One of the most intriguing questions facing modern biology concerns how the genome directs the construction of cells, tissues, and whole organisms. It is tempting to suggest that the part of the genome that does not encode proteins contains architectural plans. We are still far from understanding how these plans work at the level of building tissues and the body as a whole. However, the results of recent studies demonstrate that at the cellular level, special non-coding RNAs serve as scaffolds for the construction of various intracellular structures. The term "architectural RNAs" was proposed to designate this subset of non-coding RNAs. In this review, we discuss the role of architectural RNAs in the construction of the cell nucleus and maintenance of the three-dimensional organization of the genome.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the numerous types of tumors. The aim of this study is to comprehend the pathological mechanism of lncRNA CASC19 in ovarian cancer. CASC19, miR-761 and CBX2 expression in the samples was quantitatively detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) reaction.

Long non-coding RNA MALAT1 regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) through a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism involving miRNA modulation. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular pathway by which MALAT1 influences EMT and metastatic behavior via interaction with miR-200c-3p and SNAI2. MALAT1 expression was genetically manipulated in the EOC cell line SK-OV-3 by either overexpression or knockdown.

Metabolic associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a severe form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) characterized by hepatocellular injury, inflammation, and fibrosis. Despite advances in understanding its pathophysiology, the molecular mechanisms driving MASH progression remain unclear. This study investigates the role of long non-coding RNA Linc01271 in MASLD/MASH pathogenesis, ant its involvement in the miR-149-3p/RAB35 axis and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) causes mild to severe disease in livestock and humans. It was first identified in 1931 during an epizootic in Kenya and has spread across Africa and into the Middle East. Hematopoietic cells are one of the major targets of RVFV ; however, their contribution to RVFV pathogenesis remains poorly understood.
