Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nThe collection of studies provided here primarily investigates the roles of various non‐coding RNAs—especially long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs)—in modulating key cellular processes such as inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and cellular metabolism in contexts including ischemic stroke, neurodegeneration, cardiac dysfunction, and metabolic disorders. For example, one study demonstrated that the lncRNA Malat1 acted through a competitive endogenous (ceRNA) mechanism with miR-181c-5p to regulate HMGB1 and thereby influence post-stroke inflammatory injury, while another revealed that lncRNA SNHG6 modulated neuronal apoptosis via the miR-181c-5p/BIM axis."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nA substantial number of the abstracts focus on miR-181c-5p as a critical modulator in multiple disease and stress contexts. These studies report that miR-181c-5p influences neurite and synapse development, regulates key signaling pathways by targeting transcripts such as HMGB1, cyclin B1, FoxO1, and IDH1, and even modulates mitochondrial function in cardiomyocytes. Upstream regulatory molecules—including lncRNAs like GAS5, protein factors such as PACT and AGO2, and even sex hormones like estradiol—fine-tune its activity, thereby impacting cellular responses in stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, obesity-induced cardiac dysfunction, renal injury, and bone loss."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "3", "end_ref": "12"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nOther investigations in this series extend these findings by exploring how lncRNAs such as GAS5 facilitate macrophage autophagy through sponging miRNAs including miR-181c-5p, and how post-transcriptional regulators (e.g., AGO2 phosphorylation driven by estradiol) can control miR-181c’s subcellular localization and subsequent effects on mitochondrial function. Despite the extensive elucidation of these non-coding RNA networks, none of the provided abstracts address or characterize the function of SNORD79.
