Multiple regulatory roles of the transfer RNA-derived small RNAs in cancers
摘要
Abstract
With the development of sequencing technology
transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) have received extensive attention as a new type of small noncoding RNAs. Based on the differences in the cleavage sites of nucleases on tRNAs
tsRNAs can be divided into two categories
tRNA halves (tiRNAs) and tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs)
each with specific subcellular localizations. Additionally
the biogenesis of tsRNAs is tissue-specific and can be regulated by tRNA modifications. In this review
we first elaborated on the classification and biogenesis of tsRNAs. After summarizing the latest mechanisms of tsRNAs
including transcriptional gene silencing
post-transcriptional gene silencing
nascent RNA silencing
translation regulation
rRNA regulation
and reverse transcription regulation
we explored the representative biological functions of tsRNAs in tumors. Furthermore
this review summarized the clinical value of tsRNAs in cancers
thus providing theoretical support for their potential as novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
