LncRNAs and cancer

Abstract: Abstract. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of non-coding RNAs composed of >200 nucleotides. Recent studies have revealed that lncRNAs exert an important role in the development and progression of cancer. In this review, the involvement of the most extensively investigated lncRNAs in cancers of the digestive, respiratory, reproductive, urinary and central nervous systems are discussed. LncRNAs function via molecular and biochemical mechanisms that include cis-and trans-regulation of gene expression, e… Show more

“…Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a kind of non-coding RNAs that transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides, with no protein-coding function [5,6]. LncRNAs play important roles in many processes of cellular functions, for instance, X chromosome imprinting, chromatin modification, and immune response [7,8].…”

“…Long ncRNAs are heterogenous group of RNAs, more than 200 nucleotides long and recently shown to be involved in many biological processes. Their numbers are significantly higher than the protein‐coding genes, can act in cis and/or in trans, and are involved in disease or developmental stage including human cancers (Djebali et al., ; Zhang, Xia, Lu, Zhang, & Zhu, ). LncRNAs regulate many biological functions like imprinting genomic loci and regulating chromosome conformation (Quinn & Chang, ).…”

“…Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNA), commonly defined as non‐coding transcripts >200 nucleotides in length, have emerged as a class of key regulatory RNAs. LncRNAs are deregulated in diverse human cancers and associated with disease progression (Yarmishyn & Kurochkin, ; Schmitt & Chang, ; Zhang et al , ). Aberrant expression of lncRNA contributes to human carcinogenesis, metastasis, stem cell differentiation and resistance to chemotherapy; in addition, lncRNA may play a role in MM progression, but supporting data are limited (Zhou et al , ).…”
