Lecture 34 - Non-coding RNA and Disease Flashcards
1
Q
ncRNAs involved in?
A
pathogenesis (development and progression of disease), therapeutics (treatment of disease) and biomarkers (diagnosis and prognosis of disease)
2
Q
small ncRNA types?
A
tRNA (protein translation), snoRNA (modify rRNA and tRNA - ribosome biogenesis), miRNA (repres translation of oncogenes + TSG)
3
Q
microRNA (miRNA) and cancer?
A
repress translation of oncogenes and tumour suppressors
4
Q
long ncRNAs?
A
XIST (x-linked chromosome inactivation), HOTAIR (increased expression in breats cancer - methylation), H19 (maternally expressed imprinted RNA)
