancer development. Conclusions Our results highlight the benefit of utilizing multiple datasets to understand the functional potential regulatory networks of SNHG1 and the role of SNHG1 in tumours.

Long noncoding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 6 (SNHG6) has been reported to be a tumor promoter in various human cancers. Nevertheless, the detailed functions and clinical value of SNHG6 in melanoma remain elusive. The study aimed to investigate the role and potential mechanism of SNHG6 in melanoma metastasis. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expressions of SNHG6 and miR-944 in melanoma cells. Cell proliferation was evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and cell migration and invasion were measured by wound healing assay and cell invasion assay, respectively. In addition, dual luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the interaction between SNHG6 and miR-944. The protein expressions of PI3K/Akt pathway were evaluated by western blot assay. The results revealed that SNHG6 expression was significantly increased in melanoma cells. Knockdown of SNHG6 suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion in A375 cells. Moreover, miR-944 was identified as a direct target of SNHG6 in melanoma. miR-944 was downregulated in melanoma cells, while SNHG6 silencing improved miR-944 level in A375 cells. Rescue experiments demonstrated that miR-944 overexpression reversed the effects of SNHG6 on A375 cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Altogether, SNHG6 exerted oncogenic effects in melanoma cells, providing a novel promising target for the treatment of melanoma.

Background/Aims: Cervical cancer, which is one of the most aggressive cancers affecting females, has high rates of recurrence and mortality. Small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) is known to promote the progression of several cancers; however, its exact effects and molecular mechanisms in cervical cancer remain unknown. Methods: Real-time quantitative PCR was used to determine the expression level of SNHG12 in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines. Loss-of-function assays were performed to examine the effect of SNHG12 on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. Luciferase experiments were employed to explore the interactions between SNHG12 and miR-424-5p. Results: SNHG12 was found to be abnormally elevated in human cervical cancer tissues compared with paired adjacent normal tissues. Moreover, high SNHG12 expression in tumor tissues was significantly correlated with vascular involvement, lymph node metastasis, advanced FIGO stage and poor prognosis. Furthermore, the knockdown of SNHG12 was found to inhibit proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells in vitro, and silencing SNHG12 was shown to suppress tumor growth in a nude mouse model. Mechanistic studies showed that SNHG12 functioned as an endogenous sponge for miR-424-5p, thereby downregulating the expression of miR-424-5p in cervical cancer. Furthermore, the inhibition of miR-424-5p in SNHG12-depleted cells partially reversed the effects on cervical cancer cell apoptosis, adhesion and invasion. Conclusion: In summary, our findings suggest that the tumor-promoting role of SNHG12 is to function as a molecular sponge, which negatively regulates miR-424-5p. These findings may provide a potent therapeutic target for cervical cancer.
