Abstract
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and their processing enzymes have long-recognized roles in cardiac and skeletal muscle pathophysiology. Recently, tRNA fragments have emerged as a new class of non-coding RNAs involved in the regulation of cell function. In this review, we provide a synopsis of the molecular processes that regulate the biogenesis, post-transcriptional regulation and functional roles of tRNAs in cardiac and skeletal muscle. In addition, we list the (dys)regulated expression profiles and putative functional roles of tRNA-derived small RNAs in the heart and skeletal muscle. Finally, the technical challenges surrounding tRNA research are discussed alongside suggestions to advance research in this field.
