AI Article Synopsis

  • Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in regulating DNA, RNA, and protein interactions but direct binding to DNA is not commonly shown.
  • This text outlines computational strategies for identifying lncRNAs that can bind to chromatin through stable DNA-DNA-RNA triplex formations.
  • Additionally, it highlights biophysical methods for experimentally validating the lncRNA-target gene interactions selected through computational means.

Article Abstract

Long noncoding RNAs are well studied for their regulatory actions through interaction with DNA regulating biological roles of DNA, RNA, or protein. However, direct binding of lncRNA with DNA is rarely demonstrated in experiments. The present protocol explains genome wide computational strategies to choose lncRNAs that can bind directly to the chromatin by forming highly stable DNA-DNA-RNA triplexes. The chapter also focuses on biophysical methods that can be used to validate the computationally derived lncRNA-gene targets in vitro.

The pathogenesis of complex diseases is intricately linked to various genes and network medicine has enhanced understanding of diseases. However, most network-based approaches ignore interactions mediated by noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) and most databases only focus on the association between genes and diseases. Based on the mentioned questions, we have developed DisGeNet, a database focuses not only on the disease-associated genes but also on the interactions among genes.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a highly challenging and fatal disease, with diverse challenges arising at different stages of its progression. As such, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which can broadly regulate cell fate, and stem cells with multi-differentiation potential are emerging as novel therapeutic approaches for treating MI across its various stages. NcRNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs), can directly participate in regulating intracellular signaling pathways, influence cardiac angiogenesis, and promote the repair of infarcted myocardium.

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer globally, and has recently become the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. BC is a heterogeneous disease comprising various histopathological and molecular subtypes with differing levels of malignancy, and each patient has an individual prognosis. Etiology and pathogenesis are complex and involve a considerable number of genetic alterations and dozens of alterations in non-coding RNA expression.
