The brain in Alzheimer's disease (AD) shows a chronic inflammatory response characterized by activated glial cells and increased expression of cytokines complement factors surrounding amyloid deposits. Several epidemiological studies have demonstrated reduced risk for AD patients using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), prompting further inquiries about how NSAIDs might influence the development pathology inflammation CNS. We tested impact orally administered ibuprofen, most...
N 6 ‐Methyladenosine (m A) modification has been implicated in many biological processes. However, its role cancer not well studied. Here, we demonstrate that m A modifications are decreased hepatocellular carcinoma, especially metastatic and methyltransferase‐like 14 (METTL14) is the main factor involved aberrant modification. Moreover, METTL14 down‐regulation acts as an adverse prognosis for recurrence‐free survival of carcinoma significantly associated with tumor metastasis vitro vivo ....

Herein we examined expression profiles long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) found mice. lncRNAs were identified; one these, lncRNA-mPvt1, is an RNA that was to promote cell proliferation, cycling, stem cell-like properties cells. Interestingly,...
Survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains poor, which is largely attributed to active angiogenesis. However, the mechanisms underlying angiogenesis in HCC remain be discovered. In this study, we found that long noncoding RNA associated microvascular invasion (lncRNA MVIH) HCC) was generally overexpressed HCC. a cohort 215 patients, overexpression MVIH frequent (P = 0.016) and higher tumor node metastasis stage 0.009) as well decreased recurrence-free survival (RFS) <...
Tumor cells with stemness (stem-cell) features contribute to initiation and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but involvement long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) remains largely unclear. Genome-wide analyses were applied identify tumor-associated lncRNA-DANCR. DANCR expression level prognostic values assayed in two HCC cohorts (China Korea, n = 135 223). Artificial modulation (down- overexpression) was done explore the role tumorigenesis colonization, tumor-bearing mice used determine...
Although numerous long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified in mammals, many of their biological roles remain to be characterized. Early reports suggest that H19 contributes carcinogenesis, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Examination the Oncomine resource showed most HCC cases express at a level is comparable with liver, tendency toward lower expression. This consistent our previous microarray data and indicates more complicated role needs In this study, expression was...
With the development of RNA-seq technology, tens thousands circular RNAs (circRNAs), a novel class RNAs, have been identified. However, little is known about circRNA formation and biogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).We performed ribosomal-depleted profiling HCC para-carcinoma tissues analyzed expression hotspot derived from 3'UTR stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) gene, termed SCD-circRNA 2.It was significantly upregulated correlated with poor patient prognosis. Moreover, we observed...
In recent years, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been investigated as a new class of regulators biological function. A study reported that lncRNAs control cell proliferation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the role liver regeneration and overall mechanisms remain largely unknown. To address this issue, we carried out genome-wide lncRNA microarray analysis during mice after 2/3 partial hepatectomy (PH) at various timepoints. The results revealed differential expression subset...
Abstract As an important epigenetic mechanism, histone acetylation modulates the transcription of many genes and plays roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Aberrations have been observed HCC, but factors that contribute to aberrations not fully elucidated. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which are noncoding RNAs regulate gene expression, involved mechanisms. In this study, we determined miR-200a level H3 at its promoter were reduced human HCC tissues comparison with adjacent noncancerous hepatic...
miR-17-5p is overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the specific regulatory mechanisms of HCC remain unknown. We investigated molecular basis as an oncogene human cell lines.
