Abstract
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a group of primary and secondary cutaneous malignancies characterized by aberrant T-cells in the skin. Diagnosing CTCL in its early stage can be difficult because of CTCL’s ability to mimic benign cutaneous inflammatory skin diseases. CTCL has multiple subtypes with different disease progression and diagnostic parameters despite similar clinical manifestations. The accurate diagnosis and prognosis of a varied range of diseases require the detection of molecular entities to capture the complete footprint of disease physiology. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have recently been discovered as major regulators of CTCL gene expression. They can affect tumor cell growth, migration, programmed cell death (PCD), and immunoregulation through interactions with the tumor microenvironment (TME), which in turn affect CTCL progression. This review summarizes recent advances in how ncRNAs regulate CTCL cell activity, especially their role in PCD. It also discusses the potential use of ncRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for different subtypes of CTCL. Furthermore, prospective targets and therapeutic approaches influenced by ncRNAs are presented. A better appreciation of the intricate epigenetic landscape of CTCL is expected to facilitate the creation of innovative targeted therapies for the condition.
期刊介绍:
Cell Death Discovery is a multidisciplinary, international, online-only, open access journal, dedicated to publishing research at the intersection of medicine with biochemistry, pharmacology, immunology, cell biology and cell death, provided it is scientifically sound. The unrestricted access to research findings in Cell Death Discovery will foster a dynamic and highly productive dialogue between basic scientists and clinicians, as well as researchers in industry with a focus on cancer, neurobiology and inflammation research. As an official journal of the Cell Death Differentiation Association (ADMC), Cell Death Discovery will build upon the success of Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease in publishing important peer-reviewed original research, timely reviews and editorial commentary.
Cell Death Discovery is committed to increasing the reproducibility of research. To this end, in conjunction with its sister journals Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease, Cell Death Discovery provides a unique forum for scientists as well as clinicians and members of the pharmaceutical and biotechnical industry. It is committed to the rapid publication of high quality original papers that relate to these subjects, together with topical, usually solicited, reviews, editorial correspondence and occasional commentaries on controversial and scientifically informative issues.
