Over the past two decades a great deal of information has been provided concerning myogenesis—the process of skeletal muscle formation. Much is known about the cellular and molecular mechanisms of adult myogenesis—the process through which adult muscle regenerates following acute injury and embryonic myogenesis—the process of skeletal muscle tissue development (1,2); however, the picture of the molecular mechanisms governing myogenesis is far from being complete. A recent paper by Mok et al. (3) adds an important piece of information to the mosaic of molecules/factors driving the ordered sequence of muscle-related events leading to cell fate decisions in developing embryos.

The advent of high-throughput genomic technologies revealed the expression of thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in human. Both classes of RNAs have limited or no protein coding potential. Both lncRNAs and circRNAs regulates gene expression by interacting with target DNA, RNA or proteins. Accumulating studies have demonstrated that lncRNAs and circRNAs play important role in various human diseases, including diabetes. Pancreatic β cell function is at the core of development of diabetes. This review will highlight the present knowledge about the role of lncRNAs and circRNAs in pancreatic β cell function and their association with development of diabetes.

Anastomotic leak is one of the most fretted complications in colon and rectal surgery and its occurrence carries a significant degree of morbidity and mortality for affected patients. Given the degree of harm this complication causes patients, a significant amount of work has been done in the field to identify factors associated with anastomotic leak in an effort to minimize both its occurrence and associated morbidity.

Roquin-1 and Roquin-2 are RNA-binding proteins essential for modulating T cell activity. Indeed, Roquin dysfunction has been linked to autoimmunity in mice. Essig and colleagues (2017) determine their functions in Foxp3+ T regulatory cells and uncover novel mechanisms of Roquin-mediated regulation of its target mRNAs (1).

As a class of endogenous non-coding RNA expressed by regulatory genes, circular RNAs (circRNAs) have attracted widespread attention due to their unique closed-loop structure. CircRNAs can not only exist stably in different tissues and organs, but also widely exist in blood, exocrine, lymph, saliva and other body fluids. They are involved in the regulation of embryonic development, aging and many pathophysiological processes related to various diseases. Recently, the diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases have made great advances due to the rapid development of fundamental research. However, most diseases are still lack of accurate early diagnosis and miss the best treatment opportunity, the concomitant complications seriously endanger human health and even lead to death. With the circRNAs becoming a hot research spot, the roles of circRNAs in digestive diseases have also been confirmed and recognized. This review mainly introduces the biological characteristics of circRNAs and their association with digestive diseases, expecting to contribute to the future research on digestive diseases and the exploration of circRNAs function.
