Preservation of denatured dermis exerts promotive functions in wound healing and improves the appearance and function of skin. Angiogenesis is crucial for wound healing during burn injury. However, the potential molecular mechanism of angiogenesis in the recovery after burn injury remains to be elucidated. Herein, RNA chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) sequencing analysis revealed upregulation of long intergenic non-coding RNA 00174 (linc00174) in the post-burn tissues. linc00174 overexpression promoted angiogenic activities of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in the heat-denatured cell model, characterized by the promotion of cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation. Mechanistically, linc00174 directly bound to enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), thus stimulating the protein level of trimethylation at lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27me3). Moreover, inhibition of EZH2 resulted in downregulation of ZNF24 and Runx1, as well as a decline of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). Furthermore, EZH2 modulated epigenetic repression of ZNF24 and Runx1 through the promoter of H3K27me3. Additionally, ZNF24 and Runx1 both functioned as transcriptional inhibitors of VEGFA. Taken together, these findings uncover that linc00174 epigenetically inhibits ZNF24 and Runx1 expression through binding to EZH2, thus attenuating the suppression of VEGFA, contributing to the facilitation of angiogenesis during the recovery of heat-denatured endothelial cells.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Accumulating evidence reveals the significance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in various cancers. The current study aimed to evaluate the role of GATA6 antisense RNA 1 (GATA6-AS1) in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and lymph node metastasis (LNM) in GC. GC-related microarray datasets were initially retrieved from the GEO with differentially expressed lncRNAs screened, followed by evaluation of the regulatory relationship between Frizzled 4 (FZD4) and GATA6-AS1. The detailed regulatory mechanism by which GATA6-AS1 influences the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway and GC cell biological behaviors was investigated by treating SGC7901 cells with overexpressed GATA6-AS1, specific antisense oligonucleotide against GATA6-AS1, and lithium chloride (LiCli activator of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway). Finally, xenograft nude mice were used to assay tumor growth and LNM in vivo. GATA6-AS1 was poorly expressed, but FZD4 was highly expressed in GC tissues and cells. Elevated GATA6-AS1 reduced FZD4 expression by recruiting enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and trimethylation at lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27me3) to the FZD4 promoter region via the inactivated Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway, whereby cell invasion, migration, and proliferation, tumor growth, and LNM in nude mice were reduced. Taken together, overexpressed GATA6-AS1 down-regulated the expression of FZD4 to inactivate the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway, which ultimately inhibited GC progression.
