Tumor immunotherapy resistance is a crucial factor hindering the efficacy of tumor treatments, which can be largely attributed to the immunosuppressive properties of tumor microenvironment. Current studies have revealed that cancer-derived ncRNAs are involved in the formation of tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME) through multiple ways. They not only promote the expression of immune checkpoint ligands (e.g., PD-L1, CD47, Gal-9, and CD276) on cancer cell surfaces, but also enhance the secretion of immunosuppressive cytokines (e.g., TGF-β, IL-6, IL-10, VEGF, and chemokines). Cancer-derived ncRNAs could also be transferred into surrounding immune-related cells through extracellular vesicles, thereby inhibiting the cytotoxicity of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells and NK cells, restraining the DC-mediated antigen presentation, inducing the immunosuppressive phenotype transformation of TAMs and CAFs, and enhancing the immunosuppressive functions of Tregs and MDSCs. Herein, we summarize the roles of cancer-derived ncRNAs in regulating TIME formation and further explore their potential applications as prognostic biomarkers and immunotherapeutic targets, which will help us to address the TIME-mediated immunotherapy resistance in the future.

Although several computational tools and molecular assays have been used to predict and validate the interaction of miRNAs with circRNAs, the actual validation of functional in vivo interactions needs careful consideration of molecular experiments with specific controls. As extensive research is being performed on circRNA, many questions arise on the functional significance of circRNA-miRNA interactions.

Much of the literature in this area has considered individual members of this family to act primarily either as regulators of the cell cycle, the context in which CDKs were first discovered, or as regulators of transcription. Until recently, CDK7 was the only clear example of a CDK that functions in both processes. However, new data points to several \"cell-cycle\" CDKs having important roles in transcription and some \"transcriptional\" CDKs having cell cycle-related targets. For example, novel functions in transcription have been demonstrated for the archetypal cell cycle regulator CDK1. The increasing evidence of the overlap between these two CDK types suggests that they might play a critical role in coordinating the two processes. Here we review the canonical functions of cell-cycle and transcriptional CDKs, and provide an update on how these kinases collaborate to perform important cellular functions. We also provide a brief overview of how dysregulation of CDKs contributes to carcinogenesis, and possible treatment avenues.

One of the two catalytically active ADAR enzymes, ADAR1, plays a major role in innate immune responses by suppression of RNA sensing pathways which are orchestrated through the ADAR1-dsRNA-MDA5 axis. Unedited immunogenic dsRNA substrates are potent ligands for the cellular sensor MDA5. Upon activation, MDA5 leads to the induction of interferons and expression of hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes with potent antiviral activity. In this way, ADAR1 acts as a gatekeeper of the RNA sensing pathway by striking a fine balance between innate antiviral responses and prevention of autoimmunity. Reduced editing of immunogenic dsRNA by ADAR1 is strongly linked to the development of common autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In viral infections, ADAR1 exhibits both antiviral and proviral effects. This is modulated by both editing-dependent and editing-independent functions, such as PKR antagonism. Several A-to-I RNA editing events have been identified in viruses, including in the insidious viral pathogen, SARS-CoV-2 which regulates viral fitness and infectivity, and could play a role in shaping viral evolution. Furthermore, ADAR1 is an attractive target for immuno-oncology therapy. Overexpression of ADAR1 and increased dsRNA editing have been observed in several human cancers. Silencing ADAR1, especially in cancers that are refractory to immune checkpoint inhibitors, is a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer immunotherapy in conjunction with epigenetic therapy. The mechanistic understanding of dsRNA editing by ADAR1 and dsRNA sensing by MDA5 and PKR holds great potential for therapeutic applications.

The protein-coding genes are first transcribed as pre-mRNAs in the nucleus and undergo a series of RNA processing steps before being transported into the cytoplasm for translation. During RNA processing, most human genes (>95%) undergo alternative splicing to generate multiple mRNA isoforms from a single gene, which effectively diversifies the genome complexity. Since the splicing of most genes occurs co-transcriptionally, the regulation layers of gene expression often show functional interactions with each other. In this review, we provide a brief overview of alternative splicing regulation in three different layers (controlled by the splicing machinery, transcription process, and chromatin structure), emphasizing the regulatory roles of epigenetic modifications and the crosstalk between these layers. Specifically, we categorize the major effects of the epigenetic modifications on alternative splicing into three different types: by affecting transcription rate, splicing factor recruitment, or the expression/activity of splicing factor. The dysregulation of epigenetics and splicing are extremely common in cancer, we also discuss the potential mechanisms of how epigenetic changes can lead to splicing dysregulation and their functional consequences. We aim to provide insights into the complicated regulation of different gene expression layers, which will shed light on the novel approaches to modulate disease-related splicing dysregulation.
