    Abstract: Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) mediates the pathogenesis of various diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular, infectious, and metabolic diseases. This study examined the role of lncRNA NTT in the development and progression of cancer. Methods The expression of NTT was determined using tissues containing complementary DNA (cDNA) from patients with liver, lung, kidney, oral, and colon cancers. The expression of cis- acting genes adjacent to the NTT locus ( CTGF , STX7 , MYB , BCLAF1 , IFNGR1 , TNFAIP3 , and HIVEP2 ) was also assessed. We used knockdown and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays to identify the cis- acting genes that interact with NTT . Results NTT was most significantly downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), while a higher NTT level correlated with a shorter survival time of patients with HCC. Multivariate analysis indicated NTT was not an independent predictor for overall survival. MYB was significantly upregulated, and its increased expression was associated with dismal survival in HCC patients, similar to the results for NTT . NTT knockdown significantly decreased cellular migration. ChIP of HCC cell lines revealed that NTT is regulated by the transcription factor ATF3 and binds to the MYB promoter via the activated complex. Additionally, when NTT was knocked down, the expression of MYB target genes such as Bcl-xL , cyclinD1 , and VEGF was also downregulated. NTT could play a positive or negative regulator for MYB with a context-dependent manner in both HCC tissues and animal model. Conclusion Our study suggests that NTT plays a key role in HCC progression via MYB -regulated target genes and may serve as a novel therapeutic target.

    Abstract: Gender affects cancer susceptibility. Currently, there are only a few studies on Y chromosome-linked long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and the potential association between lncRNAs and cancers in males has not been fully elucidated. Here, we examined the expression of testis-specific transcript Y-linked 15 (TTTY15) in 37 males with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and performed circular chromosome conformation capture with next-generation sequencing to determine the genomic interaction regions of the TTTY15 gene. Our results showed that the expression levels of TTTY15 were lower in NSCLC tissues. Lower TTTY15 expression levels were associated with Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) stage. A TTTY15 knockdown promoted malignant transformation of NSCLC cells. Based on the bioinformatics analysis of circular chromosome conformation capture data, we found that T-box transcription factor 4 (TBX4) may be a potential target gene of TTTY15. The RNA immunoprecipitation and chromatin immunoprecipitation results showed that TTTY15 may interact with DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A), and the TTTY15 knockdown increased the binding of DNMT3A to the TBX4 promoter. We concluded that low TTTY15 expression correlates with worse prognosis among patients with NSCLC. TTTY15 promotes TBX4 expression via DNMT3A-mediated regulation. The identification of lncRNAs encoded by male-specific genes may help to identify potential targets for NSCLC therapy.

    Abstract: In Taiwan, a combination of hepatitis B and C infection, economic boom-related food and alcohol overconsumption, and Chinese medicine prescriptions has led to a high rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the causative factors and underlying tumor biology for this unique HCC environment have not been identified. Wnt and Hippo signaling pathways play an important regulatory role in HCC development, and their functions are generally considered as positive and negative regulators of cell proliferation, respectively. In this study, we characterized the molecular features of HCC using a newly developed classification system based on the expression of the Wnt–Hippo signaling pathway-related genes. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) was performed on liver tumor tissues from 100 patients with liver cancer. RNA-Seq data for 272 previously characterized Wnt–Hippo signaling pathway-related genes were used for hierarchical clustering. We analyzed the data in terms of prognostic value, transcriptome features, immune infiltration, and clinical characteristics, and compared the resulting subclasses with previously published classifications. Four subclasses of HCC (HCCW1–4) were identified. Subclass HCCW1 displayed the highest PCDHB4 expression. Subclass HCCW2 displayed lower Edmondson–Steiner grades (I and II) and CTNNB1 mutation frequencies. Subclass HCCW3 was associated with a good prognosis, the highest PCDHGB7 expression, high CD8+ naïve T cells abundance, and relatively low TP53 mutation rates. Subclass HCCW4 was associated with a poor prognosis, the highest PCDHB2 and PCDHB6 expression, a relatively high abundance of Th1 cells, NKT and class-switched memory B cells, relatively low enrichment of cDC, iDC, and CD4+ memory T cells, and high Edmondson–Steiner grades (III and IV). We also identified Wnt–Hippo signaling pathway-related genes that may influence immune cell infiltration. We developed a panel of 272 Wnt–Hippo signaling pathway-related genes to classify HCC into four groups based on Taiwanese HCC and The Cancer Genome Atlas Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma datasets. This novel molecular classification system may aid the treatment of HCC.

    Abstract: The ALPK1 gene located in the 4q25 region encodes a newly explored protein kinase which could phosphorylate the amino acid of a domain full of α-helices. Recently, several studies have indicated that the expression of ALPK1 is related to inflammation and various diseases; therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to determine whether the expression of ALPK1 has an influence on tumorigenesis and to further scrutinize its gene polymorphism in order to better understand its clinical importance. In lung and colorectal cancer tissues, the ALPK1 RNA level of the normal part was higher than that of the tumor part using the RT-qPCR analysis. Moreover, differences in HRM melting curves could effectively separate the known mutation sites and be used to identify the two novel variants that might cause the bio-dysfunctions of ALPK1 found in silico predictions. Additionally, in both Lovo colorectal and A549 lung cancer cells with enhanced and depleted expression of ALPK1 , the encoded ALPK1 could exert its activity on cell migration without interfering with cell viability. Taken together, these findings suggested that ALPK1 might play a vital role in cancer development and that the newly explored SNPs are found in a Taiwanese cohort.

    Abstract: Cell subpopulations in the blood and joint fluid of patients with gout are poorly understood. Single-cell RNA sequencing and bioinformatic tools were used to identify cell subsets and their gene signatures in blood and synovial fluid (SF) cells, determine their relationships, characterize the diversity, and evaluate interactions among specific cell types. We identified 34 subpopulations (5 types of B cells, 16 types of T and natural killer cells, 9 types of monocytes, and 4 other cell types) in the blood of five healthy subjects and seven patients with acute gouty, and the SF of three patients with acute gout. We found that naïve CD4 T cells and classical monocytes cell populations were enriched in patients with gout, whereas plasmacytoid dendritic cells and intermediate monocytes were more abundant in healthy subjects. SF was enriched in Th1/Th17 cells, effector memory CD8 T cells, mucosal-associated invariant T cells, and macrophages. Subclusters of these cell subpopulations showed different compositions between healthy subjects and those with acute gout, according to blood and SF samples. At the cellular level, the inflammation score of a subpopulation or subcluster was highest in SF, following by the blood of acute gout patients and healthy person, whereas energy score showed the opposite trend. We also detected specific cell–cell interactions for interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and transforming growth factor-β1 expression in the cells of patients with acute gout. Our study reveals cellular and molecular insights on inflammatory responses to hyperuricemia or uric crystal and may provide therapeutic guidance to improve treatments for gout.

    Abstract: This study was designed to characterize the microbiomes of the lung tissues of lung cancer patients. RNA-sequencing was performed on lung tumor samples from 49 patients with lung cancer. Metatranscriptomics data were analyzed using SAMSA2 and Kraken2 software. 16S rRNA sequencing was also performed. The heterogeneous cellular landscape and immune repertoires of the lung samples were examined using xCell and TRUST4, respectively. We found that nine bacteria were significantly enriched in the lung tissues of cancer patients, and associated with reduced overall survival (OS). We also found that subjects with mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor gene were less likely to experience the presence of Pseudomonas. aeruginosa. We found that the presence of CD8+ T-cells, CD4+ naive T-cells, dendritic cells, and CD4+ central memory T cells were associated with a good prognosis, while the presence of pro B-cells was associated with a poor prognosis. Furthermore, high clone numbers were associated with a high ImmuneScore for all immune receptor repertoires. Clone numbers and diversity were significantly higher in unpresented subjects compared to presented subjects. Our results provide insight into the microbiota of human lung cancer, and how its composition is linked to the tumor immune microenvironment, immune receptor repertoires, and OS.

    Abstract: Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas data revealed that alternative splicing (AS) events could serve as prognostic biomarkers in various cancer types. This study examined lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tissues for AS and assessed AS events as potential indicators of prognosis in our cohort. RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were performed. We used SUPPA2 to analyze the AS profiles. Using univariate Cox regression analysis, overall survival (OS)-related AS events were identified. Genes relating to the OS-related AS events were imported into Cytoscape, and the CytoHubba application was run. OS-related splicing factors (SFs) were explored using the log-rank test. The relationship between the percent spliced-in value of the OS-related AS events and SF expression was identified by Spearman correlation analysis. We found 1957 OS-related AS events in 1151 genes, and most were protective factors. Alternative first exon splicing was the most frequent type of splicing event. The hub genes in the gene network of the OS-related AS events were FBXW11, FBXL5, KCTD7, UBB and CDC27. The area under the curve of the MIX prediction model was 0.847 for 5-year survival based on seven OS-related AS events. Overexpression of SFs CELF2 and SRSF5 was associated with better OS. We constructed a correlation network between SFs and OS-related AS events. In conclusion, we identified prognostic predictors using AS events that stratified LUAD patients into high- and low-risk groups. The discovery of the splicing networks in this study provides an insight into the underlying mechanisms.
