Short and Long Non-Coding RNAs in Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents the most frequent kidney malignancy and remains a major clinical challenge due to its often silent onset, high metastatic potential, and limited responsiveness to conventional chemotherapy. Increasing evidence indicates that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), are key regulators of RCC tumorigenesis, progression, and therapy resistance. Rather than providing a purely descriptive overview, this review focuses on emerging mechanistic paradigms through which ncRNAs actively shap

Aptamer: A potential oligonucleotide nanomedicine in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers with a high mortality rate. Late diagnosis and poor prognosis are still a major drawback since curative therapies such as liver resection and liver transplantation are effective only for an early stage HCC. Development of novel molecular targeting therapies against HCC may provide new options that will improve the efficiency of the diagnosis and the success of the therapy, thus ameliorating the life expectancy of the patients. The aptamer is an oligonucleotide nanomedicine that has high binding affinity and specificity to small a

Functions and Therapeutic Potentials of Long Noncoding RNA in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy and Dystrophy.

Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in the human body and is responsible for movement, metabolism, energy production and longevity. Muscle atrophy is a frequent complication of several diseases and occurs when protein degradation exceeds protein synthesis. Genetics, ageing, nerve injury, weightlessness, cancer, chronic diseases, the accumulation of metabolic byproducts and other stimuli can lead to muscle atrophy. Muscular dystrophy is a neuromuscular disorder, part of which is caused by the deficiency of dystrophin protein and is mostly related to genetics. Muscle atrophy and muscular

LncRNA Gas5, a Target of the Nonsense-Mediated Decay Pathway in the Brain, Regulates Neuroinflammation and Neurodegenerative Disease Pathways in a Tauopathy Mouse Model.

Dysregulation of target genes of nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) in the brain remains sparsely known in tauopathies. PS19 transgenic mice expressing human mutant P301S tau were evaluated for levels of lncRNA Gas5, a target of NMD. The results show Gas5 decreased in the brains of PS19 mice as they aged. We evaluated the consequences of blocking the NMD-mediated turnover of Gas5 using a small molecule administered intranasally to PS19 mice. The results show NPC86 disassociated Upf1 and Gas5, thereby hindering NMD. NPC86 treatment increased Gas5 levels in the cortex of male PS19 mice concurrent wit

Internalized Functional DNA Aptamers as Alternative Cancer Therapies.

Despite major advances, cancer remains one of the largest burdens of disease worldwide. One reason behind this is that killing tumor cells without affecting healthy surrounding tissue remains a largely elusive prospect, despite the widespread availability of cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents. To meet these modern healthcare requirements, it is essential to develop precision therapeutics that minimise off-target side-effects for various cancer types. To this end, highly specific molecular targeting agents against cancer are of great interest. These agents may work by targeting intracellular sig

Nanomaterials in gene therapy and genome editing: challenges and emerging directions.

Nanomaterials are redefining the landscape of gene and genome editing, yet their translation to clinical reality remains constrained by multiple unresolved challenges. While they provide structural and functional advantages for delivering nucleic acids and CRISPR/Cas systems across biological barriers, their behavior within living systems is often unpredictable, leading to issues such as off-target editing, immune activation, and inconsistent biodistribution. The design of nanocarriers, whether lipid-based, polymeric, inorganic, must therefore balance efficiency with safety, integrating physic

New approaches for cancer treatment: antitumor drugs based on gene-targeted nucleic acids.

Currently, the main way to fight cancer is still chemotherapy. This method of treatment is at the height of its capacity, so, setting aside the need for further improvements in traditional treatments for neoplasia, it is vital to develop now approaches toward treating malignant tumors. This paper reviews innovational experimental approaches to treating malignant malformations based on the use of gene-targeted drugs, such as antisense oligonucleotides (asON), small interfering RNA (siRNA), ribozymes, and DNAzymes, which can all inhibit oncogene expression. The target genes for these drugs are t

An immunotherapeutic approach to decipher the role of long non-coding RNAs in cancer progression, resistance and epigenetic regulation of immune cells.

Immunotherapeutic treatments are gaining attention due to their effective anti-tumor response. Particularly, the revolution of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) produces promising outcomes for various cancer types. However, the usage of immunotherapy is limited due to its low response rate, suggesting that tumor cells escape the immune surveillance. Rapid advances in transcriptomic profiling have led to recognize immune-related long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs), as regulators of immune cell-specific gene expression that mediates immune stimulatory as well as suppression of immune response, indi

Short-chain acyl post-translational modifications in cancers: Mechanisms, roles, and therapeutic implications.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a pivotal role in epigenetic regulation and are key pathways for modulating protein functionality. PTMs involve the covalent attachment of distinct chemical groups, such as succinyl, crotonyl, and lactyl, at specific protein sites, which alter protein structure, function, stability, and activity, ultimately influencing biological processes. Recently, metabolically derived short-chain acylation modifications (with acyl groups containing fewer than six carbon atoms) have been progressively identified, such as butyrylation, succinylation, crotonylation

Circular RNAs in cancer.

Circular RNA (circRNA), a subtype of noncoding RNA, has emerged as a significant focus in RNA research due to its distinctive covalently closed loop structure. CircRNAs play pivotal roles in diverse physiological and pathological processes, functioning through mechanisms such as miRNAs or proteins sponging, regulation of splicing and gene expression, and serving as translation templates, particularly in the context of various cancers. The hallmarks of cancer comprise functional capabilities acquired during carcinogenesis and tumor progression, providing a conceptual framework that elucidates t

mRNA vaccine development and applications: A special focus on tumors (Review).

Cancer is characterized by unlimited proliferation and metastasis, and traditional therapeutic strategies usually result in the acquisition of drug resistance, thus highlighting the need for more personalized treatment. mRNA vaccines transfer the gene sequences of exogenous target antigens into human cells through transcription and translation to stimulate the body to produce specific immune responses against the encoded proteins, so as to enable the body to obtain immune protection against said antigens; this approach may be adopted for personalized cancer therapy. Since the recent coronaviru

LAMP5 modulates IRF4 stability and nuclear transport: a critical mechanism in myeloma progression and therapy.

Multiple myeloma is a malignant hematopoietic neoplasm characterized by unclear molecular mechanisms and lack of highly effective targeted therapies for clinical application. Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is a well-known core transcription factor that regulates the progression of myeloma, but the molecular mechanisms underlying its protein homeostasis regulation are unknown. Our research shows that lysosomal-associated membrane protein 5 (LAMP5) interacts with IRF4 and prevents its degradation through the autophagy-lysosome pathway, thereby facilitating the progression of myeloma.
