Abstract
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are senescent fibroblasts in tumor nest, which trigger a signaling center to remodel a desmoplastic tumor niche. CAF’s functions in cancer are closely similar to myofibroblasts during the wound healing process. They can produce cytokines, enzymes, and protein- or RNA-containing exosomes to alter the function of surrounding cells. Non-- coding RNAs, including microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, modulate pathologic mechanisms in cancer. Dysregulation of these RNAs influences the formation and function of CAFs. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that CAFs, by releasing non-coding RNAs-containing exosomes, affect the tumor cells’ behavior. CAFs also secrete mediators such as chemokines to alter the expression of non-coding RNAs in the tumor microenvironment. This study aimed to discuss the role of non-coding RNAs in CAF development in cancer. Additionally, we have shed light on the therapeutic approaches to develop the strategies based on the alteration of non-coding RNAs in cancer.

RNA Molecules in the Treatment of Human Diseases
Messenger and non-coding RNAs, including long and small transcripts, are mediators of gene expression. Gene expression at the RNA level shows significant aberrations in human diseases, including cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. Human transcripts serve either as biomarkers of diagnosis, prognosis, prediction of treatment response and/or therapy ...read more
