non-coding rnas (ncrnas) are an abundant component of the human transcriptome. Their biological role, however, remains incompletely understood. Nevertheless, ncrnas are highly associated with cancer development and progression due to their ability to modulate gene expression, protein translation and growth pathways. Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are considered one of the most promising and highly effective therapeutic approaches for cancer treatment. ICIs are monoclonal antibodies targeting immune checkpoints such as CTLA-4, PD-1 and PD-L1 signalling pathways that stimulate T cell cytotoxicity and can result in tumor growth suppression. This Review will summarize existing knowledge regarding ncrnas and their role in cancer and ICI therapy. In addition, we will discuss potential mechanisms by which ncrnas may influence ICI treatment outcomes.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare malignancy, with extremely poor survival rates. There are limited treatment options, with no second line standard of care for those who fail first line chemotherapy. Recent advances have been made to characterise the underlying molecular mechanisms of mesothelioma, in the hope of providing new targets for therapy. With the discovery that non-coding regions of our DNA are more than mere junk, the field of research into non-coding rnas (ncrnas) has exploded in recent years. non-coding rnas have diverse and important roles in a variety of cellular processes, but are also implicated in malignancy. In the following review, we discuss two types of non-coding rnas, long non-coding rnas and micrornas, in terms of their role in the pathogenesis of MPM and their potential as both biomarkers and as therapeutic targets in this disease.

Huntington Disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by expanded CAG repeats in the exon1 of huntingtin gene (HTT). The mutant HTT affects the transcriptional profile of neurons by disrupting the activities of transcriptional machinery and alters expression of many genes. In this study, we identified dysregulated non-coding rnas (ncrnas) in medium spiny neurons of 4-week-old HD model mouse. Also, we observed the intracellular localizations of Abhd11os and Neat1 ncrnas by Viewrna in situ hybridization, which could provide more precise detection, suggesting that it is a useful method to investigate the expression changes of genes with low expression levels.

Although control of cellular function has classically been considered the responsibility of proteins, research over the last decade has elucidated many roles for rna in regulation of not only the proteins that control cellular functions but also for the cellular functions themselves. In parallel to this advancement in knowledge about the regulatory roles of rna there has been an explosion of knowledge about the role that epigenetics plays in controlling not only long-term cellular fate but also the short-term regulatory control of genes. Of particular interest is the crossover between these two worlds, a world where rna can act out its part and subsequently elicit chromatin modifications that alter cellular function. Two main categories of rna are examined here, non-coding rna and antisense rna both of which perform vital functions in controlling numerous genes, proteins and rna itself. As the activities of non-coding and antisense rna in both normal and aberrant cellular function are elucidated, so does the number of possible targets for pharmacopeic intervention.

non-coding rna (ncrna) genes make transcripts as same as the encoding genes, and ncrnas directly function as rnas rather than serve as blueprints for proteins. As the function of ncrna is closely related to organelle genomes, it is desirable to explore ncrna function by confirming its provenance. In this paper, the topology secondary structure, motif and the triplets under three reading frames are considered as parameters of ncrnas. A method of SVM combining the increment of diversity (ID) algorithm is applied to construct the classifier. When the method is applied to the ncrna dataset less than 80% sequence identity, the overall accuracies reach 95.57%, 96.40% in the five-fold cross-validation and the jackknife test, respectively. Further, for the independent testing dataset, the average prediction success rate of our method achieved 93.24%. The higher predictive success rates indicate that our method is very helpful for distinguishing ncrnas from various organelle genomes. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Muscle atrophy is a common complication of many chronic healthy habits and usage of hormones such as dexamethasone can also lead to muscle atrophy. However, the underlying mechanisms of muscle atrophy are not completely understood. non-coding rnas (ncrnas), such as micrornas (mirnas), long ncrnas (lncrnas), and circular rnas (circrnas), play vital roles in muscle atrophy. This review mainly discusses the regulation of ncrnas in muscle atrophy induced by various factors such as heart failure, cancer cachexia, aging, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), peripheral nerve and usage of hormones;highlights the findings of ncrnas as common regulators in multiple types of muscle atrophy;and summarizes current therapies and underlying mechanisms for muscle atrophy. This review will deepen the understanding of skeletal muscle biology and provide new strategies and insights into gene therapy for muscle atrophy.

non-coding rna (ncrna) therapeutics can target either ncrnas or conventional messenger rna, offering both superior pharmacokinetics and selectivity to conventional therapies and addressing new, previously unexplored pathways. Although no ncrna has yet been approved for the treatment of heart failure, in this review we present five most promising pathways and agents that either are in human clinical trials or offer great promise in the near future.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) pose a significant burden on global health. Developing effective diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic indicators for CVDs is critical. This narrative review explores the role of select non-coding rnas (ncrnas) and provides an in-depth exploration of the roles of mirnas, lncrnas, and circrnas in different aspects of CVDs, offering insights into their mechanisms and potential clinical implications. The review also sheds light on the diverse functions of ncrnas, including their modulation of gene expression, epigenetic modifications, and signaling pathways. It comprehensively analyzes the interplay between ncrnas and cardiovascular health, paving the way for potential novel interventions. Finally, the review provides insights into the methodologies used to investigate ncrna-mediated gene regulation in CVDs, as well as the implications and challenges associated with translating ncrna research into clinical applications. Considering the broader implications, this research opens avenues for interdisciplinary collaborations, enhancing our understanding of CVDs across scientific disciplines.

Calorie restriction (CR) is a broadly effective environmental intervention that extends life by operating through numerous biological processes. Here, we discuss how non-coding rna (ncrna) molecules act as mediators and targets of lifespan-extending CR. We also highlight how these rna molecules connect CR to its effects on genome stability, cell metabolism, programmed cell death, senescence, cancer, and neurodegeneration. We anticipate that an advanced understanding of the connections between CR and non-coding rna will provide unique insights into aging mechanisms while pointing to novel approaches aimed at modulating aging and age-related diseases.
