Progress of research into circular RNAs in urinary neoplasms.

ABSTRACT: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a large class of endogenous RNA that form a covalently closed continuous loop without 5' or 3' tails and are diffusely expressed in mammalian cells. Through the development of high-throughput sequencing, microarray, and bioinformatics analyses, recent studies have shown that the expression of circRNAs is dysregulated in human tumor tissues and cells, as well as in the blood of patients, and closely correlates with the development of tumors. circRNAs can regulate the progression of tumors through various mechanisms. An increasing number of studies have shown that circRNAs may play critical roles in the early diagnosis, targeted therapy, and prognostic prediction of cancer as biomarkers or therapeutic targets. This review briefly describes the definitions and functions of circRNAs, and the main content includes the most recent progress in research into their function, regulation, and clinical relevance to bladder, renal, and prostate cancers. We also provide some novel ideas regarding the treatment of these diseases.

Research Progress of Circular RNA in Gastrointestinal Tumors.

Project description:circular RNA (circRNA) is a closed ring structure formed by cyclic covalent bonds connecting the 5'-end and 3'-end of pre-mRNA. circRNA is widely distributed in eukaryotic cells. Recent studies have shown that circRNA is involved in the pathogenesis and development of multiple types of diseases, including tumors. circRNA is specifically expressed in tissues. And the stability of circRNA is higher than that of linear RNA, which can play biological roles through sponge adsorption of miRNA, interaction with RNA binding protein, regulation of gene transcription, the mRNA and protein translation brake, and translation of protein and peptides. These characteristics render circRNAs as biomarkers and therapeutic targets of tumors. Gastrointestinal tumors are common malignancies worldwide, which seriously threaten human health. In this review, we summarize the generation and biological characteristics of circRNA, molecular regulation mechanism and related effects of circRNA in gastrointestinal tumors.

Circular RNA profile of parathyroid neoplasms: analysis of co-expression networks of circular RNAs and mRNAs.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a recently identified class of non-coding RNAs that participate in multiple biological processes and tumour progression. However, circRNA expression pattern in parathyroid neoplasms remains unknown. The circRNA profile of 6 parathyroid carcinomas (PCs), 6 parathyroid adenomas (PAs) and 4 normal parathyroid tissues was assessed by a microarray. Bioinformatic analyses were performed to investigate potential core circRNAs via co-expression network. CircRNA and corresponding mRNA expression were validated in a cohort of parathyroid neoplasms by RT-qPCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Compared to normal parathyroid, 5310 and 1055 circRNAs were differentially expressed in PC and PA tissues, respectively. The differential expression of 4 circRNAs (hsa_circRNA_0035563 (p = 0.006), hsa_circRNA_0017545 (p = 0.009), hsa_circRNA_0001687 (p = 0.005) and hsa_circRNA_0075005 (p = 0.001)) and 4 mRNAs (MYC, FSCN1, ANXA2 and AKR1C3) between PC and PA tissues were confirmed by RT-qPCR. In addition, high expression of hsa_circ_0035563 was related to CDC73 mutations (p = 0.022) and recurrence in PC patients (p = 0.042). Furthermore, hsa_circ_0075005 helped distinguish PCs from benign lesions using FISH, and the area under the curve was 0.779 (p = 0.013). Our findings describe the circRNA profile of PC for the first time and suggest that circRNAs and mRNAs interact in parathyroid tumourigenesis. This study demonstrates that hsa_circ_0075005 and MYC mRNA may be used for the differential diagnosis of PC and PA. The expression levels of hsa_circ_0035563 are related to CDC73 mutations and recurrence in malignancy, highlighting the significance of this parameter in prognosis of PC patients.

Noncoding RNAs in gastric cancer: Research progress and prospects.

Project description:Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have attracted much attention in cancer research field. They are involved in cellular development, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. The dysregulation of ncRNAs has been reported in tumor initiation, progression, invasion and metastasis in various cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). In the past few years, an accumulating body of evidence has deepened our understanding of ncRNAs, and several emerging ncRNAs have been identified, such as PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs). The competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks include mRNAs, microRNAs, long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) and circRNAs, which play critical roles in the tumorigenesis of GC. This review summarizes the recent hotspots of ncRNAs involved in GC pathobiology and their potential applications in GC. Finally, we briefly discuss the advances in the ceRNA network in GC.

Circular DNA tumor viruses make circular RNAs.

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) cause ?2% of all human cancers. RNase R-resistant RNA sequencing revealed that both gammaherpesviruses encode multiple, uniquely stable, circular RNAs (circRNA). EBV abundantly expressed both exon-only and exon-intron circRNAs from the BamHI A rightward transcript (BART) locus (circBARTs) formed from a spliced BART transcript and excluding the EBV miRNA region. The circBARTs were expressed in all verified EBV latency types, including EBV-positive posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease, Burkitt lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and AIDS-associated lymphoma tissues and cell lines. Only cells infected with the B95-8 EBV strain, with a 12-kb BART locus deletion, were negative for EBV circBARTs. Less abundant levels of EBV circRNAs originating from LMP2- and BHLF1-encoding genes were also identified. The circRNA sequencing of KSHV-infected primary effusion lymphoma cells revealed a KSHV-encoded circRNA from the vIRF4 locus (circvIRF4) that was constitutively expressed. In addition, KSHV polyadenylated nuclear (PAN) RNA locus generated a swarm (>100) of multiply backspliced, low-abundance RNase R-resistant circRNAs originating in both sense and antisense directions consistent with a novel hyperbacksplicing mechanism. In EBV and KSHV coinfected cells, exon-only EBV circBARTs were located more in the cytoplasm, whereas the intron-retaining circBARTs were found in the nuclear fraction. KSHV circvIRF4 and circPANs were detected in both nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions. Among viral circRNAs tested, none were found in polysome fractions from KSHV-EBV coinfected BC1 cells, although low-abundance protein translation from viral circRNAs could not be excluded. The circRNAs are a new class of viral transcripts expressed in gammaherpesvirus-related tumors that might contribute to viral oncogenesis.

Lung neuroendocrine neoplasms: recent progress and persistent challenges.

Project description:This review summarizes key recent developments relevant to the pathologic diagnosis of lung neuroendocrine neoplasms, including carcinoids, small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC). Covered are recent insights into the biological subtypes within each main tumor type, progress in pathological diagnosis and immunohistochemical markers, and persistent challenging areas. Highlighted topics include highly proliferative carcinoids and their distinction from small cell and large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs), the evolving role of Ki67, the update on the differential diagnosis of NEC to include thoracic SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumors, the recent data on SCLC transcriptional subtypes with the emergence of POU2F3 as a novel marker for the diagnosis of SCLC with low/negative expression of standard neuroendocrine markers, and the update on the diagnosis of LCNEC, particularly in biopsies. There has been remarkable recent progress in the understanding of the genetic and expression-based profiles within each type of lung neuroendocrine neoplasm, and it is hoped that these insights will enable the development of novel diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers to aid in the pathologic assessment of these tumors in the future.

Circular RNAs and Bladder Cancer

Project description:Abstract Bladder cancer (BC) is the most common urinary system malignancy and is a serious threat to human health. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are members of a newly defined class of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) that can regulate gene expression at the transcriptional or posttranscriptional level. Studies have shown that circRNAs are related to the clinicopathological characteristics, prognosis, and chemosensitivity of BC, and basic research has further confirmed that changes in the expression of circRNAs in BC are closely related to various tumor biological functions. CircRNAs promote tumor development by interacting with miRNAs to regulate transcription factors and both classical and nonclassical tumor signaling pathways. The nonclassical signaling pathways are related to cell cycle progression, epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), extracellular matrix maintenance, and tumor stem cell maintenance. In this article, the relationships between circRNAs and the clinical characteristics of BC are reviewed, and the molecular mechanisms by which circRNAs promote tumor development are explored.

Long Noncoding RNAs and Circular RNAs in Autoimmune Diseases.

Project description:Immune responses are essential for the clearance of pathogens and the repair of injured tissues; however, if these responses are not properly controlled, autoimmune diseases can occur. Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are a family of disorders characterized by the body's immune response being directed against its own tissues, with consequent chronic inflammation and tissue damage. Despite enormous efforts to identify new drug targets and develop new therapies to prevent and ameliorate AD symptoms, no definitive solutions are available today. Additionally, while substantial progress has been made in drug development for some ADs, most treatments only ameliorate symptoms and, in general, ADs are still incurable. Hundreds of genetic loci have been identified and associated with ADs by genome-wide association studies. However, the whole list of molecular factors that contribute to AD pathogenesis is still unknown. Noncoding (nc)RNAs, such as microRNAs, circular (circ)RNAs, and long noncoding (lnc)RNAs, regulate gene expression at different levels in various diseases, including ADs, and serve as potential drug targets as well as biomarkers for disease progression and response to therapy. In this review, we will focus on the potential roles and genetic regulation of ncRNA in four autoimmune diseases-systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Detecting circular RNAs: bioinformatic and experimental challenges.

Project description:The pervasive expression of circular RNAs (circRNAs) is a recently discovered feature of gene expression in highly diverged eukaryotes. Numerous algorithms that are used to detect genome-wide circRNA expression from RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data have been developed in the past few years, but there is little overlap in their predictions and no clear gold-standard method to assess the accuracy of these algorithms. We review sources of experimental and bioinformatic biases that complicate the accurate discovery of circRNAs and discuss statistical approaches to address these biases. We conclude with a discussion of the current experimental progress on the topic.

Roles of Long Noncoding RNAs and Circular RNAs in Translation.

Project description:Most of the eukaryotic genome is pervasively transcribed, yielding hundreds to thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), some of which are well conserved during evolution. Functions have been described for a few lncRNAs and circRNAs but remain elusive for most. Both classes of RNAs play regulatory roles in translation by interacting with messenger RNAs (mRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), or mRNA-binding proteins (RBPs), thereby modulating translation in trans Moreover, although initially defined as noncoding, a number of lncRNAs and circRNAs have recently been reported to contain functional open reading frames (ORFs). Here, we review current understanding of the roles played by lncRNAs and circRNAs in protein synthesis and discuss challenges and open questions in the field.

Circular RNAs-The Road Less Traveled.

Project description:Circular RNAs are the most recent addition in the non-coding RNA family, which has started to gain recognition after a decade of obscurity. The first couple of reports that emerged at the beginning of this decade and the amount of evidence that has accumulated thereafter has, however, encouraged RNA researchers to navigate further in the quest for the exploration of circular RNAs. The joining of 5' and 3' ends of RNA molecules through backsplicing forms circular RNAs during co-transcriptional or post-transcriptional processes. These molecules are capable of effectively sponging microRNAs, thereby regulating the cellular processes, as evidenced by numerous animal and plant systems. Preliminary studies have shown that circular RNA has an imperative role in transcriptional regulation and protein translation, and it also has significant therapeutic potential. The high stability of circular RNA is rendered by its closed ends; they are nevertheless prone to degradation by circulating endonucleases in serum or exosomes or by microRNA-mediated cleavage due to their high complementarity. However, the identification of circular RNAs involves diverse methodologies and the delineation of its possible role and mechanism in the regulation of cellular and molecular architecture has provided a new direction for the continuous research into circular RNA. In this review, we discuss the possible mechanism of circular RNA biogenesis, its structure, properties, degradation, and the growing amount of evidence regarding the detection methods and its role in animal and plant systems.
