Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are noncoding RNAs primarily known for guiding chemical modifications of RNA, but their broader cellular roles and contributions to human diseases remain elusive. This In Focus article introduces the development of snoRNA-enriched kethoxal-assisted RNA-RNA sequencing (snoKARR-seq), a transcriptome-wide approach to uncover snoRNA targets with enhanced sensitivity and specificity. This method revealed an unexpected role for snoRNAs in protein translocation and secretion, expanding our understanding of their noncanonical functions.

Small nucleolar RNA host gene 10 (SNHG10) is a newly recognized long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) with significant implications in cancer biology. Abnormal expression of SNHG10 has been observed in various solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Research conducted in vivo and in vitro has revealed that SNHG10 plays a pivotal role in numerous biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration, drug resistance, energy metabolism, immune evasion, as well as tumor growth and metastasis.

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.

Background: Pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury (PIRI) is a major cause of fatality post-lung transplantation. Though some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been studied in acute lung injury (ALI), their effects on PIRI remain undefined. The present study aims to explore the underlying mechanism of small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) in PIRI.

Objective: Gastric cancer (GC) is a globally common cancer characterized by high incidence and mortality worldwide. Advances in the molecular understanding of GC provide promising targets for GC diagnosis and therapy. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their downstream regulators are regarded to be implicated in the progression of multiple types of malignancies.
