Background
LINC00426 is a newly identified long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) with unacknowledged biological roles. Here we set out to characterize the expression status of LINC00426 in osteosarcoma and understand its mechanistic involvement in incidence of doxorubicin (Dox) resistance.
Methods
The relative expression of LINC00426 and miR-4319 was determined by real-time PCR. Cell viability and proliferation in response to LINC00426 silencing or miR-4319 over-expression was measured with CCK-8 kit and colony formation assay, respectively. The direct association between LINC00426 and miR-4319 was analyzed by pulldown assay with biotin-labelled probes.
Results
LINC00426 was significantly up-regulated in Dox-resistant osteosarcoma (OS) both in vitro and in vivo, which intimately associated with unfavorable prognosis. SiRNA-mediated knockdown of LINC00426 remarkably compromised cell viability and proliferation in Dox-resistant OS cells, which accompanied with decrease of IC50 and activation of caspase-3. We further predicted and validated the regulatory effects of miR-4319 on LINC00426 expression. Simultaneously, we provided evidences in support of direct binding between LINC00426 and miR-4319 by pulldown assay. Reciprocally negative regulation was observed between LINC00426 and miR-4319 each other.
Conclusion
Ectopic introduction of miR-4319 significantly surmounted the Dox resistance in OS cells, while miR-4319 inhibition in LINC00426-deficient cells greatly restore this phenotype. We uncovered the important contribution of LINC00426/miR-4319 to Dox resistance in osteosarcoma.

In this paper, a novel joint loss Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) framework is proposed for thermography nondestructive testing named Defect-Detection Network (DeftectNet). A new joint loss function that incorporates both the modified GAN loss and penalty loss is proposed. The strategy enables the training process to be more stable and to significantly improve the detection rate.The obtained result shows that the proposed joint loss can better capture the salient features in order to improve the detection accuracy. In order to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method, experimental studies have been carried out for inner debond defects on both regular and irregular shaped carbon fiber reinforced polymer/plastic (CFRP) specimens. A comparison experiment has been undertaken to study the proposed method with other current state-of-the-art deep semantic segmentation algorithms. The promising results have been obtained where the performance of the proposed method can achieve end-to-end detection of defects.
