Abstract

The competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) hypothesis suggests that a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) can function as sinks for pools of microRNAs (miRNAs); thereby, in the presence of ceRNA, messenger RNAs (mRNAs) targeted by specific miRNAs can liberate and translate to protein. Maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) is a lncRNA, which its expression has been detected in various normal tissues, while it is lost or downregulated in human tumors. The MEG3 is an imprinted gene which, is methylated and suppressed by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) family. Also, miRNAs are involved in the regulation of MEG3 gene expression. Interestingly, the lncRNA MEG3 (lnc-MEG3), as a ceRNA affects various cell processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis by sponging miRNAs. These miRNAs, in turn, regulate different mRNAs in different pathways. This review focuses on the interaction between lnc-MEG3 and experimentally validated miRNAs. In addition, the discussion supplemented by some data obtained from mirPath (v.3) and TarBase (v.8) databanks to provide more details about the pathways affected by this ceRNA.

Angiogenesis Inhibitors to Treat Cancer

Cancer treatments including angiogenesis inhibitors prevent tumor cells from receiving nutrients and oxygen. Here is the latest research on angiogenesis inhibitors for the treatment of cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
