tiRNA-Gln-CTG is Involved in the Regulation of Trophoblast Cell Function in Pre-eclampsia and Serves as a Potent Biomarker by Yixiao Wang, Xiaohong Ji, Hengmei Shi, Sicong Liu, Hong Yu

“…In vitro experiments revealed that tiRNA-Gln-CTG influences the proliferation, cycling, migration, and invasion of HTR-8/SVneo cells, possibly by targeting the 3′UTR region of thrombospondin-2 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) for degradation. Extracellular vesicle (EV) carriers may mediate the level of tiRNA-Gln-CTG in the circulation. …”

Molecular Crosstalking among Noncoding RNAs: A New Network Layer of Genome Regulation in Cancer by Marco Ragusa, Cristina Barbagallo, Duilia Brex, Angela Caponnetto, Matilde Cirnigliaro, Rosalia Battaglia, Davide Barbagallo, Cinzia Di Pietro, Michele Purrello

“…However, recent evidence has shown the existence of an unexpected interplay among ncRNAs that strongly influences cancer development and progression. ncRNAs can interact with and regulate each other through various molecular mechanisms generating a complex network including different species of RNAs (e.g., mRNAs, miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs). Such a hidden network of RNA-RNA competitive interactions pervades and modulates the physiological functioning of canonical protein-coding pathways involved in proliferation, differentiation, and metastasis in cancer. …”
