Abstract:
Emerging evidence has indicated that long non-coding RNA plays an important role in carcinogenesis at the transcriptional and post-translational levels. The regulation of carcinogenesis-related effectors is potent in the determination of tumor initiation and progression. In the current study, FOXD2-AS1 was found to interact with microRNA (miR)-185-5p to modulate proliferation, migration, and invasion of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. Interestingly, expression of cell division control 42 was significantly influenced by FOXD2-AS1 and miR-185-5p. In CRC patients, the expression level of FOXD2-AS1 in CRC tissue was closely associated with miR-185-5p and cell division control 42, and implicated in the overall survival rate. Therefore, our study suggests that long non-coding RNA FOXD2-AS1 plays a positive role in CRC and could be developed and used as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and therapy of CRC. This will greatly improve the prevention and treatment of the third most common cancer worldwide.

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...
