Cancer is increasingly acknowledged as a metabolic disease, characterized by metabolic reprogramming as its hallmark. However, the precise mechanisms behind this phenomenon and the factors contributing to tumorigenicity are still poorly understood. In a recent publication in , Mossmann and colleague reported a study unveiling arginine as a molecule with second messenger-like properties that reshapes metabolism to facilitate the tumor development in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer. However, mechanisms underlying metabolic reprogramming and how altered metabolism in turn enhances tumorigenicity are poorly understood. Here, we report that arginine levels are elevated in murine and patient hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), despite reduced expression of arginine synthesis genes.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ~20-22 nucleotides, non protein-coding RNA regulatory genes that post-transcriptionally regulate many protein-coding genes, influencing critical biological and metabolic processes. While the number of known microRNA is increasing, there is currently no published data for miRNA from giant freshwater prawns, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (M. rosenbergii), a commercially cultured and economically important food species.

Metazoan microRNAs (miRNAs) are commonly encoded by primary mRNA-like characteristics (mlRNAs). To investigate whether mlRNAs are subject to miRNA control, we compared the expression of mlRNAs to that of tissue-specific miRNAs. We show that, like mRNAs, the expression levels of predicted mlRNA targets are significantly reduced in tissues where a targeting miRNA is expressed.

Background: Recent analysis of the mouse transcriptional data has revealed the existence of approximately 34,000 messenger-like non-coding RNAs (ml-ncRNAs). Whereas the functional properties of these ml-ncRNAs are beginning to be unravelled, no functional information is available for the large majority of these transcripts.
Results: A few ml-ncRNA have been shown to have genomic loci that overlap with microRNA loci, leading us to suspect that a fraction of ml-ncRNA may encode microRNAs.
