The Emergence of lncRNAs in Cancer Biology

Open access
Prensner, John R., Chinnaiyan, Arul M.·2011·Cancer Discovery

Abstract

The discovery of numerous noncoding RNA (ncRNA) transcripts in species from yeast to mammals has dramatically altered our understanding of cell biology, especially the biology of diseases such as cancer. In humans, the identification of abundant long ncRNA (lncRNA) >200 bp has catalyzed their characterization as critical components of cancer biology. Recently, roles for lncRNAs as drivers of tumor suppressive and oncogenic functions have appeared in prevalent cancer types, such as breast and prostate cancer. In this review, we highlight the emerging impact of ncRNAs in cancer research, with a particular focus on the mechanisms and functions of lncRNAs. Significance: lncRNAs represent the leading edge of cancer research. Their identity, function, and dysregulation in cancer are only beginning to be understood, and recent data suggest that they may serve as master drivers of carcinogenesis. Increased research on these RNAs will lead to a greater understanding of cancer cell function and may lead to novel clinical applications in oncology. Cancer Discovery; 1(5): 391–407. ©2011 AACR.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
