| Glial-derived gliomas account for the vast maj ority of malignant brain tumors.In the past 30 years,the incidence of glioma has increased at a rate of 1%-2%per year,with a high degree of malignancy and poor prognosis.Even with the most powerful comprehensive treatment the 5-year survival rate is only 0.1%-8.9%.Therefore,new more effective treatments have become the focus of glioma research.The occurrence and progression of glioma is a complex process involving multiple factors,and uncontrolled proliferation caused by uncontrolled cell cycle is one of the key process.Cell cycle play a key role in tumorgenesis,and cycle-dependent kinases(CDKs)are the core of cell cycle control system.CDK2 is an important member of the CDK family.It plays an important role in various aspects of cell cycle regulation,such as centrosome replication,DNA synthesis,G1-S transition and G2 phase progression.CDK2 is not only a rate-limiting enzyme that regulates cell cycle progression and apoptosis,but also a downstream regulator of many oncogenes/tumor suppressor genes.Therefore,the uncontrolled cell cycle progression caused by abnormal expression of CDK2 may play an important role in the development of glioma.Non-coding RNA plays an important role in the process of life.Its function can be extended to almost all biological processes,such as embryonic development,cell proliferation,differentiation,apoptosis,gene imprinting,stress response and canceration.Its characteristics include:(1).With high specificity,ncRNAs has characteristic expression in different tissue regions and disease processes.This feature suggests that glioma-specifi abnormal expression of ncRNAs may be closely related to dysregulation of CDK2 activity.(2)The regulatory relationship is complex.Each ncRNA corresponds to multiple target genes,and each target gene can also be regulated by multiple ncRNAs.(3)Regulatory mechanisms are diverse,ncRNAs affect on target genes at chromatin remodeling,DNA sequence,transcription and post-transcriptional levels.This makes the regulatory network of gene expression mediated by ncRNA extremely complex,and many problems are still unclear.MicroRNAs are a class of ncRNAs with a length of about 22 nt.They directly degrade or block the translation of the target gene by binding to the 3’UTR region of the target gene,and inhibit the expression of the gene at the post-transcriptional level.However,the regulatory capacity of microRNAs is still relatively limited,and only about 40%of all proteins are regulated by microRNAs.Another type of ncRNA is long non-coding RNA(LncRNA)whose transcript length exceeds 200 nt.With the development of molecular genetics and epigenetics,the role of long non-coding RNA in brain-related diseases has attracted more and more attention:its functions are extensive and complex,involving almost all biological processes such as embryonic development,gene imprinting,inflammation stress,tumors and so on.It has more characteristic expression patterns in tumors and many other diseases.Because of the diverse regulatory mechanisms of lncRNA,it can act on different target genes at multiple levels,which makes the regulatory network of gene expression mediated by IncRNA extremely complex.Current studies have found that microRNAs and LncRNAs are not isolated in gene expression regulation,but closely related.The interaction between them has attracted much attention.Especially the hypothesis of Competitive Endgenous RNA(CeRNA)provides a new way to elucidate the regulatory relationship between micro RNA and LncRNA.In 2011,Pandolfi first proposed in Cell:ceRNA molecules(mRNA,LncRNA,pseudogenes,etc.)exist widely in cells,which can competively bind to the same microRNA through microRNA response elements(MRE)to regulate the expression level of each other;for example,LncRNA can competively bind to one or more microRNAs as ceRNA molecules,thus rEdUcing the expression level of each other.Low microRNAs inhibit downstream target genes and promote"reactivation" of target gene expression.The CeRNA hypothesis represents a new model of gene expression regulation.It integrates a variety of ncRNA(such as microRNA,LncRNA)and RNA into a regulatory network.Compared with the microRNA regulatory network,ceRNA involves more RNA molecules,the regulatory network is larger,the regulatory mechanism is more elaborate and complex,and it can excavate gene functions and interconnections from a deeper level.However,the current research on ncRNA regulating CDK2 is limited to a few independent microRNAs,and the related research on LncRNA or CeRNA has not been reported.In order to find a ceRNA network targeting CDK2,this experiment mainly focus on the specific mechanism of
