'Non-coding RNAs in cancer therapy: Pre-clinical and clinical
implications' provides a new insight towards role of non-coding
RNAs molecules including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs and
circular RNAs in cancer. The reason of focusing on cancer is that
this malignant disease is responsible for high death around the
world and after cardiovascular diseases, it is a leading cause of
death. In the current book, the basic information and knowledge
about ncRNAs, their biogenesis and their biological functions are
covered. It is shown that ncRNAs can regulate expression level of
genes at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and
therefore, ncRNAs are master and key players in molecular pathways.
Then, the impact of regulation of molecular pathways by ncRNAs on
important molecular mechanisms such as proliferation, metastasis,
epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, apoptosis and autophagy are
described. All of these aspects are integrated in cancer and for
treatment of this disease. In case of miRNAs, their biogenesis and
biological functions in physiological conditions are described.
Then, impact of miRNAs on proliferation, metastasis, therapy
response (drug resistance and radio-resistance) is described. For
lncRNAs and circRNAs, a same way is followed and their biogenesis
and functional roles in cells are discussed. At the next step,
function of lncRNAs and circRNAs in regulating proliferation,
metastasis and therapy response (chemoresistance and
radio-resistance) is introduced. These subjects are discussed based
on pre-clinical studies and in order to make the book more
comprehensive and broaden its scope, the function of exosomal
ncRNAs in diagnosis and prognosis of cancer patients is described.
