Book Regulatory Networks in Non small Cell Lung Cancer

Download or read book Regulatory Networks in Non small Cell Lung Cancer written by Jasmine Kamal Omran and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most prevalent class of lung cancer and the most common cancer worldwide. NSCLC accounts for 85% of total lung cancer cases and leads to the most cancer-related deaths worldwide. Micro RNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are gene regulatory elements that play crucial roles in cancer biology such as cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis, and metastasis. Understanding the gene regulatory elements that influence cancer biology is critical for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A systems approach can help simulate interactions between these elements. In this study 110 microarray samples from NSCLC patients were analyzed by computational methods to identify differentially expressed genes in two tissue types: NSCLC and normal lung tissue. Identified differentially expressed genes were functionally clustered and annotated with their miRNA and lncRNA targets using miRTarBase and starBase, respectively. Regulatory networks were created to suggest an interplay between these miRNAs, lncRNAs, and differentially expressed genes. This approach led to the identification of 108 differentially expressed genes. Innumerable miRNAs target the differentially expressed genes but 66 miRNAs were identified by literature mining and strong evidence validation methods to identify miRNA and differentially expressed gene targets. The filtered miRNAs were also paired with seven of the most common NSCLC-associated lncRNAs. Based on the findings of this study and other computational studies in literature, connections of differentially expressed genes, miRNAs, and lncRNAs were suggested. TGFBR3 and HHIP, tumor suppressor genes, and CAV1, an oncogene, were functionally related to carcinogenesis and cancer cell metastasis, respectively and were related to cell signaling and extracellular matrix genes. This study suggests that MALAT1, PVT1, and GAS5 are lncRNAs that regulate gene expression via miRNA targeting. Since miRNAs, and lncRNAs are instrumental gene regulatory factors in determining NSCLC diagnosis and prognosis, these regulatory pathways can lead to novel approaches in cancer therapy. Therefore, these networks propose mechanisms of actions to further study miRNAs and lncRNAs suggesting a crosstalk between miRNAs, lncRNAs, and differentially expressed genes.

Download or read book Cancer Genomics written by Hui Ling and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of microRNA (miRNA) involvement in cancer a decade ago, and the more recent findings of long non-coding RNAs in human diseases, challenged the long-standing view that RNAs without protein-coding potential are simply “junk” transcription within the human genome. These findings evidently changed the dogma that “DNA makes RNA makes protein” by showing that RNAs themselves can be essential regulators of cellular function and play key roles in cancer development. MiRNAs are evolutionarily conserved short single-stranded transcripts of 19–24 nucleotides in length. They do not code for proteins, but change the final output of protein-coding genes by regulating their transcriptional and/or translation process. Ultraconserved genes (UCGs) are non-coding RNAs with longer length (>200bp) that are transcribed from the ultraconserved genomic region. Both miRNAs and UCGs are located within cancer-associated genomic regions (CAGRs) and can act as tumor suppressors or oncogenes. In this chapter, we present principles and concepts that have been identified over the last decade with respect to our understanding of the function of non-coding RNAs, and summarize recent findings on the role of miRNAs and UCGs in cancer development. Finally, we will conclude by discussing the translational potential of this knowledge into clinical settings such as cancer diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.

Book excerpt: Simple Summary: Cancer immunotherapy mainly targets immune system components, such as immune-suppressive networks generated by cancer cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Programmed cell death ligand 1, which is a secretory immune-suppressive factor, is released by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). The TME also disrupts production of tumor-specific T cells and generates immunosuppressive leukocytes, regulatory T cells, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are effective in various cancers but only in a subset of patients. Non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), are dysregulated in cancer through transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic changes and have significant roles in cancer initiation and progression, which depends on deregulation of lncRNA expression. TAM function can be influenced by lncRNAs in various ways. However, our understanding of lncRNA dysregulation and function in cancer remains in the early stage. Abstract: Ever since RNA sequencing of whole genomes and transcriptomes became available, numerous RNA transcripts without having the classic function of encoding proteins have been discovered. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) with a length greater than 200 nucleotides were considered as “junk” in the beginning, but it has increasingly become clear that lncRNAs have crucial roles in regulating a variety of cellular mechanisms and are often deregulated in several diseases, such as cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths and has a survival rate of less than 10%. Immune cells infiltrating the tumor microenvironment (TME) have been shown to have a great effect on tumor development with macrophages being the major cell type within the TME. Macrophages can inherit an inflammatory M1 or an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Tumor-associated macrophages, which are predominantly polarized to M2, favor tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis. In this review, we aimed to describe the complex roles and functions of lncRNAs in macrophages and their influence on lung cancer development and progression through the TME.

Book The Chemical Biology of Long Noncoding RNAs

Download or read book The Chemical Biology of Long Noncoding RNAs written by Stefan Jurga and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive and detailed overview of various aspects of long non-coding RNAs. It discusses their emerging significance in molecular medicine, ranging from human cancers to cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Transcriptomic studies have demonstrated that the majority of genomes found in complex organisms are expressed in highly dynamic and cell-specific patterns, producing huge numbers of intergenic, antisense and intronic long non-protein-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Thousands of lncRNAs have been identified, and unlike mRNA, they have no protein-coding capacity. A large repertoire of ncRNAs, actively transcribed from the mammalian genome, control diverse cellular processes, both in terms of development and diseases, through a variety of gene regulatory mechanisms. IncRNAs have emerged as a new paradigm in epigenetic regulation of the genome. Given its scope, the book will be of particular interest to molecular, chemical, cell and developmental biologists, as well as specialists in translational medicine involved in disease-oriented research. It also offers a valuable resource for in silico experts seeking a deeper understanding of lncRNA expression and function through computational analysis of the NGS data.
