HPV E6/E7-Induced Acetylation of a Peptide Encoded by a Long Non-Coding RNA Inhibits Ferroptosis to Promote the Malignancy of Cervical Cancer.

Although a fraction of functional peptides concealed within long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is identified, it remains unclear whether lncRNA-encoded peptides are involved in the malignancy of cervical cancer (CC). Here, a 92-amino acid peptide is discovered, which is named TUBORF, encoded by lncRNA TUBA3FP and highly expressed in CC tissues. TUBORF inhibits ferroptosis to promote the malignant proliferation of CC cells.

Clinical treatment options for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are currently limited to chemotherapy because of a lack of effective therapeutic targets. Recent evidence suggests that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) encode bioactive peptides or proteins, thereby playing noncanonical yet significant roles in regulating cellular processes. However, the potential of lncRNA-translated products in cancer progression remains largely unknown.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), once thought to be mere transcriptional noise, are now revealing a hidden code. Recent advancements like ribosome sequencing have unveiled that many lncRNAs harbor small open reading frames and can potentially encode functional micropeptides. Emerging research suggests these micropeptides, not the lncRNAs themselves, play crucial roles in regulating homeostasis, inflammation, metabolism, and especially in breast cancer progression.

Long non-coding RNAs were commonly viewed as non-coding elements. However, they are increasingly recognized for their ability to be translated into proteins, thereby playing a significant role in various cellular processes and diseases. With developments in biotechnology and computational algorithms, a range of novel approaches are being applied to investigate the translation of long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs).

Article Synopsis
  • - Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), like circular RNAs (circRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), are important RNA molecules found in eukaryotic genomes and are linked to various diseases, particularly cancers, due to their dysregulation.
  • - Recent studies show that some ncRNAs contain open reading frames (ORFs) that allow them to code for proteins or peptides, which play significant roles in physiological and pathological processes.
  • - This review provides an overview of the proteins/peptides produced by lncRNAs and circRNAs, discussing their mechanisms and potential applications in cancer diagnosis, disease prediction, and targeted therapies.
