RNA-Seq of the nucleolus reveals abundant SNORD44-derived small RNAs. [PDF]
Small non-coding RNAs represent RNA species that are not translated to proteins, but which have diverse and broad functional activities in physiological and pathophysiological states. The knowledge of these small RNAs is rapidly expanding in part through

Targeted knock-down of miR21 primary transcripts using snoMEN vectors induces apoptosis in human cancer cell lines [PDF]
We have previously reported an antisense technology, 'snoMEN vectors', for targeted knock-down of protein coding mRNAs using human snoRNAs manipulated to contain short regions of sequence complementarity with the mRNA target. Here we characterise the use

Profiling of RNAs from Human Islet-Derived Exosomes in a Model of Type 1 Diabetes [PDF]
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of insulin-producing islet β cells. Biomarkers capable of identifying T1D risk and dissecting disease-related heterogeneity represent an unmet clinical need.

The genetic and pharmacogenomic landscape of snoRNAs in human cancer
Emerging evidence has revealed significant roles for small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in tumorigenesis. However, the genetic and pharmacogenomic landscape of snoRNAs has not been characterized.

A high-throughput assay for directly monitoring nucleolar rRNA biogenesis
Studies of the regulation of nucleolar function are critical for ascertaining clearer insights into the basic biological underpinnings of ribosome biogenesis (RB), and for future development of therapeutics to treat cancer and ribosomopathies.

ZFAS1 is a lncRNA promoting cell proliferation and migration, exhibiting high expression in various cancers. It is conserved, widely expressed, and produces multiple splice variants with unclear roles. We identified several splice variants in hepatocyte models, and found that inhibiting or suppressing regulators of the unfolded protein response (PERK ...

Small Nucleolar RNA and Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene Signatures as Biomarkers for Pancreatic Cancer [PDF]
Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to identify key molecules including small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and small nucleolar RNA host genes (SNHGs) involved in pancreatic cancer.Methods: First, we screened the differentially expressed snoRNAs (DEsnoRNAs) and trend-related snoRNAs based on the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) dataset for

Localisation of the Ki-67 antigen within the nucleolus: Evidence for a fibrillarin-deficient region of the dense fibrillar component [PDF]
The Ki-67 antigen is detected in proliferating cells in all phases of the cell division cycle. Throughout most of interphase, the Ki-67 antigen is localised within the nucleolus.

A snoRNA modulates mRNA 3' end processing and regulates the expression of a subset of mRNAs. [PDF]
mRNA 3' end processing is an essential step in gene expression. It is well established that canonical eukaryotic pre-mRNA 3' processing is carried out within a macromolecular machinery consisting of dozens of trans-acting proteins. However, it is unknown
