    Noncoding Rnas: a New Layer of Functional Rnas
    (Bentham Science Publishers, 2023) Gürer, Dilek Cansu; Akgül, Bünyamin
    The conventional central dogma of molecular biology dictates that the genetic information contained within deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is passed onto messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs), which are then used as templates to synthesize proteins. Although these types of protein-coding genes have been historically prioritized in typical phenotype-genotype studies with a parallel disregard to the rest of the genome, the completion of genome projects has unveiled a surprising layer of genetic information that can play critical roles in cellular processes without coding for proteins. These types of genes are called noncoding genes as they do not code for proteins. Noncoding genes come in different sizes and shapes, and they are just as versatile in carrying out cellular biochemical processes as proteins. In this review, we cover a comprehensive review of housekeeping and regulatory noncoding genes and their mode of action.

    Noncoding Way of the Metastasis
    (Elsevier, 2022) Göker Bağca, Bakiye; Kuşoğlu, Alican; Çeşmeli, Selin; Biray Avcı, Çığır
    According to the World Health Organization statistics, the second leading cause of death globally is cancer. Together with this, metastasis is viewed as the leading cause of cancer death in patients with the disease due to the lack of treatment modalities for malignant tumors. One of the key mechanisms related to cancer metastasis is the epithelial-mesenchymal transition which enables epithelial cancer cells to gain mesenchymal cancer cell properties with elevated migration and invasion capacity that make it easy to spread distant tissues and survive from harsh conditions. Studies indicate that metastatic cancer cells have a gene expression signature that ensures those cells have increased migratory capacity as well as increased survival rate in circulation. Recently, the relationship of metastasis with two types of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been getting attention. In this chapter, the role of miRNAs and lncRNAs and treatment strategies regarding the role of ncRNAs in metastasis biology will be evaluated.

    Noncoding Rnas in Apoptosis: Identification and Function
    (TÜBİTAK, 2022) Tüncel, Özge; Kara, Merve; Yaylak, Bilge; Erdoğan, İpek; Akgül, Bünyamin
    Apoptosis is a vital cellular process that is critical for the maintenance of homeostasis in health and disease. The derailment of apoptotic mechanisms has severe consequences such as abnormal development, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, there exist complex regulatory mechanisms in eukaryotes to preserve the balance between cell growth and cell death. Initially, protein coding genes were prioritized in the search for such regulatory macromolecules involved in the regulation of apoptosis. However, recent genome annotations and transcriptomics studies have uncovered a plethora of regulatory noncoding RNAs that have the ability to modulate not only apoptosis but also many other biochemical processes in eukaryotes. In this review article, we will cover a brief summary of apoptosis and detection methods followed by an extensive discussion on microRNAs, circular RNAs, and long noncoding RNAs in apoptosis.
