Core Tip

Core Tip: Our study identified the transfer RNA-derived small RNAs expression profile of sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) for the first time and found that tRNA halves (tiRNAs)-1:33-Pro-TGG-1, which was associated with polyp size, were highly expressed in SSLs and promoted oncogenesis in colorectal cancer cell. Furthermore, tiRNA-1:33-Pro-TGG-1 potentially promotes the progression of serrated pathway colorectal cancer (CRC) through metabolic and immune pathways by interacting with HPSE2 in SSLs and BRAF mutant CRC. In the future, tiRNA-1:33-Pro-TGG-1 may serve as a potential target for the early diagnosis of SSLs and treatment of CRC that arises from the serrated pathway.
