Triplestrand RNA-binding proteins: a potential drug target for cancer and neurodegenerative diseases

Abstract: Triplestrand RNA-binding proteins (TRIB) are a family of non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role in various cellular processes. Despite the growing body of research on TRIB, the precise function of these proteins remains poorly understood. Here, we review the current understanding of TRIB and their potential as drug targets. We focus on the known functions of TRIB, their potential involvement in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, and the ongoing research in this field to identify potential drug targets.

Introduction:

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as a new class of molecules in recent years, offering a promising framework for the regulation of gene expression. One of these classes of ncRNAs is the triplestrand RNA-binding proteins (TRIB), which are characterized by their ability to bind to multiple RNA strands with different structural variations. Despite the importance of TRIB in cellular processes, the precise function of these proteins remains poorly understood.

Here, we provide an overview of TRIB, their functions in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, and the ongoing research in this field to identify potential drug targets.

Function of TRIB:

TRIB are involved in various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and RNA homeostasis. They have been shown to play a role in regulating gene expression, cell survival, and cell-cell interactions.

One of the most well-known functions of TRIB is their role in regulating microRNA (miRNA) levels. miRNA are small non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role in post-transcriptional gene regulation by binding to specific target RNAs. TRIB have been shown to act as negative regulators of miRNA levels, which can lead to the stabilization of target RNAs and the inhibition of their degradation.

In addition to regulating miRNA levels, TRIB are also involved in the regulation of other post-transcriptional gene regulation processes, including the addition of exons to RNA, the editing of RNA, and the modification of RNA.

Potential drug targets:

TRIB have the potential to serve as drug targets due to their unique mechanism of action and the diverse functions they have been shown to play in various cellular processes. Here, we review the current understanding of TRIB as drug targets and their potential therapeutic applications.

1. Cancer

TRIB have been shown to play a negative role in the regulation of cell growth and have the potential to serve as anti-cancer drugs. For example, TRIB have been shown to inhibit the androgen receptor (AR), a protein that promotes male gender identity and has been implicated in the development of prostate cancer.

In addition, TRIB have also been shown to regulate the cell cycle, which is a critical process for cancer development. By regulating the cell cycle, TRIB have been shown to inhibit the formation of new cancer cells and have the potential to serve as anti-cancer drugs.

2. Neurodegenerative diseases

TRIB have also been shown to play a role in the regulation of neurodegenerative diseases. For example, TRIB have been shown to regulate the production of neurotransmitters, which are important for the function of the nervous system.

In addition, TRIB have also been shown to regulate the translation of RNA into protein, which is a critical process for the development of neurodegenerative diseases. By regulating the translation of RNA into protein, TRIB have been shown to contribute to the development
