Exploring the influence of non-coding RNAs on NF-κB signaling pathway regulation in ulcerative colitis.

The gastrointestinal tract is chronically inflamed in ulcerative colitis (UC), which has a complicated etiology involving immunological, environmental, and genetic factors. The inflammatory response that is typical of UC is significantly regulated via the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Latest research has displayed that NF-κB signaling is controlled by three main types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs): circular RNAs (circRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs). These ncRNAs can change the expression of key genes within the NF-κB pathway by acting as molecular sponges, transcriptional regulators, and epigenetic modifiers. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the functions by which ncRNAs modulate NF-κB signaling in UC, discusses their potential as biomarkers for disease prognosis and diagnosis, and explores their therapeutic potential. Understanding the intricate interactions between ncRNAs and NF-κB signaling may provide novel insights into UC pathogenesis and targeted therapeutic strategies.

Regulation of Nuclear Factor-KappaB (NF-κB) signaling pathway by non-coding RNAs in cancer: Inhibiting or promoting carcinogenesis?

The nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) signaling pathway is considered as a potential therapeutic target in cancer therapy. It has been well established that transcription factor NF-κB is involved in regulating physiological and pathological events including inflammation, immune response and differentiation. Increasing evidences suggest that deregulated NF-κB signaling can enhance cancer cell proliferation, metastasis and also mediate radio-as well as chemo-resistance. On the contrary, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been found to modulate NF-κB signaling pathway under different settings. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can dually inhibit/induce NF-κB signaling thereby affecting the growth and migration of cancer cells. Furthermore, the response of cancer cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy may also be regulated by miRNAs. Regulation of NF-κB by miRNAs may be mediated via binding to 3/-UTR region. Interestingly, anti-tumor compounds can increase the expression of tumor-suppressor miRNAs in inhibiting NF-κB activation and the progression of cancers. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) can also effectively modulate NF-κB signaling thus affecting tumorigenesis. It is noteworthy that several studies have demonstrated that lncRNAs and circRNAs can affect miRNAs in targeting NF-κB activation. They can act as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) thereby reducing miRNA expression to induce NF-κB activation that can in turn promote cancer progression and malignancy.

Non-coding RNAs targeting NF-κB pathways in aquatic animals: A review.

Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways have a close relationship with many diseases, especially in terms of the regulation of inflammation and the immune response. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a heterogeneous subset of endogenous RNAs that directly affect cellular function in the absence of proteins or peptide products; these include microRNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), etc. Studies on the roles of ncRNAs in targeting the NF-κB pathways in aquatic animals are scarce. A few research studies have confirmed detailed regulatory mechanisms among ncRNAs and the NF-κB pathways in aquatic animals. This comprehensive review is presented concerning ncRNAs targeting the NF-κB pathway in aquatic animals and provides new insights into NF-κB pathways regulatory mechanisms of aquatic animals. The review discusses new possibilities for developing non-coding-RNA-based antiviral applications in fisheries.
