  • Title: Long non-coding RNAs in glioma progression.
    Author: Xi J, Sun Q, Ma L, Kang J.
    Journal: Cancer Lett; 2018 Apr 10; 419():203-209. PubMed ID: 29355660.
    Abstract:
    Glioma is one of most malignant primary tumors of the brain. However, due to a lack of effective means for diagnosing and treating glioma, the prognosis of glioma patients remains poor. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanism of glioma progression is essential for effective treatment. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are novel regulators of gene expression at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional and epigenetic levels. Recent evidence indicates that lncRNAs may play important roles in regulating the progression of glioma. In this article, we review the expression profile of lncRNAs in glioma and discuss the functions and known mechanisms of several representative lncRNAs in detail, as well as the prospects of lncRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
