Altogether, this method provides a platform for multimerization of aptamers with advantages in terms of combinatorial screening capacity and multifunctional design of nanomedicine.Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a predominant type of lung cancer in never-smoker patients. In this study, we identified a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) LINC00857 that might regulate radio-sensitivity of LUAD cells. Expression of LINC00857 and baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5 (BIRC5) was determined to be upregulated in LUAD cells and tissues using qRT-PCR and western blot analysis. The correlation between LINC00857 and nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 (NF-κB1) was verified using RNA immunoprecipitation and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, while the binding relationship between NF-κB1 and BIRC5 was determined by dual-luciferase reporter assay. It was suggested that LINC00857 could recruit NF-κB1 in BIRC5 promoter region. BIRC5 promoter activity was repressed in response to small interfering-LINC00857 (si-LINC00857) in LUAD cells. Silencing LINC00857 or BIRC5 reduced proliferation and colony formation but enhanced apoptosis and radio-sensitivity of LUAD cells. The experiment in vivo verified the function of silencing LINC00857 on enhancing radio-sensitivity of LUAD cells. Our results reveal a functional regulatory LINC00857-NF-κB1-BIRC5 triplet in LUAD cells, suggesting LINC00857 as a potential target for LUAD treatment.Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a common heart valve disease in aging populations, and aberrant osteogenic differentiation of valvular interstitial cells (VICs) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of ectopic ossification of the aortic valve. miR-214 has been validated to be involved in the osteogenesis process. Here, we aim to investigate the role and mechanism of miR-214 in CAVD progression. miR-214 expression was significantly downregulated in CAVD aortic valve leaflets, accompanied by upregulation of osteogenic markers. Overexpression of miR-214 suppressed osteogenic differentiation of VICs, while silencing the expression of miR-214 promoted this function. miR-214 directly targeted ATF4 and Sp7 to modulate osteoblastic differentiation of VICs, which was proved by dual luciferase reporter assay and rescue experiment. miR-214 knockout rats exhibited higher mean transvalvular velocity and gradient. The expression of osteogenic markers in aortic valve leaflets of miR-214 knockout rats was upregulated compared to that of the wild-type group. Taken together, our study showed that miR-214 inhibited aortic valve calcification via regulating osteogenic differentiation of VICs by directly targeting ATF4 and Sp7, indicating that miR-214 may act as a profound candidate of targeting therapy for CAVD.Uncontrolled growth and an enforced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process contribute to the poor survival rate of patients with osteosarcoma (OS). Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to be involved in the development of OS. However, the significant role of lncRNA SNHG1O on regulating proliferation and the EMT process of OS cells remains unclear. In this study, quantitative real-time PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results suggested that SNHG10 levels were significantly increased in OS compared with healthy tissues. In vitro experiments (including colony formation, CCK-8, wound healing, and transwell assays) and in vivo experiments indicated that downregulation of SNHG10 significantly suppressed the proliferation and invasion of OS cells. Luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay confirmed that SNHG10 could regulate FZD3 levels through sponging microRNA 182-5p (miR-182-5p). In addition, the SNHG10/miR-182-5p/FZD3 axis could further promote the β-catenin transfer into nuclear accumulation to maintain the activation of the Wnt singling pathway. Together, our results established that SNHG10 has an important role in promoting OS growth and invasion. By sponging miR-182-5p, SNHG10 can increase FZD3 expression and further maintain the activation of Wnt/β-catenin singling pathway in OS cells.The signature composed of immune-related long noncoding ribonucleic acids (irlncRNAs) with no requirement of specific expression level seems to be valuable in predicting the survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we retrieved raw transcriptome data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), identified irlncRNAs by co-expression analysis, and recognized differently expressed irlncRNA (DEirlncRNA) pairs using univariate analysis.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Sunitinib-Malate-(Sutent).html  In addition, we modified Lasso penalized regression. Then, we compared the areas under curve, counted the Akaike information criterion (AIC) values of 5-year receiver operating characteristic curve, and identified the cut-off point to set up an optimal model for distinguishing the high- or low-disease-risk groups among patients with HCC. We then reevaluated them from the viewpoints of survival, clinic-pathological characteristics, tumor-infiltrating immune cells, chemotherapeutics efficacy, and immunosuppressed biomarkers. 36 DEirlncRNA pairs were identified, 12 of which were included in a Cox regression model. After regrouping the patients by the cut-off point, we could more effectively differentiate between them based on unfavorable survival outcome, aggressive clinic-pathological characteristics, specific tumor immune infiltration status, low chemotherapeutics sensitivity, and highly expressed immunosuppressed biomarkers. The signature established by paring irlncRNA regardless of expression levels showed a promising clinical prediction value.Dysregulated mucosal immunity plays an essential role in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a Ca2+-permeable ion channel that is implicated in modulating immune responses. However, its role in the pathogenesis of intestinal inflammation remains elusive. Here, we found that TRPV1 gain of function significantly increased the susceptibility of mice to experimental colitis, and that was associated with excessive recruitment of dendritic cells and enhanced Th17 immune responses in the lamina propria of colon. TRPV1 gain of function promoted dendritic cell activation and cytokine production upon inflammatory stimuli, and consequently enhanced dendritic cell-mediated Th17 cell differentiation. Further mechanistic studies showed that TRPV1 gain of function in dendritic cells enhanced activation of calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFATc2) signaling induced by inflammatory stimuli. Moreover, in patients with IBD, TRPV1 expression was increased in lamina propria cells of inflamed colon compared with healthy controls.
