Abstract

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), especially microRNAs (miRNAs) and long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), are essential regulators of processes, such as the cell cycle and apoptosis. In addition to interacting with intracellular complexes and participating in diverse molecular pathways, ncRNAs can be used as clinical diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for fighting cancer. Studying ncRNA gene clusters is crucial for understanding their role in cancer and developing new treatments. LOC124905135 is a protein-coding gene encoding a collagen alpha-1(III) chain-like protein, and also acts as a gene for several ncRNAs, including miR-3619, PRR34 antisense RNA 1 (PRR34-AS1), PRR34, long intergenic ncRNA 2939 (LINC02939), LOC112268288, and MIRLET7BHG. It also serves as a host gene for three miRNAs (hsa-let7-A3, hsa-miR-4763, and hsa-let-7b). Notably, the ncRNAs derived from this particular genomic region significantly affect various cell functions, including the cell cycle and apoptosis. This cluster of ncRNAs is dysregulated in several types of cancer, exhibiting mutations, alterations in copy number, and being subject to DNA methylation and histone modification. In summary, the ncRNAs derived from the LOC124905135 cluster could be used as targets for diagnosis, therapy monitoring, and drug discovery in human cancers. © 2024 The Authors
