We recently described Rolly Protein (ROLP), a small protein synthesized by substrate-adherent cells in a broad range of tissues. In a first set of experiments performed taking advantage of bone forming tibial cartilage as an experimental model we showed that ROLP transcription is associated to cells in an active proliferation state, whereas its...

Alternative splicing generates protein isoforms that are conditionally or differentially expressed in specific tissues. Discovery of factors that control alternative splicing might clarify the molecular basis of biological and pathological processes. We found that IL1-α dependent upregulation of 38A, a small RNA polymerase III-transcribed...

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a pediatric cancer characterized by remarkable cell heterogeneity within the tumor nodules. Here, we demonstrate that the synthesis of a pol III-transcribed non-coding (nc) RNA (NDM29) strongly restricts NB development by promoting cell differentiation, a drop of malignancy processes and a dramatic reduction of the tumor...

Alternative splicing is a central component of human brain complexity; nonetheless, its regulatory mechanisms are still largely unclear. In this work, we describe a novel non-coding (nc) RNA (named 17A) RNA polymerase (pol) III-dependent embedded in the human G-protein-coupled receptor 51 gene (GPR51, GABA B2 receptor). The stable expression of...
