TLDR
The role of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) as carriers of ncRNAs and underlying molecular mechanisms in pancreatic cancer was discussed in this paper.
Abstract
Pancreatic cancer has the worst prognosis among common tumors which is attributed to its aggressive phenotype, diagnosis at advanced, inoperable stages, and resistance to systemic therapy. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs have been established as important regulators of gene expression and their deregulation has been implicated in multiple diseases and foremost cancer. In the tumor microenvironment, non-coding RNAs can be distributed among cancer cells, stromal cells, and immune cells via small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), thereby facilitating intercellular communication and influencing major cancer hallmarks such as angiogenesis, evasion of the immune system, and metastatic dissemination. Furthermore, sEV-ncRNAs have shown promising potential as liquid biopsies with diagnostic and prognostic significance. In this review, we summarize the role of sEVs as carriers of ncRNAs and underlying molecular mechanisms in pancreatic cancer. Moreover, we review the potential of sEV-ncRNAs as biomarkers and highlight the suitability of sEVs as delivery vehicles for ncRNA-based cancer therapy.

The LINC00623/NAT10 signaling axis promotes pancreatic cancer progression by remodeling ac4C modification of mRNA

TL;DR: In this paper , a novel LncRNA, LINC00623, was identified, and its diagnostic value was confirmed, as it could discriminate patients with PDAC from patients with benign pancreatic neoplasms and healthy individuals.

Potential Role of Exosomes in the Chemoresistance to Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel in Pancreatic Cancer

TL;DR: The preclinical data with emerging clinical evidence is integrated, showing how the study of exosomes could help to predict the resistance of individual tumors, and guide the clinicians in the selection of innovative therapeutic strategies to overcome drug resistance.

Radiosensitizer EXO-miR-197-3p Inhibits Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Progression and Radioresistance by Regulating the AKT/mTOR Axis and HSPA5-mediated Autophagy

TL;DR: The data showed that miR-197-3p expression was closely related to radioresistance, apoptosis, proliferation, migration, and survival of NPC, and highlighted the potential of EXO-miR- 197- 3p as an effective radiosensitizer and therapeutic agent for refractory NPC.

Research Progress of circRNAs in Glioblastoma

TL;DR: The specific expression of circRNAs in GBM has shown their potential as new biomarkers for GBM cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion, which provides new ideas for Glioblastoma treatment.

Circular RNA circ-MTHFD1L induces HR repair to promote gemcitabine resistance via the miR-615-3p/RPN6 axis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored a new molecule, hsa_circ_0078297 (circ-MTHFD1L), related to chemotherapy resistance and found that it may be a molecular marker for the effective treatment of pancreatic cancer.

MicroRNAs: Genomics, Biogenesis, Mechanism, and Function

TL;DR: Although they escaped notice until relatively recently, miRNAs comprise one of the more abundant classes of gene regulatory molecules in multicellular organisms and likely influence the output of many protein-coding genes.

Tumor Angiogenesis: Therapeutic Implications

TL;DR: This new capillary growth is even more vigorous and continuous than a similar outgrowth of capillary sprouts observed in 2016 and is likely to be accompanied by neovascularization.

TL;DR: In the United States, the cancer death rate has dropped continuously from its peak in 1991 through 2018, for a total decline of 31%, because of reductions in smoking and improvements in early detection and treatment as mentioned in this paper.
