TLDR
The role of RNP granules in cancer, and how their composition and regulation might be used to elaborate therapeutic strategies, is discussed in this paper, where the authors focus on the role of SGs and P-bodies in cancer.
Abstract
Stress granules (SGs) and processing bodies (P-bodies) are membraneless cytoplasmic condensates of ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). They both regulate RNA fate under physiological and pathological conditions, and are thereby involved in the regulation and maintenance of cellular integrity. During tumorigenesis, cancer cells use these granules to thrive, to adapt to the harsh conditions of the tumor microenvironment (TME), and to protect themselves from anticancer treatments. This ability to provide multiple outcomes not only makes RNP granules promising targets for cancer therapy but also emphasizes the need for more knowledge about the biology of these granules to achieve clinical use. In this review we focus on the role of RNP granules in cancer, and on how their composition and regulation might be used to elaborate therapeutic strategies.

Stress granules promote chemoresistance by triggering cellular quiescence

TL;DR: It is suggested that stress granules are important regulators of cellular quiescence, which could enable the identification of new anti-chemoresistance therapies that target stressgranules.

N6-methyladenosine-dependent regulation of messenger RNA stability

TL;DR: It is shown that m6A is selectively recognized by the human YTH domain family 2 (YTHDF2) ‘reader’ protein to regulate mRNA degradation and established the role of YTH DF2 in RNA metabolism, showing that binding of Y THDF2 results in the localization of bound mRNA from the translatable pool to mRNA decay sites, such as processing bodies.

Stress granules and processing bodies are dynamically linked sites of mRNP remodeling

TL;DR: It is proposed that mRNA released from disassembled polysomes is sorted and remodeled at SGs, from which selected transcripts are delivered to PBs for degradation, an interaction that is promoted by the related mRNA decay factors TTP and BRF1.

N 6 -methyladenosine-dependent RNA structural switches regulate RNA–protein interactions

TL;DR: It is found that m6A alters the local structure in mRNA and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) to facilitate binding of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (HNRNPC), an abundant nuclear RNA-binding protein responsible for pre-mRNA processing.
