Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNA (sncRNA) molecules derived from tRNA, including tRNA derived fragments (tRFs) and tRNA halfs (tiRNAs). tsRNAs can affect cell functions by participating in gene expression regulation, translation regulation, intercellular signal transduction, and immune response. They have been shown to play an important role in various human diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Targeted regulation of tsRNAs expression can affect the progression of CVDs. The tsRNAs induced by pathological conditions can be detected when released into the extracellular, giving them enormous potential as disease biomarkers. Here, we review the biogenesis, degradation process and related functional mechanisms of tsRNAs, and discuss the research progress and application prospects of tsRNAs in different CVDs, to provide a new perspective on the treatment of CVDs.

Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), a recently identified non-coding RNA subset, are mainly classified into tRNA-derived small RNA fragments (tRFs) and tRNA-derived stress-induced RNAs (tiRNAs). tsRNAs dysregulation is frequently observed in numerous cancer types, suggesting involvement in tumorigenesis. However, their functions in breast cancer (BC) remain to be fully understood.

Transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived fragments, a new type of tRNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA), can be cleaved from tRNA by enzymes to regulate target gene expression at the transcriptional and translational levels. tsRNAs are not only degradation fragments but also have biological functions, including those in immune inflammation, metabolic disorders, and cell death. tsRNA dysregulation is closely associated with multiple diseases, including various cancers and acute pancreatitis (AP).

Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs, a recently identified class of small noncoding RNAs, play a crucial role in regulating gene expression and are implicated in cerebrovascular diseases. However, the specific biological roles and mechanisms of transfer RNA-derived small RNAs in intracranial aneurysms (IAs) remain unclear. In this study, we identified that the transfer RNA-Asp-GTC derived fragment (tRF-AspGTC) is highly expressed in the IA tissues of both humans and mice.

Recently, members of a unique species of non-coding RNA, known as transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) have been reported to serve multiple molecular functions, including in cells that mediate immunity. Because of their low molecular weights, tsRNAs were previously difficult to detect and were thus overlooked, until now. In this review, we delve into the biogenesis of tsRNAs and their diverse biological functions, ranging from transcriptional regulation to modulation of mRNA translation.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the kind of carcinoma that has the highest rates of morbidity and death worldwide. In the early stages of GC, there is currently an absence of sensitive and specific biomarkers. The newly-discovered class of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) known as transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) is highly expressed in bodily fluids and neoplastic cells.
