Abstract
Background: LINC00652 plays pivotal roles in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) a heterogeneous hematological malignancy. Here, we investigated the potential regulatory mechanisms of LINC00652 in ALL.
Research design and methods: Genome-wide association study data for LINC00652 were obtained for Mendelian randomization and integrated with RNA sequencing data, Bioinformatics analyses, including weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), Spearman or Pearson correlation analysis, function, immune microenvironment, subcellular localization, and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network construction, were employed explore the potential mechanisms of LINC00652 in ALL.
Results: LINC00652 exhibited no significant causal relationship with ALL but was identified as a protective factor (p > 0.05). LINC00652 levels were significantly decreased in patients with ALL, while WGCNA demonstrated the significance of black and blue modules for ALL. Seventy-nine messenger RNA (mRNAs) (SYT7) significantly correlated with LINC00652 (p > 0.05) and were enriched in the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT), interleukin 2-STAT5, apoptosis, and adipogenesis pathways. Twenty-eight immune cells infiltrated the ALL, with immature B-cells and gamma delta T-cells significantly associated with LINC00652 expression (p < 0.05). LINC00652 was predominantly cytoplasmic, and a ceRNA network involving LINC00652, 36 microRNAs, and 18 mRNAs were proposed.
Conclusions: LINC00652 May protect against ALL and influence its pathogenesis through ceRNA mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
Advanced molecular research techniques have transformed hematology in recent years. With improved understanding of hematologic diseases, we now have the opportunity to research and evaluate new biological therapies, new drugs and drug combinations, new treatment schedules and novel approaches including stem cell transplantation. We can also expect proteomics, molecular genetics and biomarker research to facilitate new diagnostic approaches and the identification of appropriate therapies. Further advances in our knowledge regarding the formation and function of blood cells and blood-forming tissues should ensue, and it will be a major challenge for hematologists to adopt these new paradigms and develop integrated strategies to define the best possible patient care. Expert Review of Hematology (1747-4086) puts these advances in context and explores how they will translate directly into clinical practice.
