Abstract: BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify the potential key long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and target genes associated with pneumonia using lncRNA sequencing (lncRNA-seq). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 9 peripheral blood samples from patients with mild pneumonia (n=3) and severe pneumonia (n=3), as well as volunteers without pneumonia (n=3), were received for lncRNA-seq. Based on the sequencing data, differentially expressed lncRNAs (DE-lncRNAs) were identified by the limma package. After the functional enrichment analysis, target genes of DE-lncRNAs were predicted, and the regulatory network was constructed. RESULTS In total, 99 DE-lncRNAs (14 upregulated and 85 downregulated ones) were identified in the mild pneumonia group and 85 (72 upregulated and 13 downregulated ones) in the severe pneumonia group, compared with the control group. Among these DE-lncRNAs, 9 lncRNAs were upregulated in both the mild and severe pneumonia groups. A set of 868 genes were predicted to be targeted by these 9 DE-lncRNAs. In the network, RP11-248E9.5 and RP11-456D7.1 targeted the majority of genes. RP11-248E9.5 regulated several genes together with CTD-2300H10.2, such as QRFP and EPS8. Both upregulated RP11-456D7.1 and RP11-96C23.9 regulated several genes, such as PDK2. RP11-456D7.1 also positively regulated CCL21. CONCLUSIONS These novel lncRNAs and their target genes may be closely associated with the progression of pneumonia.

Knockdown CRNDE alleviates LPS-induced inflammation injury via FOXM1 in WI-38 cells.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CRNDE overexpression accelerated LPS-induced apoptosis and inflammation via up-regulation of FOXM1 in WI-38 cells.

Global burden of childhood pneumonia and diarrhoea

TL;DR: The epidemiology of childhood diarrhoea and that of pneumonia overlap, which might be partly because of shared risk factors, such as undernutrition, suboptimum breastfeeding, and zinc deficiency, and action is needed globally and at country level to accelerate the reduction.

TL;DR: The evidence linking lncRNAs to diverse human diseases is reviewed and fundamental concepts in lncRNA biology that still need to be clarified are highlighted to provide a robust framework for lnc RNA genetics.

Role of G-protein-coupled adenosine receptors in downregulation of inflammation and protection from tissue damage.

TL;DR: It is suggested that A2a adenosine receptors are a critical part of the physiological negative feedback mechanism for limitation and termination of both tissue-specific and systemic inflammatory responses.

The long non-coding RNA HOTAIR indicates a poor prognosis and promotes metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer
TL;DR: Findings indicate that HOTAIR is significantly up-regulated in NSCLC tissues, and regulatesNSCLC cell invasion and metastasis, partially via the down-regulation of HOXA5.
CCR7 provides localized access to IL-2 and defines homeostatically distinct regulatory T cell subsets
Kate S. Smigiel,Elizabeth Richards,Shivani Srivastava,Shivani Srivastava,Kerri R. Thomas,Jan C. Dudda,Jan C. Dudda,Kimberly D. Klonowski,Daniel J. Campbell,Daniel J. Campbell +9 more
TL;DR: CD44loCD62Lhi regulatory T cells preferentially access IL-2 in T cell zones due to expression of CCR7 and this finding is consistent with previous work on T cell reprograming and “cell reprogramment”.
