tRF and tiRNA profiles in lung adenocarcinoma.

We investigate tRF and tiRNA profiles in lung adenocarcinoma and adjacent tissues using a NextSeq system. Total RNA was extracted from tissues and pretreated to remove the RNA modifications. In patients with lung adenocarcinoma, 338 types of tRFs and tiRNAs were detected via sequencing, 284 of which were not previously reported. Compared with the adjacent tissues, 17 types of tRFs and tiRNAs comprising 34 subtypes were found to be abnormally expressed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues, 20 of which were upregulated and 14 of which were downregulated. Finally, we show that tRF and tiRNA profiles in lung adenocarcinoma and adjacent tissues and identify several dysregulated tRFs and tiRNAs. Examination of the expression of tRFs and tiRNAs in three pairs of lung adenocarcinoma and adjacent tissues.
