Non-protein coding RNAs have emerged as a regulator of cell signaling and cancer progression through regulation of cell proliferation, metastatic burden, and cancer stem cell capacity. A subtype of non-protein coding RNA is long non-protein coding RNA (lncRNA). Besides their aforementioned roles in cancer cell biology, dysregulation of lncRNAs contribute to resistance to therapeutic treatments. A couple of important therapeutic classes are chemotherapy and targeted/hormone therapies. This review highlights the variety of malignancies affected by lncRNA dysregulation and the underlying mechanism causing therapeutic resistance.
非蛋白质编码RNA已成为细胞信号传导和癌症进展的调节因子,通过调节细胞增殖、转移负担和癌症干细胞能力来发挥作用。非蛋白质编码RNA的一个亚型是长链非蛋白质编码RNA(lncRNA)。除了在癌细胞生物学中的上述作用外,lncRNA的失调还会导致对治疗的抗性。一些重要的治疗类别包括化疗和靶向/激素疗法。本综述强调了受lncRNA失调影响的各种恶性肿瘤以及导致治疗抗性的潜在机制。
