Noncoding RNAs play a pivotal role in the progression of cardiovascular diseases, but their relationship with CAVD remains unclear. Sequencing data revealed differential expression of many noncoding RNAs in normal and calcified aortic valves, with significant differences in circHIPK3 and miR-182-5p expression. Overexpression of circHIPK3 ameliorated aortic valve lesions in a CAVD mouse model. In vitro experiments demonstrated that circHIPK3 inhibits the osteogenic response of aortic valve interstitial cells. Mechanistically, DEAD-box helicase 5 (DDX5) recruits methyltransferase 3 (METTL3) to promote the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of circHIPK3. Furthermore, m6A-modified circHIPK3 increases the stability of Kremen1 (Krm1) mRNA, and Krm1 is a negative regulator of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Additionally, miR-182-5p suppresses the expression of Dickkopf2 (Dkk2), the ligand of Krm1, and attenuates the Krm1-mediated inhibition of Wnt signaling. Activation of the Wnt signaling pathway significantly contributes to the promotion of aortic valve calcification. Our study describes the role of the Krm1-Dkk2 axis in inhibiting Wnt signaling in aortic valves and suggests that noncoding RNAs are upstream regulators of this process. Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD, a common heart condition) currently has no effective treatments. This research aimed to examine the role of non-coding RNAs (molecules that control gene activity) in CAVD, particularly circHIPK3 and miR-182-5p. Experiments were conducted on human heart valve cells and mice, showing that circHIPK3 can prevent heart valve hardening, while miR-182-5p can trigger a process that encourages hardening. The research also discovered a protein, Krm1, that can stop this hardening process. These results suggest that focusing on these non-coding RNAs and proteins could offer a new way to treat CAVD. However, more research is needed to fully comprehend these processes and their potential treatment implications.

CircRNAs are predominantly generated through a back-splicing process within the nucleus. CircRNAs have long been considered non-coding RNAs seemingly devoid of protein-coding potential. However, many recent studies have challenged this idea and have provided substantial evidence that a subset of circRNAs can associate with polysomes and indeed be translated. Therefore, in this review, we primarily highlight the 5’ cap-independent internal initiation of translation that occurs on circular RNAs. Several molecular features of circRNAs, including the internal ribosome entry site, N6-methyladenosine modification, and the exon junction complex deposited around the back-splicing junction after back-splicing event, play pivotal roles in their efficient internal translation. We also propose a possible relationship between the translatability of circRNAs and their stability, with a focus on nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and nonstop decay, both of which are well-characterized mRNA surveillance mechanisms. An in-depth understanding of circRNA translation will reshape and expand our current knowledge of proteomics. This research delves into the intricate realm of circular RNAs (circRNAs), a kind of RNA molecule that forms a covalently closed circular structure, making it more stable than its linear counterparts. Despite being plentiful in cells, the role of circRNAs is largely a mystery. The researchers provide a summary of the various ways circRNAs are created and outline the different functions they can have. They also explore the molecular specifics of how circRNAs are translated and consider the potential interaction between this translation and their stability. The research is a review, summarizing and analyzing existing studies on the subject and highlighting the role and potential impact of circRNAs in the regulation of gene expression.

Due to their preferential location in gene-rich regions, especially in introns and 3′ UTRs, Alu elements can exert regulatory effects on the expression of both host and neighboring genes. When two Alu elements with inverse orientations are positioned in close proximity, their transcription results in the generation of distinct double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs), known as inverted Alu repeats (IRAlus). IRAlus are key immunogenic self-dsRNAs and post-transcriptional cis-regulatory elements that play a role in circular RNA biogenesis, as well as RNA transport and stability. Recently, IRAlus dsRNAs have emerged as regulators of transcription and activators of Z-DNA-binding proteins. The formation and activity of IRAlus can be modulated through RNA editing and interactions with RNA-binding proteins, and misregulation of IRAlus has been implicated in several immune-associated disorders. In this review, we summarize the emerging functions of IRAlus dsRNAs, the regulatory mechanisms governing IRAlus activity, and their relevance in the pathogenesis of human diseases. Understanding the role of Alu elements—short DNA sequences scattered throughout our genome—is crucial for grasping human genetics. These elements can affect how our genes function, and sometimes, their misregulation causes diseases. However, there’s still much we don’t know about their impact on gene regulation and cell signaling, including innate immune responses. Lee et al. summarized how Alu elements interact with our immune system by generating specific structures similar to ones from viruses. The authors suggest that further understanding of biological processes regulated by Alu elements could lead to advancements in the development of potential treatment for diseases linked to immune system dysfunction. Future research could explore how to manipulate these elements to benefit human health.

Extensive research has underscored the fundamental role of miRNAs in orchestrating eukaryotic development, with disruptions in miRNA biogenesis resulting in early lethality. Moreover, perturbations in miRNA function have been implicated in the aging process, particularly in model organisms such as nematodes and flies. miRNAs tend to be clustered in vertebrate genomes, finely modulating an array of biological pathways through clustering within a single transcript. Although extensive research of their developmental roles has been conducted, the potential implications of miRNA clusters in regulating aging remain largely unclear. In this review, we use the Mir-23-27-24 cluster as a paradigm, shedding light on the nuanced physiological functions of miRNA clusters during embryonic development and exploring their potential involvement in the aging process. Moreover, we advocate further research into the intricate interplay among miRNA clusters, particularly the Mir-23-27-24 cluster, in shaping the regulatory landscape of aging. MicroRNAs significantly influence everything from growth to aging. However, the specific roles of certain miRNA clusters, like Mir-23-27-24, in aging are less understood.

It’s a comprehensive review of how the Mir-23-27-24 cluster affects vital biological processes and aging, combining existing research to fill knowledge gaps. The Mir-23-27-24 cluster includes miRNAs vital in development stages and linked to various diseases, including cancer.

The evolution of sequencing techniques has resulted in significant insights into approaches for transcriptome studies. Organisms utilize RNA to govern cellular systems, and a heterogeneous class of RNAs is involved in regulatory functions. In particular, regulatory RNAs are increasingly recognized to participate in intricately functioning machinery across almost all levels of biological systems. These systems include those mediating chromatin arrangement, transcription, suborganelle stabilization, and posttranscriptional modifications. Any class of RNA exhibiting regulatory activity can be termed a class of regulatory RNA and is typically represented by noncoding RNAs, which constitute a substantial portion of the genome. These RNAs function based on the principle of structural changes through cis and/or trans regulation to facilitate mutual RNA‒RNA, RNA‒DNA, and RNA‒protein interactions. It has not been clearly elucidated whether regulatory RNAs identified through deep sequencing actually function in the anticipated mechanisms. This review addresses the dominant properties of regulatory RNAs at various layers of the cellular machinery and covers regulatory activities, structural dynamics, modifications, associated molecules, and further challenges related to therapeutics and deep learning. Regulatory RNAs, such as long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs, RNAs that do not code for proteins), microRNAs (miRNAs, small RNAs that regulate gene expression), and circular RNAs (circRNAs, RNAs that form a covalently closed continuous loop), are important in controlling gene expression. The exact ways and roles of these RNAs are not completely known. This study by Joo et al. reviews current knowledge on regulatory RNAs, focusing on their structure and function in cell parts. The authors talk about the different methods used to study these RNAs, including RNA-Chromatin, RNA-Protein, and RNA structure sequencing. They also emphasize the role of RNA modifications in controlling gene expression and the potential of deep learning (a type of machine learning) in predicting RNA functions.

Advances in next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics technologies have enabled the quick identification and prediction of tumor-specific neoantigens; however, only a small fraction of predicted neoantigens are immunogenic. To improve the predictability of immunogenic neoantigens, we developed the in silico neoantigen prediction workflows VACINUSpMHC and VACINUSTCR: VACINUSpMHC incorporates physical binding between peptides and MHCs (pMHCs), and VACINUSTCR integrates T cell reactivity to the pMHC complex through deep learning-based pairing with T cell receptors (TCRs) of putative tumor-reactive CD8 tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). We then validated our neoantigen prediction workflows both in vitro and in vivo in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and in a B16F10 mouse melanoma model. The predictive abilities of VACINUSpMHC and VACINUSTCR were confirmed in a validation cohort of 8 patients with HCC. Of a total of 118 neoantigen candidates predicted by VACINUSpMHC, 48 peptides were ultimately selected using VACINUSTCR. In vitro validation revealed that among the 48 predicted neoantigen candidates, 13 peptides were immunogenic. Assessment of the antitumor efficacy of the candidate neoepitopes using a VACINUSTCR in vivo mouse model suggested that vaccination with the predicted neoepitopes induced neoantigen-specific T cell responses and enabled the trafficking of neoantigen-specific CD8 + T cell clones into the tumor tissue, leading to tumor suppression. This study showed that the prediction of immunogenic neoantigens can be improved by integrating a tumor-reactive TIL TCR-pMHC ternary complex. Cancer scientists have created a new way to identify and choose neoantigens (new proteins on cancer cells) for use in cancer vaccines. The research, led by Woong-Yang Park, included 33 patients with different cancer types. The scientists used a mix of computer-based prediction techniques and lab-based tests to find the most effective neoantigens. The results showed that the new technique, named VACINUS, was better at predicting effective neoantigens than older methods. The scientists concluded that the VACINUS technique could improve the immune response of predicted neoantigens, making them better at activating an immune reaction against cancer cells. This could result in the creation of more effective cancer vaccines in the future.
