The molecular mechanisms of various long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in human lung tumors: Shedding light on the molecular mechanisms.

ABSTRACT

Although it is still mostly incomplete, unraveling the gene expression networks controlling the initiation and progression of cancer is crucial. The rapid identification and characterization of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is made possible by advancements in computational biology and RNA-seq technology. According to recent research, lncRNAs are involved in several stages in the genesis of lung cancer. These lncRNAs interact with DNA, RNA, protein molecules, and/or their combinations. They play a crucial role in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation, as well as chromatin architecture. Their misexpression gives cancer cells the ability to start, grow, and spread tumors. This review will focus on their abnormal expression and function in lung cancer, as well as their involvement in cancer therapy and diagnosis.
