Long non-coding RNA-encoded micropeptides: functions, mechanisms and implications.
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are typically described as RNA transcripts exceeding 200 nucleotides in length, which do not code for proteins. Recent advancements in technology, including ribosome RNA sequencing and ribosome nascent-chain complex sequencing, have demonstrated that many lncRNAs retain small open reading frames and can potentially encode micropeptides. Emerging studies have revealed that these micropeptides, rather than lncRNAs themselves, are responsible for vital functions, including but not limited to regulating homeostasis, managing inflammation and the immune system, moderating metabolism, and influencing tumor progression. In this review, we initially outline the rapidly advancing computational analytical methods and public tools to predict and validate the potential encoding of lncRNAs. We then focus on the diverse functions of micropeptides and their underlying mechanisms in the pathogenesis of disease. This review aims to elucidate the functions of lncRNA-encoded micropeptides and explore their potential applications as therapeutic targets in cancer.
期刊介绍:
Cell Death Discovery is a multidisciplinary, international, online-only, open access journal, dedicated to publishing research at the intersection of medicine with biochemistry, pharmacology, immunology, cell biology and cell death, provided it is scientifically sound. The unrestricted access to research findings in Cell Death Discovery will foster a dynamic and highly productive dialogue between basic scientists and clinicians, as well as researchers in industry with a focus on cancer, neurobiology and inflammation research. As an official journal of the Cell Death Differentiation Association (ADMC), Cell Death Discovery will build upon the success of Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease in publishing important peer-reviewed original research, timely reviews and editorial commentary.
Cell Death Discovery is committed to increasing the reproducibility of research. To this end, in conjunction with its sister journals Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease, Cell Death Discovery provides a unique forum for scientists as well as clinicians and members of the pharmaceutical and biotechnical industry. It is committed to the rapid publication of high quality original papers that relate to these subjects, together with topical, usually solicited, reviews, editorial correspondence and occasional commentaries on controversial and scientifically informative issues.
