The imprinted H19 lncRNA antagonizes let-7 microRNAs.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that H19 modulates let-7 availability by acting as a molecular sponge, and this lncRNA is identified as an important regulator of the majorLet-7 family of microRNAs.

The Role of Non-coding RNAs in Oncology

TL;DR: For decades, research into cancer biology focused on the involvement of protein-coding genes, but an explosion of studies into ncRNA biology has shown that they represent a diverse and prevalent group of RNAs, including both oncogenic molecules and those that work in a tumor suppressive manner.

Circular RNAs are a large class of animal RNAs with regulatory potency

TL;DR: It is found that a human circRNA, antisense to the cerebellar degeneration-related protein 1 transcript (CDR1as), is densely bound by microRNA (miRNA) effector complexes and harbours 63 conserved binding sites for the ancient miRNA miR-7.

Natural RNA circles function as efficient microRNA sponges

TL;DR: This study serves as the first functional analysis of a naturally expressed circular RNA, ciRS-7, which contains more than 70 selectively conserved miRNA target sites, and is highly and widely associated with Argonaute proteins in a miR-7-dependent manner.

A ceRNA Hypothesis: The Rosetta Stone of a Hidden RNA Language?

TL;DR: It is proposed that this "competing endogenous RNA" (ceRNA) activity forms a large-scale regulatory network across the transcriptome, greatly expanding the functional genetic information in the human genome and playing important roles in pathological conditions, such as cancer.
