Abstract Background: Glioblastoma remains a highly invasive primary brain malignancy with an undesirable prognosis. Growing evidence has shed light on the importance of microRNAs (miRs), as small non-coding RNAs, in tumor development and progression. The present study leverages the in-silico and in-vitro techniques to investigate the significance of hsa-miR-181a-5p and the underlying hsa-miR-181a-5p-meidated signaling pathway in glioblastoma development. Methods: Bioinformatic studies were performed on GSE158284, GSE108474 (REMBRANDT study), TCGA-GTEx, CCLE, GeneMANIA, Reactome, WikiPathways, KEGG, miRDB, and microT-CDS to identify the significance of hsa-miR-181a-5p and its underlying target. Afterward, the U373 cell line was selected and transfected with… More >

Abstract Expression of miR-181a-5p associates with the proliferation and progression of cancer cells via its targets. This study was designed to investigate the effect of miR-181a-5p and its target inositol polyphosphate-5- phosphatase A (INPP5A) on the progression of cervical cancers. Upregulation of miR-181a-5p was revealed in the cervical cancer cell lines HeLa and SiHa in comparison with a normal cervical epithelium cell line End1/ E6E7 (p<0.001). The inhibition and upregulation of miR-181a-5p in cervical cancer cell lines significantly reduced or increased cell proliferation and invasion capacity, accompanied with enhanced or reduced apoptosis (p<0.05). Moreover, INPP5A overexpression significantly More >

Abstract Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in various biological processes and pathological conditions, including tumorigenesis. However, the exact roles of NEAT1 and its underlying mechanisms in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain largely unclear. In the present study, lncRNA NEAT1 was detected to be significantly upregulated in NSCLC tissues and closely associated with advanced TNM stages, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and poor prognosis. Further experiments revealed that lncRNA NEAT1 silencing inhibited cell proliferation and invasion in vitro. In addition, mechanistic analysis showed that lncRNA NEAT1 upregulated the miR-181a-5p-targeted gene HMGB2 through acting as More >
