AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that serve as versatile molecular engineering tools to improve production cells by overexpression or knockdown of miRNAs showing beneficial or adverse effects on cell-culture performance. The genomic knockout (KO) of noncoding RNAs in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) production cells has not been reported. However, given the significant number of miRNAs showing negative effects on CHO-bioprocess performance and the development of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated proteins (CRISPR/Cas9), genome editing tools facilitate precise optimization of CHO cells via modulation of noncoding RNAs. In a previous high-content miRNA screen, miR-744 was identified as a potential target associated with reduced productivity. Hence, the genomic miR-744 precursor sequence is deleted by two single guide RNA (sgRNA)-Cas9-mediated DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) flanking the miR-744 locus. After fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), clonal miR-744 KO cell lines are recovered and three of them are confirmed as miR-744 KOs. Impacts of CRISPR/Cas9 editing are characterized at the genetic, transcript, and phenotypic levels. During batch cultivation, antibody titers of miR-744 KOs are significantly increased to 190-311 mg L compared to a nontargeting (NT) sgRNA transfected clonal control with 156 mg L , pointing towards the potential of miRNA KO for cell line engineering.

The long non-coding RNA Growth Arrest-Specific 5 (GAS5) is pivotal in modulating key signaling pathways by functioning as a molecular sponge for microRNAs (miRNAs). GAS5 is notably recognized for its antitumor properties, primarily through its ability to sequester oncogenic miRNAs, thereby influencing critical pathways such as p53, Wnt/β-catenin, and PI3K/Akt, all of which are integral to cell proliferation, apoptosis, and metastasis. The disruption of GAS5-miRNA interactions has been implicated in various malignancies, reinforcing its potential as both a biomarker and a therapeutic target.

Unlabelled: Neuroblastoma, " a malignancy originating from neural crest cells, is most commonly diagnosed in children and adolescents. Polymorphisms within the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) HOXA distal transcript antisense RNA (HOTTIP) are believed to have the capacity to alter an individual's susceptibility to various cancers. This study aimed to investigate the link between HOTTIP gene polymorphisms and neuroblastoma susceptibility.

Transfer RNA-derived fragments (tRFs) are noncoding small RNAs derived from transfer RNAs (tRNAs) in microorganisms, animals and plants. In plants, tRFs are known to respond to environmental stimuli, including heat, oxidative stress and UV radiation; however, their specific functions in horticultural plants, such as grapevine, remain poorly understood. In this study, we used RNA-seq to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in grape leaves exposed to UV-C radiation.

The crosstalk between the tumour immune microenvironment (TIME) and tumour cells promote immune evasion and resistance to immunotherapy in gastrointestinal (GI) tumours. Post-transcriptional regulation of genes is pivotal to GI tumours progression, and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) serve as key regulators via their RNA-binding domains. RBPs may exhibit either anti-tumour or pro-tumour functions by influencing the TIME through the modulation of mRNAs and non-coding RNAs expression, as well as post-transcriptional modifications, primarily N6-methyladenosine (mA).
