Background: The present study is aimed at providing systematic insight into the composition and expression of transfer RNA (tRNA) derivative transcription in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).
Methods: tRNA derivative expression profiles in three pairs of HGSOC and adjacent normal ovarian tissues were conducted by tRNA-derived small RNA fragment (tRF) and tRNA half (tiRNA) sequencing. The differentially expressed tRFs and tiRNAs between HGSOC and paired adjacent normal samples were screened. The targeted genes of differentially expressed tRFs and tiRNAs were screened. The Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) of target genes of tRFs and tiRNAs were analyzed.
Results: There are a total of 20 significantly upregulated and 15 significantly downregulated tRFs and tiRNAs between the cancer group and the paracarcinoma group. The upregulated tRFs and tiRNAs are mucin-type O-glycan biosynthesis, glycosphingolipid biosynthesis, the glucagon signaling pathway, the AMPK signaling pathway, maturity-onset diabetes of the young, glycosphingolipid biosynthesis, the insulin signaling pathway, insulin resistance, leukocyte transendothelial migration, starch, and sucrose metabolism. The downregulated tRFs and tiRNAs are other glycan degradation, vitamin digestion and absorption, fatty acid elongation, and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids.
Conclusions: There are significantly expressed tRFs and tiRNAs in HGSOC tissues, and these may provide potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for HGSOC.

Article Synopsis
- Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are important non-coding RNAs involved in various cellular processes, such as inhibiting translation and responding to stress.
- Researchers identified specific tsRNA profiles in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, FTD, and PD to find disease-specific and shared tsRNAs.
- They discovered variations in tsRNA expression across different models, with specific patterns linking to synaptic and neuronal functions, highlighting potential disease fingerprints that need to be explored in human conditions.

In recent years, tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) including tRNA-derived stress-induced RNAs (tiRNAs) and tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs), with specific structure and enriched in body fluids, have been found to have specific biological functions. In this paper, the biogenesis, classification, subcellular localization, and biological functions of tsRNAs were summarized. It has been proved that tsRNAs affected tumor cells in proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion, and played roles in regulating the occurrence and development of various tumors.

The expression of tsRNA in white adipose tissue (WAT) of VD deficiency male mice with obesity has not been reported. The healthy male C57BL/6J mice aged 4-6 weeks were divided into 4 groups according to the VD and fat energy supplement in daily diets. The qPCR verification further demonstrated that tRF5-20-HisGTG-3 were significantly up-regulated and mt-tRF3a-ProTGG was significantly down-regulated not only in HFVDD vs HFVDS, but aslo in HFVDD vs ConVDS.

tsRNA (tRNA-derived small RNA) is derived from mature tRNA or precursor tRNA (pre-tRNAs). It is lately found that tsRNA's aberrant expression is associated with tumor occurrence and development, it may be used a molecule of diagnosis and therapy. Based on the cleavage position of pre-tRNAs or mature tRNAs, tsRNAs are classified into two categories: tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) and tRNA halves (also named tiRNAs or tRHs).
