“…Long noncoding RNAs (Zhu et al, 2013;Rathinasamy and Velmurugan, 2018;Zheng et al, 2021;Ma et al, 2022) (lncRNAs) represent a special type of non-coding RNA with more than 200 nucleotides that are not translated into proteins. The aberrant expression of lncRNAs has been frequently observed in a variety of diseases, including human malignancies (Isin and Dalay, 2015;Bhan et al, 2017;Bian et al, 2021;Homayoonfal et al, 2021;Liu and Lei, 2021). Moreover, an increasing number of studies have shown that lncRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis and development of many cancers and are associated with different clinicopathological features (Wang et al, 2021b;Dong et al, 2021;Ma et al, 2021;Zhou et al, 2021).…”
