Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), especially microRNAs (miRNAs) and long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), are essential regulators of processes, such as the cell cycle and apoptosis. In addition to interacting with intracellular complexes and participating in diverse molecular pathways, ncRNAs can be used as clinical diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for fighting cancer. Studying ncRNA gene clusters is crucial for understanding their role in cancer and developing new treatments. LOC124905135 is a protein-coding gene encoding a collagen alpha-1(III) chain-like protein, and also acts as a gene for several ncRNAs, including miR-3619, PRR34 antisense RNA 1 (PRR34-AS1), PRR34, long intergenic ncRNA 2939 (LINC02939), LOC112268288, and MIRLET7BHG. It also serves as a host gene for three miRNAs (hsa-let7-A3, hsa-miR-4763, and hsa-let-7b). Notably, the ncRNAs derived from this particular genomic region significantly affect various cell functions, including the cell cycle and apoptosis. This cluster of ncRNAs is dysregulated in several types of cancer, exhibiting mutations, alterations in copy number, and being subject to DNA methylation and histone modification. In summary, the ncRNAs derived from the LOC124905135 cluster could be used as targets for diagnosis, therapy monitoring, and drug discovery in human cancers.
非编码RNA(ncRNA),尤其是微小RNA(miRNA)和长链非编码RNA(lncRNA),是细胞周期和细胞凋亡等过程的重要调节因子。除了与细胞内复合物相互作用并参与多种分子途径外,ncRNA还可用作临床诊断生物标志物和抗癌治疗靶点。研究ncRNA基因簇对于了解它们在癌症中的作用以及开发新的治疗方法至关重要。LOC124905135是一个蛋白质编码基因,编码一种胶原α-1(III)链样蛋白,同时也作为几种ncRNA的基因,包括miR-3619、PRR34反义RNA 1(PRR34-AS1)、PRR34、长链基因间ncRNA 2939(LINC02939)、LOC112268288和MIRLET7BHG。它还作为三种miRNA(hsa-let7-A3、hsa-miR-4763和hsa-let-7b)的宿主基因。值得注意的是,源自该特定基因组区域的ncRNA显著影响各种细胞功能,包括细胞周期和细胞凋亡。这一ncRNA簇在几种类型的癌症中表达失调,表现出突变、拷贝数改变,并受到DNA甲基化和组蛋白修饰的影响。总之,源自LOC124905135簇的ncRNA可用作人类癌症诊断、治疗监测和药物发现的靶点。
