In the last decade, the role for noncoding RNAs in disease was clearly established, starting with microRNAs and later expanded towards long noncoding RNAs. This was also the case for T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which is a malignant blood disorder arising from oncogenic events during normal T cell development in the thymus. By studying the transcriptomic profile of protein-coding genes, several oncogenic events leading to T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) could be identified. In recent years, it became apparent that several of these oncogenes function via microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs. In this review, we give a detailed overview of the studies that describe the noncoding RNAome in T-ALL oncogenesis and normal T cell development.
在过去十年中,非编码RNA在疾病中的作用已明确确立,始于微小RNA,随后扩展到长链非编码RNA。T细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病也是如此,它是一种恶性血液疾病,由胸腺中正常T细胞发育过程中的致癌事件引起。通过研究蛋白质编码基因的转录组图谱,可以识别出导致T细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(T-ALL)的几种致癌事件。近年来,很明显这些致癌基因中有几种是通过微小RNA和长链非编码RNA发挥作用的。在这篇综述中,我们详细概述了描述T-ALL肿瘤发生和正常T细胞发育中非编码RNA组的研究。
