Non-Coding RNA, Volume 6, Issue 3

September 2020 - 16 articles

Cover Story: Non-coding RNAs are grouped by size, where those smaller than 200 nucleotides are defined as small non-coding RNAs and those longer than 200 nt are defined as long non-coding RNAs. The ncRNAs are key regulators in a wide range of cellular processes such as transcription, translation, RNA processing, and signalling. The lncRNAs can function via three general mechanisms: interaction with DNA, RNA modulation, and protein modulation. They are commonly dysregulated in disease and have recently been implicated in cancer. Many lncRNAs are differentially expressed in NSCLC, where, generally, upregulated lncRNAs function as tumour promoters and downregulated lncRNAs function as tumour suppressors. However, their precise mechanisms that lead to alterations in cancer cell proliferation, survival, migration, invasion, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and metastasis are not fully understood.

Although mammals possess roughly the same number of protein-coding genes as worms, it is evident that the non-coding transcriptome content has become far broader and more sophisticated during evolution. Indeed, the vital regulatory importance of both...
