    LncRNA SNHG15 regulates hypoxic-ischemic brain injury via miR-153-3p/SETD7 axis

    Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a leading cause of fatality and morbidity in newborns. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene 15 (SNHG15) was elevated in the peripheral blood of patients with acute cerebral ischemia, but its role in HI brain injury remained elusive. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the effect of SNHG15 on HI brain injury and study the precise mechanism of action. In this study, a mouse model of HI brain injury was established through ligating right carotid arteries. The oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model was established in PC12 cells. Results showed that SNHG15 was elevated in brain tissues of mice with HI brain injury, and knockdown of SNHG15 attenuated HI-induced impairment of neurobehavioral function, brain edema, brain injury, and cell apoptosis. Besides, SNHG15 acted as a miR-153-3p sponge. SETD7 was identified to be a target of miR-153-3p. Furthermore, down-regulation of SNHG15 inhibited the OGD-induced increase in SETD7 expression in PC12 cells. Moreover, SNHG15 modulated OGD-induced cell apoptosis and decrease of cell viability through the miR-153- 3p/SETD7 axis. In conclusion, knockdown of SNHG15 alleviated HI brain injury through modulating the miR153-3p/ SETD7 axis. SNHG15 may be a prospective target for HIE therapy

    ZKSCAN5 activates LAPTM5 expression by recruiting SETD7 to promote metastasis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
    (Universidad de Murcia, Departamento de Biologia Celular e Histiologia, 2024) Yang, Yong; Xie, Wei; Qiao, Xuan; Yang, Jun; Yao, Dan; Zhu, Dongming
    Lysosomal-associated transmembrane protein 5 (LAPTM5) has been associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients. Its role in regulating metastasis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), however, remains vague. The study here aimed to expound the metastasis-promoting properties of LAPTM5 in PDAC and the detailed mechanism. LAPTM5 was overexpressed in metastatic PDAC cells and was related to the dismal prognosis of patients in GEO datasets. By using lentiviral vectors harboring short hairpin RNA, we found that LAPTM5 downregulation reduced PDAC cell viability, proliferation, and aggressiveness in vitro and liver metastasis in vivo. Zinc finger with KRAB and SCAN domains 5 (ZKSCAN5) was predicted and verified to mediate LAPTM5 transcription in PDAC cells. Both ZKSCAN5 and SET domains, containing lysine methyltransferase 7 (SETD7) bound to the LAPTM5 promoter, and ZKSCAN5 recruited SETD7 to form a complex promoting LAPTM5 transcription. LAPTM5 knockdown reversed the promoting effect of ZKSCAN5 on the metastasis of PDAC cells. Thus, our findings on the ZKSCAN5/SETD7/LAPTM5 axis provide insights into the underlying mechanism of liver metastasis dissemination in PDAC
