Accordingly, silencing of COL4A5 and LAMC1, respectively, differentially affected tight junction formation and barrier integrity in both donor and IPAH PAEC. Collectively, our results highlight the importance for a well-maintained BM homeostasis. By linking changes in BM structure and composition to altered endothelial cell function, we here suggest an active involvement of the BM in IPAH pathogenesis.Background Mortal obligate RNA transcript (MORT), a long noncoding RNA, has been reported as a potential tumor suppressor in many types of cancer. The functions of MORT involved in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) were investigated in this study. Materials and Methods A total of 67 patients with LUAD (adenocarcinoma) were recruited in this study. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to assess gene expression. Cell transfections were used to analyze gene interactions. Transwell migration and invasion assay were carried out to analyze cell migration and invasion. Results MORT was downregulated, whereas miRNA-223 was upregulated in LUAD. Expression of MORT was significantly affected by tumor metastasis but not by the size of tumors. Expression of miRNA-223 and MORT was inversely correlated in LUAD tissue samples. LUAD cells overexpressing MORT showed downregulated miRNA-223, whereas the expression of MORT was not significantly affected by overexpression of miRNA-223. Besides, overexpression of MORT inhibited, whereas overexpression of miRNA-223 promoted the invasion and migration of LUAD cells. Overexpression of miRNA-223 inhibited the effects of overexpressing MORT on cell invasion and migration. Conclusions Therefore, MORT may inhibit cancer cell invasion and migration in LUAD by downregulating miRNA-223.PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility of brigade-style, multiphasic cancer screening in Honduras, explo
