AI Article Synopsis

  • Dysregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the genome has been linked to cancer development and progression, highlighting their importance in the transcriptome.
  • Research has identified various roles of lncRNAs in human cancers and developed strategies to target these transcripts in cancer cells.
  • The review connects lncRNA expression to the DNA damage response and oxidative stress, which play critical roles in cellular damage and overall cancer biology.

Article Abstract

In addition to aberrant alternation of transcriptome, it is now suggested that dysregulation of the non-coding transcripts, particularly long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which comprise the majority of the genome, is contributed to cancer initiation and progression. As the result of recent huge efforts, the possible roles of numerous lncRNAs in the human cancers were characterized, as well as various strategies with inhibitory effects to target these transcripts on the transformed cells. Moreover, DNA damage response (DDR) pathway is a complex regulatory network responsible for the identification of disruptions in DNA structure, integrity and stability- it is reported to be associated with the up-regulation and down-regulation of lncRNAs. This review explores the involvement of the various lncRNAs in different human cancers, afterwards discusses the association of the lncRNAs expression with the DDR and oxidative stress, which are implicated in a myriad pathophysiological and physiological intra- and extracellular damages.

The MIR-NAT MAPT-AS1 does not regulate Tau expression in human neurons.

PLoS One

The MAPT gene encodes Tau protein, a member of the large family of microtubule-associated proteins. Tau forms large insoluble aggregates that are toxic to neurons in several neurological disorders, and neurofibrillary Tau tangles represent a key pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies. Lowering Tau expression levels constitutes a potential treatment for AD but the mechanisms that regulate Tau expression at the transcriptional or translational level are not well understood.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rare tumor that invades the blood and bone marrow, it is rapidly progressive, highly aggressive, and difficult to cure. Studies have shown that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and ferroptosis play important roles in AML. However, few studies have been done on ferroptosis-related lncRNA for AML.

In mammals, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a regulatory role in gene expression, contribute to immune responses, and aid in pathogen elimination, primarily through interactions with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). However, the role of lncRNAs in fish innate immunity and their interaction with RBPs remains uncertain. To investigate the immunomodulatory role of lncRNAs in Megalobrama amblycephala, we identified the novel lncRNA MSTRG.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a collection of non-coding RNA molecules that consist of more than 200 nucleotides. In human malignancies, these lncRNAs exhibit abnormal expression patterns and play a significant role in either suppressing or promoting tumor growth. They achieve this by modulating various functions and mechanisms within cancer cells, including proliferation, invasion, metastasis, apoptosis, and resistance to different therapeutic approaches.
