          Abstract

          Background

          Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), with distinct geographical distribution, has gathered public attention. Despite that radiotherapy and chemotherapy are applied to treat NPC, cell metastasis still cannot be avoided. Numerous works have elucidated that lncRNAs are essential players in the development of multiple cancers. LncRNA SNHG7 has been reported as a contributing factor in the occurrence of certain cancers, but its mechanism in NPC deserves further investigation. The purpose of the study is to figure out the role and molecular regulation mechanism of SNHG7 in NPC.

          Methods

          The role of SNHG7 in NPC was verified by CCK-8, colony formation, EdU staining, western blot and capase-3 assays. The interactions between SNHG7/ELAVL1 and miR-514a-5p were confirmed by RNA pull down, RT-qPCR, RIP and luciferase reporter assays.

          Results

          SNHG7 was upregulated in NPC cells, and absence of SNHG7 suppressed cell proliferation as well as promoted cell apoptosis in NPC. Furthermore, SNHG7 was confirmed to bind with miR-514a-5p and negatively modulate miR-514a-5p expression. Besides, miR-514a-5p was found to be able to bind with ELAVL1 and negatively regulate ELAVL1 mRNA and protein expressions. In the end, rescue assays demonstrated that the miR-514a-5p deficiency restored the NPC progression inhibited by SNHG7 silence, and ELAVL1 partly counteracted the restoration caused by miR-514a-5p inhibitor in HNE1 cells.

          Conclusions

          LncRNA SNHG7 promotes the proliferation and migration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma by miR-514a-5p/ ELAVL1 axis.

          Phase III study of concurrent chemoradiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma: positive effect on overall and progression-free survival.

          Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a radiosensitive and chemosensitive tumor. This randomized phase III trial compared concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) versus radiotherapy (RT) alone in patients with advanced NPC. From December 1993 to April 1999, 284 patients with 1992 American Joint Committee on Cancer stage III to IV (M0) NPC were randomly allocated into two arms. Similar dosage and fractionation of RT was administered in both arms. The investigational arm received two cycles of concurrent chemotherapy with cisplatin 20 mg/m(2)/d plus fluorouracil 400 mg/m(2)/d by 96-hour continuous infusion during the weeks 1 and 5 of RT. Survival analysis was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. Baseline patient characteristics were comparable in both arms. After a median follow-up of 65 months, 26.2% (37 of 141) and 46.2% (66 of 143) of patients developed tumor relapse in the CCRT and RT-alone groups, respectively. The 5-year overall survival rates were 72.3% for the CCRT arm and 54.2% for the RT-only arm (P =.0022). The 5-year progression-free survival rates were 71.6% for the CCRT group compared with 53.0% for the RT-only group (P =.0012). Although significantly more toxicity was noted in the CCRT arm, including leukopenia and emesis, compliance with the combined treatment was good. The second cycle of concurrent chemotherapy was refused by nine patients and was delayed for > or = 1 week for another nine patients. There were no treatment-related deaths in either arm. We conclude that CCRT is superior to RT alone for patients with advanced NPC in endemic areas.

            The four dimensions of noncoding RNA conservation.

            Evolutionary conservation is widely used as an indicator of the functional significance of newly discovered genes. Although the simple search for homology at the nucleotide or amino acid sequence level has proven to be valuable for protein-coding genes, these criteria are too narrow to describe fully the selection process for long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). LncRNA conservation includes four dimensions: the sequence, structure, function, and expression from syntenic loci. Two recently described knockout mouse models for the lincRNAs metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (Malat1) and HOX antisense intergenic RNA (Hotair) highlight the multifaceted levels of conservation.

              Long noncoding RNA MALAT1 regulates renal tubular epithelial pyroptosis by modulated miR-23c targeting of ELAVL1 in diabetic nephropathy.

              Diabetic nephropathy is a common kidney condition in patients with diabetes mellitus, which can result in renal failure. Pyroptosis, the process of pro-inflammatory programmed cell death, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Long non-coding RNA MALAT1 has also been shown to be involved in diabetic nephropathy. Here, we investigated the role of MALAT1 and the microRNA miR-23c and its target gene ELAVL1 in renal tubular epithelial cells. Our data demonstrated that MALAT1 expression was substantially increased but miR-23c was decreased in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and in high-glucose-treated HK-2 cells. Downregulation of MALAT1 or upregulation the expression of miR-23c inhibited pyroptosis in HK-2 cells. In an effort to understand the signaling mechanisms underlying the pro-pyroptotic properties of MALAT1 and the anti-pyroptotic properties of miR-23c, we found that inhibiting the expression of MALAT1 downregulated the expression of ELAVL1, NLRP3, Caspase-1 and the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. These findings were replicated by upregulation of miR-23c. Moreover, luciferase assays showed that miR-23c, as a target of MALAT1, directly repressed ELAVL1 expression and then decreased the expression of its downstream protein NLRP3. The expression of MALAT1 antagonized the effect of miR-23c on the downregulation of its target ELAVL1 and inhibited hyperglycemia-induced cell pyroptosis. This mechanism may contribute to a better understanding of diabetic nephropathy pathogenesis and facilitate the development of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of this disease.
