lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

10.2K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Replicative Cell Senescence

4.6K
Replicative cell senescence is a property of cells that allows them to divide a finite number of times throughout the organism's lifespan while preventing excessive proliferation. Replicative senescence is associated with the gradual loss of the telomere — short, repetitive DNA sequences found at the end of the chromosomes. Telomeres are bound by a group of proteins to form a protective cap on the ends of chromosomes. Embryonic stem cells express telomerase — an enzyme that adds...

Regulation of Expression Occurs at Multiple Steps

27.2K
Gene expression can be regulated at almost every step from gene to protein. Transcription is the step that is most commonly regulated. This involves the binding of proteins to short regulatory sequences on the DNA. This association can either promote or inhibit the transcription of a gene associated with the respective sequence.
Transcription results in the generation of precursor (pre-mRNA) that consists of both exons and introns, which needs further processing before being translated to a...

Regulation of Expression at Multiple Steps

1.5K
The gene expression in cells is regulated at different stages: (i) transcription, (ii) RNA processing, (iii) RNA localization, and (iv) translation. Transcriptional regulation is mediated by regulatory proteins such as transcription factors, activators, or repressors—these control gene expression by initiating or inhibiting the transcription of genes. Once a precursor or pre-mRNA is produced, it undergoes post-transcriptional modification, including 5' capping, splicing, and the...

Summary

Cellular senescence, a process linked to aging, is regulated by noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). This review details how ncRNAs, including microRNAs and lncRNAs, modulate senescence pathways and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).

Area of Science:

  • Cellular Biology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Aging Research

Background:

  • Cellular senescence, characterized by irreversible growth arrest, accumulates with age and impacts tissue homeostasis.
  • Senescence is triggered by various stressors and involves complex regulatory networks, including protein and noncoding RNA (ncRNA) components.
  • Noncoding RNAs, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), are increasingly recognized for their roles in controlling senescence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of regulatory ncRNAs involved in modulating cellular senescence.
  • To highlight the specific ncRNAs that promote or repress the senescent phenotype.
  • To discuss the involvement of ncRNAs in key senescence pathways and associated phenomena like SASP.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies identifying and characterizing ncRNAs in cellular senescence.
  • Analysis of ncRNA interactions within major senescence signaling pathways (p53/p21 and pRB/p16).
  • Examination of ncRNA roles in senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and other senescence-associated events.

Main Results:

  • Numerous ncRNAs, including specific miRNAs and lncRNAs, have been identified as critical regulators of senescence.
  • These ncRNAs influence the activation and maintenance of senescence through interactions with key protein regulators like p53 and pRB.
  • ncRNAs play significant roles in orchestrating the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and other cellular responses to senescence.

Conclusions:

  • Noncoding RNAs are pivotal regulators of cellular senescence, impacting fundamental aging processes.
  • A comprehensive understanding of ncRNA involvement in senescence is crucial for deciphering aging and age-related diseases.
  • Targeting ncRNAs may offer novel therapeutic strategies for conditions associated with cellular senescence.
