RESUMO
Purpose A substantial amount of evidence demonstrates suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a key role in the progression of various malignancies, cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) included. In our study, we deeply investigated the role and molecular mechanism of lncRNA NPHS2-6 in CSCC. Methods The expression level of gene and protein expression were measured by qRT-PCR and western blot. To test the cell proliferation and cell metastasis ability, we carried out the CCK-8 experiment, clone formation assay, transwell assay and wound healing, respectively. The interactivity among NPHS2-6, miR-1323 and SMC1B were co demonstrated using the bioinformatics tool, dual-luciferase reporter system, and RNA pulldown assay. The subcutaneous tumor model of nude mice was established to verify the results of previous studies at the in vivo. NPHS2-6 was upregulated in CSCC tissues and cells. Results NPHS2-6 deficiency significantly inhibited CSCC cell growth and EMT in vitro. In addition, NPHS2-6 deficiency also inhibited the growth of CSCC xenograft tumors in mice in vivo. Importantly, NPHS2-6 was a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to increases SMC1B levels by binding to miR-1323, leading to activate the PI3K/Akt pathway, thereby exacerbating tumorigenesis of CSCC. Conclusions In conclusion, NPHS2-6/miR-1323/SMC1B/PI3K/Akt signaling accelerates the progression of CSCC, providing a new direction for the treatment strategy of CSCC (AU)

An efficient Ru(II)-catalyzed C-H activation-based spiroannulation of benzoxazines with the easily available benzoquinone and N-sulfonyl quinone monoimine has been realized, providing a straightforward strategy to access NH-containing spiropyrans in moderate to good yields with good functional group compatibility. The procedure features atom- and step-economy, mild conditions, and excellent chemoselectivity. Moreover, a catalytically competent five-membered cycloruthenated complex has been isolated.
