lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs02:39

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

9.9K
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...

siRNA - Small Interfering RNAs

18.6K
Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, are short regulatory RNA molecules that can silence genes post-transcriptionally, as well as the transcriptional level in some cases. siRNAs are important for protecting cells against viral infections and silencing transposable genetic elements.
In the cytoplasm, siRNA is processed from a double-stranded RNA, which comes from either endogenous DNA transcription or exogenous sources like a virus. This double-stranded RNA is then cleaved by the...

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs

7.7K
PIWI-interacting RNAs, or piRNAs, are the most abundant short non-coding RNAs. More than 20,000 genes have been found in humans that code for piRNAs while only 2000 genes have been found for miRNAs. piRNAs can act at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and have a vital role in silencing transposable elements present in germ cells. They are also involved in epigenetic silencing and activation. Previously, they were thought to function only in germ cells but new evidence suggests...

Nursing Code of Ethics01:29

Nursing Code of Ethics

4.5K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Epigenetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is crucial for development, with its subunit EZH2 targeted by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs).
  • LncRNAs are emerging epigenetic regulators with high tissue-specificity.
  • The tissue-specific profile of EZH2-interacting lncRNAs remains largely unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To globally screen and identify EZH2-binding lncRNAs across various human tissues.
  • To characterize the tissue distribution and regulatory mechanisms of these lncRNA-protein interactions.
  • To provide a comprehensive profile of EZH2-interacting lncRNAs in different cellular contexts.

Main Methods:

  • RNA immunoprecipitation followed by RNA sequencing (RIP-Seq) was employed.
  • Global screening was conducted across ten different tissue types.
  • Bioinformatic analysis was used to identify and categorize EZH2-binding lncRNAs.

Main Results:

  • 1328 EZH2-binding lncRNAs were identified.
  • 470 lncRNAs were shared across multiple tissues, while 858 were tissue-specific.
  • Identified lncRNAs included intergenic, antisense, intron-related, and promoter-related types, suggesting diverse regulatory roles.
  • A specific RNA motif was found in some EZH2-binding lncRNAs.
  • Novel EZH2-lncRNA interactions were discovered, alongside known ones like Malat1.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides the first comprehensive tissue-wide profiling of EZH2-interacting lncRNAs.
  • The findings highlight the significant and diverse roles of lncRNAs in regulating EZH2 function across different tissues.
  • These interactions are suggested to be critical for cellular differentiation and maturation processes.
