    Abstract RNA therapeutics is a biological term regarding the usage of RNA-based molecules for medical purposes. Thanks to the success of mRNA-vaccine production against COVID-19, RNA therapeutics has gained more and more attention and investigation from worldwide scientists. It is considered as one of the promising alternatives for conventional drugs. In this first chapter, we presented an overview of the history and perspectives of RNA therapeutics' development. This chapter also explained the underlying mechanisms of different RNA-based molecules, including antisense oligonucleotide, interfering RNA (iRNA), aptamer, and mRNA, from degrading mRNA to inactivating targeted protein. Although there are many advantages of RNA therapeutics, its challenges in designing RNA chemical structure and the delivery vehicle need to be discussed. We described advanced technologies in the development of drug delivery systems that are positively correlated to the efficacy of the drug. Our aim is to provide a general background of RNA therapeutics to the audience before introducing plenty of more detailed parts, including clinical applications in certain diseases in the following chapters of the "RNA therapeutics" book.

    Abstract Lipid metabolism plays a very important role as the central metabolic process of the body. Lipid metabolism interruptions may cause many chronic diseases, for example, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), diabetes, and obesity. Secreted Frizzled Related Protein 5 (SFRP5) and Frizzled receptors (FZD) are two newly discovered adipokines that are involved in lipid metabolism as well as lipogenesis. Both of these adipokines affect lipid metabolism and adipogenesis through three WNT signaling pathways (WNTSP): WNT/β-catenin, WNT/Ca

    Abstract RNA therapies involve the utilization of natural and artificial RNA molecules to control the expression and function of cellular genes and proteins. Initializing from 1990s, RNA therapies now show the rapid growth in the development and application of RNA therapeutics for treating various conditions, especially for undruggable diseases. The outstanding success of recent mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 infection again highlighted the important role of RNA therapies in future medicine. In this review, we will first briefly provide the crucial investigations on RNA therapy, from the first pieces of discovery on RNA molecules to clinical applications of RNA therapeutics. We will then classify the mechanisms of RNA therapeutics from various classes in the treatment of diseases. To emphasize the huge potential of RNA therapies, we also provide the key RNA products that have been on clinical trials or already FDA-approved. With comprehensive knowledge on RNA biology, and the advances in analysis, technology and computer-aid science, RNA therapies can bring a promise to be more expanding to the market in the future.

    Abstract The excretory system is responsible for removing wastes from the human body, which plays a crucial role in our lives. Current treatments for diseases related to this system have shown several limitations; therefore, there is a rising need for novel methods. In this circumstance, RNA-based therapeutics have rapidly emerged as new and promising candidates. In fact, to date, a handful of potential drugs have passed the development step and entered the clinical pipeline. Among them, one drug received FDA approval to enter the global market, which is Oxlumo (Lumasiran) for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1. For other excretory diseases, such as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, urothelial cancer or renal cancer, RNA-based candidates are also being tested under clinical trials. Currently, the most potential types of RNA therapeutics to treat disorders of the excretory system are those based on small interfering RNA (siRNA), antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) and messenger RNA (mRNA), Among them, siRNA therapeutics seem to be the most promising, including Oxlumo and two other developing drug candidates. This chapter will provide a general overview on the application of RNA therapeutics in disorders of the excretory system.

    Abstract Blood disorders are defined as diseases related to the structure, function, and formation of blood cells. These diseases lead to increased years of life loss, reduced quality of life, and increased financial burden for social security systems around the world. Common blood disorder treatments such as using chemical drugs, organ transplants, or stem cell therapy have not yet approached the best goals, and treatment costs are also very high. RNA with a research history dating back several decades has emerged as a potential method to treat hematological diseases. A number of clinical trials have been conducted to pave the way for the use of RNA molecules to cure blood disorders. This novel approach takes advantage of regulatory mechanisms and the versatility of RNA-based oligonucleotides to target genes and cellular pathways involved in the pathogenesis of specific diseases. Despite positive results, currently, there is no RNA drug to treat blood-related diseases approved or marketed. Before the clinical adoption of RNA-based therapies, challenges such as safe delivery of RNA molecules to the target site and off-target effects of injected RNA in the body need to be addressed. In brief, RNA-based therapies open novel avenues for the treatment of hematological diseases, and clinical trials for approval and practical use of RNA-targeted are crucial.

    Abstract The prevalence of metabolic disorders is increasing exponentially and has recently reached epidemic levels. Over the decades, a large number of therapeutic options have been proposed to manage these diseases but still show several limitations. In this circumstance, RNA therapeutics have rapidly emerged as a new hope for patients with metabolic diseases. 57 years have elapsed from the discovery of mRNA, a large number of RNA-based drug candidates have been evaluated for their therapeutic effectiveness and clinical safety under clinical studies. To date, there are seven RNA drugs for treating metabolic disorders receiving official approval and entering the global market. Their targets include hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR), familial chylomicronemia syndrome, acute hepatic porphyria, primary hyperoxaluria type 1 and hypercholesterolemia, which are all related to liver proteins. All of these seven RNA drugs are antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). These two types of treatment are both based on oligonucleotides complementary to target RNA through Watson-Crick base-pairing, but their mechanisms of action include different nucleases. Such treatments show greatest potential among all types of RNA therapeutics due to consecutive achievements in chemical modifications. Another method, mRNA therapeutics also promise a brighter future for patients with a handful of drug candidates currently under development.

    Abstract Cancer is a dangerous disease and one of the leading causes of death in the world. In 2020, there were nearly 10 million cancer deaths and approximately 20 million new cases. New cases and deaths from cancer are expected to increase further in the coming years. To have a deeper insight into the mechanism of carcinogenesis, epigenetics studies have been published and received much attention from scientists, doctors, and patients. Among alterations in epigenetics, DNA methylation and histone modification are studied by many scientists. They have been reported to be a major contributor in tumor formation and are involved in metastasis. From the understanding of DNA methylation and histone modification, effective, accurate and cost-effective methods for diagnosis and screening of cancer patients have been introduced. Furthermore, therapeutic approaches and drugs targeting altered epigenetics have also been clinically studied and have shown positive results in combating tumor progression. Several cancer drugs that rely on DNA methylation inactivation or histone modification have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of cancer patients. In summary, epigenetics changes such as DNA methylation or histone modification are take part in tumor growth, and they also have great prospect to study diagnostic and therapeutic methods of this dangerous disease.
