The immune system accidentally targets the body's tissues, causing inflammation and tissue damage, the root causes of autoimmune illnesses. In recent studies, non-coding RNAs have been shown to significantly control gene expression and metabolic pathways linked to autoimmune diseases. This review investigates the effects of non-coding RNA on glucose metabolism, a route frequently dysregulated in autoimmune illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and diabetes.

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) serves as the enzymatic catalytic subunit of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which is capable of modifying the expression of downstream target genes through the trimethylation of Lys-27 on histone 3 (H3K27me3). In addition to its role in H3K27me3 modification, EZH2 may influence gene expression through alternative mechanisms. The involvement of EZH2 in cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, and senescence has been established.

Transcription takes place over a significant portion of the human genome. However, only a small portion of the transcriptome, roughly 1.2 %, consists of RNAs translated into proteins; the majority of transcripts, on the other hand, comprise a variety of RNA families with varying sizes and functions.

Article Synopsis
  • Natural killer (NK) cells are important immune cells in cancer therapy, with treatments aimed at enhancing their anti-cancer functions in the body.
  • NK cell-derived exosomes (NDEs) are safe, easily modified, and can boost the effectiveness of various cancer therapies while minimizing side effects.
  • The review discusses the potential and challenges of different NK cell therapies, the impact of tumor exosomes on NK cells, and the future role of NDEs in improving cancer immunotherapy outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • * Acetylation affects the functioning of proteins like cytokine receptors and transcription factors, which play crucial roles in inflammatory responses.
  • * Some HDAC inhibitors are used as cancer treatments due to their ability to control cell growth and programmed cell death, and this review discusses their potential application in treating inflammatory diseases like arthritis and IBD.

Article Synopsis
  • Chemotherapy has significantly increased the survival rates of cancer patients, but it may also cause harmful effects on the heart, leading to potential heart failure.
  • The main cause of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CIC) is believed to be the production of free radicals, which creates oxidative stress.
  • The review highlights the Sirtuin-1 (Sirt1)/Nuclear factor E2-associated factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway as a promising method to combat CIC by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death.
