Smooth Muscle Enriched Long Noncoding RNA (SMILR) Regulates Cell Proliferation

BACKGROUND Phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells from a contractile to a synthetic state is implicated in diverse vascular pathologies, including atherogenesis, plaque stabilization, and neointimal hyperplasia. However, very little is known about the role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) during this process. Here, we investigated a role for lncRNAs in vascular smooth muscle cell bi...

Long Noncoding RNA PANDA Positively Regulates Proliferation of Osteosarcoma Cells.

BACKGROUND A long noncoding RNA, p21-associated ncRNA DNA damage-activated (PANDA), associates with nuclear transcription factor Y subunit alpha (NF-YA) and inhibits its binding to promoters of apoptosis-related genes, thereby repressing apoptosis in normal human fibroblasts. Here, we show that PANDA is involved in regulating proliferation in the U2OS human osteosarcoma cell line. MATERIALS A...

A novel long noncoding RNA IRAIN regulates cell proliferation in non small cell lung cancer.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a novel class of RNA molecules defined as transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that lack protein coding potential. LncRNA IRAIN has been verified that it is related to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and breast cancer. However, there was no study to clarify whether it is involved in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we demonstrated IRAIN as a tumor pro...
