Abstract:
The relationship between different ribonucleic acids (RNAs) and tumor immunity has been widely investigated. However, a systematic description of tumor immune-related RNAs in different tumors is still lacking. We collected the relationship of tumor immune-related RNAs from the published literature and presented them in a user-friendly interface, "ImmRNA" (http://www.immrna.cn/), to provide a resource to study immune-RNA-cancer regulatory relations. The ImmRNA contains 49 996 curated entries. Each entry includes gene symbols, gene types, target genes, downstream effects, functions, immune cells, and other information. By rearranging and reanalyzing the data, our dataset contains the following key points: (i) providing the links between RNAs and the immune in cancers, (ii) displaying the downstream effects and functions of RNAs, (iii) listing immune cells and immune pathways related to RNA function, (iv) showing the relationship between RNAs and prognostic outcomes, and (v) exhibiting the experimental methods described in the article. ImmRNA provides a valuable resource for understanding the functions of tumor immune-related RNAs. Database URL: http://www.immrna.cn/.

RNA Interference
This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...
