简介:摘要近年来,多项研究结果显示:微小RNAs(miRNAs)在胰腺组织、胰腺癌细胞和胰腺癌耐药细胞中具有差异性表达,且miRNAs可通过对下游靶基因的作用改变胰腺癌细胞对化疗药物敏感性。肿瘤的耐药分子机制错综复杂,在胰腺癌耐药中,miRNAs可以通过影响胰腺癌细胞中上皮-间质转化、DNA的损伤和修复、下游信号通路、非编码RNA、相关编码基因、胰腺癌干细胞等机制介导胰腺癌耐药。因此,对胰腺癌耐药机制及相关miRNAs的探讨有助于寻找新的抗耐药治疗方法,笔者通过对参与调控胰腺癌化疗药物耐药的外泌体miRNAs进行总结,为临床治疗胰腺癌提供理论支持和寻找新靶向治疗方案。
简介:摘要外泌体(exos)作为一种直径在40~150 nm之间的细胞外囊泡,在介导细胞间通讯中扮演着重要角色。新的证据表明,肿瘤细胞分泌的exos(TEXs)可通过传递微小RNAs对肿瘤微环境中的免疫细胞进行驯化,使其处于免疫抑制状态,从而为肿瘤的生长、进展和转移提供有利支持。本综述旨在对TEXs微小RNAs在介导肿瘤免疫抑制中的研究进展进行总结,从而为深入理解肿瘤微环境中TEXs介导的肿瘤细胞和免疫细胞的"crosstalk"提供参考。
简介:摘要支气管肺发育不良(bronchopulmonary dysplasia,BPD)是新生儿常见的慢性肺部疾病。其不仅影响患儿的生活质量,而且带来的并发症对患儿未来的生长发育存在一定影响,但目前仍缺乏特效的防治措施。微小RNAs(microRNAs,miRNAs)是一类细胞内源性小分子非编码RNA,近几年发现一些异常表达的miRNAs通过调控细胞凋亡途径从而参与BPD的发病过程,但其具体的致病环节和作用机制还不够系统、清晰。本文将针对BPD发病过程中参与细胞凋亡的miRNAs分子机制进行综述,为探索BPD新型诊疗方法提供一定的理论基础。

简介:AbstractCircular RNAs (circRNAs) constitute a novel class of endogenous noncoding RNAs characterized by a covalently closed structure and involved in multiple biological processes. The main biological functions and properties of circRNAs can be defined by five features: a "sponging" effect on other RNA species, post-transcriptional regulation, rolling circle translation, generation of pseudogenes, and splicing interference. Although circRNAs were first detected decades ago, the role of circRNAs and the mechanisms underlying their actions remain incompletely characterized. Recently, circRNAs were reported to play indispensable roles in regulating metabolic and signal transduction events controlling the proliferation, migration, and survival of cells. Importantly, many studies demonstrated that dysregulated circRNA expression is associated with the development of multiple diseases, including cancer. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the roles and mechanisms of circRNAs in cancer and discuss their functions as oncogenes or tumor suppressors in different tumor types.

简介:AbstractIncreasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are of vital importance for various biological processes, and dysregulation of lncRNAs is frequently associated with various diseases such as psoriasis. LncRNAs modulate gene expression at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and translational levels; however, the specific regulatory mechanisms of lncRNAs in psoriasis remain largely unexplored. This review provides an overview of recent studies investigating mechanisms and functions of lncRNAs in psoriasis, especially focusing on the role of lncRNAs in keratinocytes, T cells, and dendritic cells.
