Summary
Long non-coding RNA CRNDE (Colorectal Neoplasia Differentially Expressed) is overexpressed in cancers, promoting tumor growth and spread. This review explores its oncogenic role and potential clinical applications in cancer therapy.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Molecular Biology
- Genetics
Background:
- Aberrant overexpression of long non-coding RNA CRNDE (Colorectal Neoplasia Differentially Expressed) is a hallmark of various human cancers.
- CRNDE overexpression correlates with advanced clinicopathological features and poor patient prognosis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a comprehensive overview of the oncogenic role of CRNDE in human cancers.
- To explore the potential clinical applications of CRNDE as a therapeutic target or biomarker.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of studies investigating CRNDE expression and function in cancer.
- Analysis of CRNDE's mechanisms in promoting cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis suppression.
Main Results:
- CRNDE actively promotes cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.
- CRNDE functions through complex mechanisms to suppress apoptosis, contributing to cancer initiation and development.
Conclusions:
- CRNDE plays a significant oncogenic role in various human cancers.
- Targeting CRNDE presents a promising avenue for novel cancer therapies and diagnostic strategies.

11.5K
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

10.0K
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...

01:32RNA Splicing
60.7K
Splicing is the process by which eukaryotic RNA is edited before its translation into protein. The RNA strand transcribed from eukaryotic DNA is called the primary transcript. The primary transcripts that become mRNAs are called precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Eukaryotic pre-mRNA contains alternating sequences of exons and introns. Exons are nucleotide sequences that code for proteins, whereas introns are the non-coding regions. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are bonded...

02:53Ribosomal RNA Synthesis
14.9K
Ribosome synthesis is a highly complex and coordinated process involving more than 200 assembly factors. The synthesis and processing of ribosomal components occurs not only in the nucleolus but also in the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...

The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...
