Overview of Gene Research
Trf, also known as T cell-replacing factor, is a T-cell-derived lymphokine. It triggers activated B cells for terminal differentiation into Ig-secreting cells, exerts BCGF II activity, and induces the expression of IL-2 receptors. It is involved in B-cell growth and differentiation processes, playing an important role in the immune-related biological pathways [3].
In recent studies, tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs, a different entity from Trf but relevant in the provided references) have shown diverse functions. For example, tRF-3022b in colorectal cancer affects tumor growth and M2 macrophage polarization by binding to cytokines like galectin 1 and macrophage migration inhibitory factor [1]. tRF-16-7X9PN5D promotes the radiation resistance of colorectal cancer cells by targeting MKNK1 [2]. These studies on tRFs, though not directly on Trf, provide an example of how non-coding RNAs can be involved in disease-related biological processes, which may be relevant for understanding Trf's role in immune-related diseases.
In conclusion, Trf is crucial for B-cell differentiation and growth, playing a significant role in the immune system. Although the provided references mainly focus on tRFs, they give insights into the importance of non-coding RNAs in disease, which may help in further research on Trf and its potential implications in immune-related diseases.
