The tumor microenvironment represents a dynamically composed matrix into which cancer cells and many other cell types are embedded to form organ-like structures. The tumor immune micmenvironment (TIME), composed of immune cells, is an inseparable part of the tumor microenvironment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) participate in the occurrence and development of tumors by delivering various biologically active molecules between cells;their role in cancer immune escape in particular has been widely proven. EVs can carry a wide array of cargo, such as non-coding rnas (ncrnas), including mirnas, lncrnas, and circrnas, which are selectively loaded by EVs, secreted, and transported to participate in the proliferation of immune cells. Hence, strategies to specifically target EV-ncrnas could be attractive therapeutic options. In this review, we summarize the current research on the role of EV-ncrnas in cancer immune escape, and discuss the latest research on the function and regulation mechanism of EV-ncrnas in cancer immune escape, highlighting and elucidating the potential clinical applications of EV-ncrnas, including in diagnosis and immunotherapy.

The brain constantly adapts to changes in the environment, a capability that underlies memory and behavior. Long-term adaptations require the remodeling of neural circuits that are mediated by activity-dependent alterations in gene expression. Over the last two decades, it has been shown that the expression of proteincoding genes is significantly regulated by a complex layer of non-coding rna (ncrna) interactions. The aim of this review is to summarize recent discoveries regarding the functional involvement of ncrnas during different stages of neural circuit development, activity-dependent circuit remodeling, and circuit maladapations underlying neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. In addition to the intensively studied microrna (mirna) family, we focus on more recently added ncrna classes, such as long ncrnas (lncrnas) and circular rnas (circrnas), and discuss the complex regulatory interactions between these different rnas. We conclude by discussing the potential relevance of ncrnas for cell-type and -state-specific regulation in the context of memory formation, the evolution of human cognitive abilities, and the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools in brain disorders.

The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei is the causative agent of African sleeping sickness and the wasting disease, nagana, in cattle. The parasite is transmitted to the mammalian host by the bite of a tsetse fly. These parasites lack transcriptional regulation, and their gene expression is mainly regulated post-transcriptionally. Changes in the transcriptome and proteome suggest that mrna stability and translation regulation operate to control cycling between the hosts. The review discusses the small RNome of T. brucei, and the potential involvement of these molecules in shaping the adaptation of the parasites to their hosts.

Advancing age is associated with the loss of cognitive ability and vulnerability to debilitating mental diseases. Although much is known about the development of cognitive processes in the brain, the study of the molecular mechanisms governing memory decline with aging is still in its infancy. Recently, it has become apparent that most of the human genome is transcribed into non-coding rnas (ncrnas) rather than protein-coding mrnas. Multiple types of ncrnas are enriched in the central nervous system, and this large group of molecules may regulate the molecular complexity of the brain, its neurons, and synapses. Here, we review the current knowledge on the role of ncrnas in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory in the broader context of the aging brain and associated memory loss. We also discuss future directions to study the role of ncrnas in the aging process. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

At most, many protein-misfolding diseases develop as environmentally induced sporadic disorders. Recent studies indicate that the dynamic interplay between a wide repertoire of noncodingrnas and the environment play an important role in brain development and pathogenesis of brain disorders. To elucidate this new issue, novel animal models which reproduce the most prominent disease manifestations are required. For this, transgenic Drosophila strains were constructed to express small highly structured, non-coding rna under control of a heat shock promoter. Expression of the rna induced formation of intracellular aggregates revealed by Thioflafin T in embryonic cell culture and Congo Red in the brain of transgenic flies. Also, this strongly perturbed the brain control of locomotion monitored by the parameters of sound production and memory retention of young 5-day-old males. This novel model demonstrates that expression of non-coding rna alone is sufficient to trigger neuropathology.

non-protein-codingrnas (ncrnas) play critical roles on many levels of cellular information processing and pervasive expression of ncrnas in the nervous system could help explain brain complexity. Ncrnas are enriched in the central nervous system and are associated with specific neuroanatomical regions. Additionally, several recent publications have revealed an important role for deregulation of ncrnas in various human neuropathologies, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Fragile X mental retardation. Herein, we summarize reports on functional ncrna molecules involved in cellular stress response, particularly related to Alzheimer's disease. We conclude that ncrnas have a prominent role in maintaining precise physiological levels of gene products directly implicated in Alzheimer's disease pathology. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is the process wherein endothelial cells lose their typical endothelial cell markers and functions and adopt a mesenchymal-like phenotype. EndMT is required for development of the cardiac valves, the pulmonary and dorsal aorta, and arterial maturation, but activation of the EndMT programme during adulthood is believed to contribute to several pathologies including organ fibrosis, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. non-coding rnas, including micrornas, long non-coding rnas, and circular rnas, modulate EndMT during development and disease. Here, we review the mechanisms by which non-coding rnas facilitate or inhibit EndMT during development and disease and provide a perspective on the therapeutic application of non-coding rnas to treat fibroproliferative cardiovascular disease.

A striking inding in the past decade is the production of numerous non-coding rnas(nc rnas) from mammalian genomes. While it is entirely possible that many of those nc rnas are transcription noises or by-products of rna processing, increasing evidence suggests that a large fraction of them are functional and provide various regulatory activities in the cell. hus, functional genomics and proteomics are incomplete without understanding functional ribonomics. As has been long suggested by the ‘rna world’hypothesis, many nc rnas have the capacity to act like proteins in diverse biochemical processes. he enormous amount of information residing in the primary sequences and secondary structures of nc rnas makes them particularly suited to function as scafolds for molecular interactions. In addition, their functions appear to be stringently controlled by default via abundant nucleases when not engaged in speciic interactions. his review focuses on the functional properties of regulatory nc rnas in comparison with proteins and emphasizes both the opportunities and challenges in future nc rna research.

An increasing number of non-coding rnas (ncrnas) are found to have roles in gene expression and cellular regulations. However, there are still a large number of ncrnas whose functions remain to be studied. Despite decades of research, the field continues to evolve, with each newly identified ncrna undergoing processes such as biogenesis, identification, and functional annotation. Bioinformatics methodologies, alongside traditional biochemical experimental methods, have played an important role in advancing ncrna research across various stages. Presently, over 50 types of ncrnas have been characterized, each exhibiting diverse functions. However, there remains a need for standardization and integration of these ncrnas within a unified framework. In response to this gap, this review traces the historical trajectory of ncrna research and proposes a unified notation system. Additionally, we comprehensively elucidate the ncrna interactome, detailing its associations with DNAs, rnas, proteins, complexes, and chromatin. A web portal named ncrna Hub (https://***/nchub/) is also constructed to provide detailed notations of ncrnas and share a collection of bioinformatics resources. This review aims to provide a broader perspective and standardized paradigm for advancing ncrna research.

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) has various causes, including chromosomal abnormalities, prethrombotic state, and abnormal uterine anatomical factors. However, the pathogenesis of RSA is still unclear. Surprisingly, non-coding rna can stably express at the maternal-fetal interface and regulate immune cells' proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Accumulating evidence suggests that the competing endogenous rna (cerna) regulatory network between non-coding rnas complicates RSA's pathological process and maybe a new starting point for exploring RSA. In this review, we mainly discuss the regulatory network and potential significance of non-coding rna in the immune microenvironment of RSA patients. In addition, the cellular interactions of non-coding rna transported through vesicles were introduced from aspects of trophoblast function and immune regulation. Finally, we analyze previous studies and further discuss that the stable expression of non-coding rna may be used as a biomarker of some disease states and a prediction target of RSA.
