Article Abstract
T-lymphocytes (T cells) play a major role in adaptive immunity and current immune checkpoint inhibitor-based cancer treatments. The regulation of their function is complex, and in addition to cytokines, receptors and transcription factors, several non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been shown to affect differentiation and function of T cells. Among these non-coding RNAs, certain small microRNAs (miRNAs) including miR-15a/16-1, miR-125b-5p, miR-99a-5p, miR-128-3p, let-7 family, miR-210, miR-182-5p, miR-181, miR-155 and miR-10a have been well recognized. Meanwhile, IFNG-AS1, lnc-ITSN1-2, lncRNA-CD160, NEAT1, MEG3, GAS5, NKILA, lnc-EGFR and PVT1 are among long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that efficiently influence the function of T cells. Recent studies have underscored the effects of a number of circular RNAs, namely circ_0001806, hsa_circ_0045272, hsa_circ_0012919, hsa_circ_0005519 and circHIPK3 in the modulation of T-cell apoptosis, differentiation and secretion of cytokines. This review summarizes the latest news and regulatory roles of these ncRNAs on the function of T cells, with widespread implications on the pathophysiology of autoimmune disorders and cancer.

The dengue virus (DENV) poses a significant threat to human health, accounting for approximately 400 million infections each year. Its genome features a circular structure that facilitates replication through long-range RNA-RNA interactions, utilizing cyclization sequences located in the untranslated regions (UTRs). To gain new insights into the organization of the DENV genome, we purified the 5' and 3' UTRs of DENV in vitro and examined their structural and binding properties using various biophysical techniques combined with computational methods.

Glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity represents a common pathomechanism in neurological disorders. As the predominant glutamate transporter in the central nervous system, glutamate transporter 1 (GLT-1, known as EAAT2 in humans) plays a crucial role in maintaining glutamate homeostasis and preventing excitotoxicity through its Na⁺-dependent transport mechanism. Key functions of GLT-1 include reducing extracellular glutamate concentration, regulating calcium homeostasis, suppressing oxidative stress, preserving mitochondrial integrity, and modulating neuroinflammatory processes by limiting microglial activation.

In oxaliplatin-resistant gastric cancer (GC), multi-omics profiling combined with organoid libraries reveals altered metabolic pathways associated with chemoresistance. We identify a novel lactylation modification at K115 of Poly(RC)-binding protein 2 (PCBP2K115la), which confers functional oxaliplatin resistance. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the long non-coding RNA BASP1-AS1 assembles a complex containing Unc-51 Like Autophagy Activating Kinase 1 (ULK1) and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), thereby activating LDHA enzymatic activity to increase lactate production.
