Article Abstract

Background: tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are an emerging class of small noncoding RNAs derived from tRNA cleavage.

Summary: With the development of high-throughput sequencing, various biological roles of tsRNAs have been gradually revealed, including regulation of mRNA stability, transcription, translation, direct interaction with proteins and as epigenetic factors, etc. Recent studies have shown that tsRNAs are also closely related to renal disease. In clinical acute kidney injury (AKI) patients and preclinical AKI models, the production and differential expression of tsRNAs in renal tissue and plasma were observed. Decreased expression of tsRNAs was also found in urine exosomes from chronic kidney disease patients. Dysregulation of tsRNAs also appears in models of nephrotic syndrome and patients with lupus nephritis. And specific tsRNAs were found in high glucose model in vitro and in serum of diabetic nephropathy patients. In addition, tsRNAs were also differentially expressed in patients with kidney cancer and transplantation.

Key Messages: In the present review, we have summarized up-to-date works and reviewed the relationship and possible mechanisms between tsRNAs and kidney diseases.

tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that are generated by cleavage of precursors or mature tRNAs under stress conditions such as hypoxia, oxidative stress and nutrient deficiency. Recent breakthroughs in RNA sequencing technology have revealed their association with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including myocardial infarction (MI), atherosclerosis, cardiac hypertrophy, aortic coarctation, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. tsRNAs play important biological functions in these diseases, including the inhibition of apoptosis, epigenetic modification, intercellular signaling mediation, translation, and regulation of gene expression.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by a complex immunosuppressive microenvironment, which significantly influence tumor progression. Migrasomes, newly identified extracellular vesicles, have emerged as a novel mode of intercellular communication. However, their roles in HCC immune microenvironment are rarely studied.

Given the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment (TME), neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy benefits only a subset of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients, and the mechanisms of resistance remain unclear. Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are a new class of non-coding RNAs that participate in the remodeling of the TME. Using high-throughput small RNA microarray analysis, we found elevated expression of tsRNA 3'tiRNA-AlaCGC in tumors of LUAD patients resistant to neoadjuvant therapy, and negatively correlated with the poor prognosis in LUAD patients.

Identification of body fluid types at crime scenes is a critical step in forensic science, providing essential context for criminal investigations and the interpretation of evidence. Epigenetic markers, particularly small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs), have attracted increasing attention in forensic body fluid identification, with various small RNA species demonstrating potential as biomarkers for distinguishing different body fluid types. A novel class of sncRNAs, tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), has been detected in various biological samples, yet their potential application in forensic body fluid identification remains unexplored.
