    Abstract Previous studies have shown that circular RNAs are directly or indirectly involved in the occurrence of various diseases by regulating gene expression. However, the acting mechanism of circular RNAs in endometritis remains unclear. In this study, we successfully established an endometritis model in mouse using Escherichia coli

    endometrial integrity was destroyed, inflammatory cells infiltrated and the expression of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α was significantly up-regulated. We analyzed and screened the circular RNA expression profiles between healthy and endometritis-stricken mice by the Illumina HiSeq platform, and used qRT-PCR method to verify the different expressions of circular RNAs. Gene ontology (GO) analysis showed that circular RNAs were mainly involved in biological processes such as the positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase POL II promoter and the negative regulation of cell proliferation. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis of circular RNAs target genes may be involved in the TGF-β signaling pathway. We verified the expression of TGF-β and its related factors; the mRNA of TGF-β1 and smad7 were significantly up-regulated in endometritis mouse ( p < 0.01) and the protein expression level of p-smad3 was significantly decreased ( p < 0.01). Finally, we constructed a circular RNAs–miRNA network to elucidate the potential regulatory relationship between two small molecules. This research may provide new ideas for circular RNAs in the treatment of endometritis.

    Abstract Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been verified to participate in the tumorigenesis of multiple cancers. Nevertheless, the deepgoing role molecular mechanisms of lncRNAs on osteosarcoma chemoresistance remain unclear. In present study, we investigate the function of lncRNA LUCAT1 on osteosarcoma methotrexate (MTX) resistant phenotype and discover the potential regulatory mechanism. Results showed that LUCAT1 was up-regulated in MTX-resistant cells (MG63/MTX, HOS/MTX) compared to that in parental cells. LncRNA LUCAT1 and ABCB1 protein expression levels were both up-regulated when induced by different concentration of methotrexate. In vitro and vivo, LUCAT1 knockdown decreased the expression levels drug resistance related genes (MDR1, MRP5, LRP1), proliferation, invasion and tumor growth of osteosarcoma cells. Bioinformatics tools and luciferase assay reveled that miR-200c both targeted the 3′-UTR of LUCAT1 and ABCB1 mRNA, suggesting the modulation of LUCAT1 on ABCB1 through sponging miR-200c. Rescue experiments confirmed the combined role of LUCAT1, miR-200c and ABCB1 on osteosarcoma proliferation, invasion and methotrexate resistance. Overall, results indicate the vital role of LUCAT1 in the methotrexate resistance regulation through miR-200c/ABCB1 pathway, providing a novel insight and treatment strategy for osteosarcoma drug resistance.

    Abstract Osteopontin (OPN), expressed by various immune cells, plays a critical role in leukocyte migration. Although OPN was found to selectively induce the expression of proinflammatory chemokines, the molecular mechanisms that control OPN gene expression and its underlying mechanism for migration and recruitment of inflammatory cells remain largely unknown. In this study, real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to determine OPN and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) expression. Signaling and molecular events between OPN and MCP-1 were analyzed by Western blot. Leukocyte migration in the presence of OPN was measured by chemotaxis assay. Our data indicated that phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) that are activated upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide were shown to upregulate OPN expression. Endogenous production of OPN was attributable to increased production of MCP-1, and this effect could be blocked by an anti-β1 integrin antibody and JNK and p38 kinase inhibitors. Furthermore, we found that the effect of OPN on inflammatory cell migration was mediated through inducing the expression of MCP-1 in monocytes. These results support a role of OPN in monocyte migration via MCP-1, which may represent an additional mechanism for innate and adaptive immune responses.
