“…Strikingly, the ability of CIRTs to avoid the NMD pathway depends on the cellular micro-environmental conditions such as hypoxia, infection, and the lack of nutrients (Karam et al, 2013;Hug et al, 2015;Li et al, 2017;Nasif et al, 2018). Those conditions of cellular microenvironment are well-established hallmarks for a wide range of inflammatory-based diseases ranging from cancer to neuropathies, which emphasize the significance of IR in pathological states (Brady et al, 2017;Farina et al, 2020;Massonneau et al, 2020;Tan et al, 2020). The survival of IR-mRNAs from the cellular regulatory control becomes more apparent due to the advancement in IR-mRNA detection methods such as deep sequencing (Zheng et al, 2020).…”
