Abstract

Insights

Long non-coding RNA LINC01198 promotes glioma cell growth and temozolomide resistance by interacting with NEDD4-1 and PTEN. This suggests LINC01198 is a potential therapeutic target for glioma.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Dysregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is implicated in glioma pathogenesis.
  • The specific roles and mechanisms of most lncRNAs in glioma remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role and molecular mechanisms of LINC01198 in glioma proliferation and chemoresistance.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) to measure LINC01198 expression.
  • In vitro experiments to assess functional roles.
  • CCK-8 assay, RNA pulldown, RNA immunoprecipitation, and western blotting to elucidate mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • LINC01198 expression is elevated in glioma, correlating with poorer prognosis.
  • LINC01198 knockdown inhibits glioma cell proliferation and temozolomide resistance; overexpression promotes them.
  • LINC01198 acts as a scaffold for NEDD4-1 (neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally downregulated 4, E3 ubiquitin protein ligase) and PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog), enhancing NEDD4-1-dependent repression of PTEN.

Conclusions:

  • Oncogenic LINC01198 plays a significant role in glioma proliferation and temozolomide resistance.
  • LINC01198 represents a promising therapeutic target for glioma treatment.

A Rapid Screening Workflow to Identify Potential Combination Therapy for GBM using Patient-Derived Glioma Stem Cells

The glioma stem cells (GSCs) are a small fraction of cancer cells which play essential roles in tumor initiation, angiogenesis, and drug resistance in glioblastoma (GBM), the most prevalent and devastating primary brain tumor. The presence of GSCs makes the GBM very refractory to most of individual targeted agents, so high-throughput screening methods are required to identify potential effective combination therapeutics. The protocol describes a simple workflow to enable rapid screening for...

Repressed Memory01:16

Repressed Memory

Repressed memories are a psychological phenomenon where memories of traumatic events are unconsciously blocked from a person's awareness. This process occurs as a defense mechanism, protecting the mind from the emotional impact of distressing or painful experiences. For example, a person who has experienced childhood trauma may grow up with no conscious recollection of the event. In such cases, the memories are thought to be buried deep within the subconscious, inaccessible to the conscious...
