Objective To investigate the role and regulatory mechanism of LINC00657 in the progression of cervical cancer. Methods Bioinformatics analysis predicted potential binding sites between LINC00657 and miR-30a-5p and between miR-30a-5p and Skp2. These sites were verified by using RNA immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter experiments. LINC00657, miR-30a-5p, and Skp2 mRNA expression levels in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines were assessed by utilizing RT-qPCR. Western blot analysis was employed to examine the protein levels of Skp2 in cells and subcutaneous xenograft tumor models in nude mice. Immunohistochemistry was applied to analyze Skp2 expression in animal tissues. The cellular processes of cervical cancer cell lines were evaluated through CCK-8, scratch, and Transwell assays. Results LINC00657 and Skp2 presented binding sites for miR-30a-5p. In cervical cancer, LINC00657 and Skp2 showed high expression levels (P<0.05), whereas miR-30a-5p displayed low expression (P<0.05). Functional experiments demonstrated that linc00657 upregulates Skp2 expression, a process that is dependent on its sequestration of miR-30a-5p. Conclusion LINC00657 promoted the malignant progression of cervical cancer by upregulating Skp2 expression through specifically sequestering miR-30a-5p, thereby relieving its inhibitory effect on the target gene Skp2.

Objective This study aims to explore the impact of demographic characteristics, sexual behavioral , and epidemiological history on mpox infection among the MSM in Chengdu, providing a theoretical basis for prevention and control of mpox. Methods A case-control study was conducted, including mpox patients in Chengdu from June 2023 March 2024 as the study group and MSM without mpox as controls, we carried out a retrospective investigation. Basic information, sexual history and behavior, and travel history were obtained for both mpox patients and controls. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to explore the risk factors for mpox infection. Results In this study, 128 MPXV cases (including 53 HIV individuals) and 151 controls (including 50 HIV individuals) were investigated. The average age of the cases was (32.48±6.67) years, all of whom were male, 101 were single, 100 had a college degree or higher, 60 were business services and self-owned occupations, 89 were homosexual, and 116 reported history of having homosexual behavior; 109 had an average of four or fewer homosexual behavior per month; 48 used condoms usually. The proportion of unmarried and those with a college degree or higher was lower in the monkeypox case group than the control group, while proportion of those with sexually transmitted diseases other than HIV was higher than the control group (P<0.05). Bisexuals or heterosexuality had a higher risk of MPXV compared to homosexuals (OR=4.65), the ones who never use condoms during homosexual activities were at higher risk for monkeypox (OR=3.25). There were no significant differences in epidemiological history between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression showed that being unaware of other STD infections was negatively associated with MPXV infection, while having other STDs other than HIV, being bisexual or heterosexual sexual behavior were positively associated with MPXV infection. Conclusion The MSM in Chengdu with concurrent infection with other sexually transmitted diseases other than HIV, bisexual or heterosexual sexual orientation were risk factors for mpox. It is necessary to strengthen health education for the ones at high-risk .Chengdu
