Latest Findings on Long Noncoding RNA in Tumor Microenvironment

JIN Juan, ZHAO Xiao-xiao, LI Li, FU Cai-yun

Abstract

Tumor microenvironment incorporates various tumor-related cellular and non-cellular components, playing a crucial role in the process of the pathogenesis, growth, and metastasis of tumors. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), a kind of noncoding RNA with a length of more than 200 nt, participates in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Recent studies have shown that lncRNA plays a vital role in the interaction between tumors and the tumor microenvironment, thereby affecting tumor progression. Herein, we reviewed the research progress on the lncRNA in tumor microenvironment, discussed the potential application of lncRNA in early diagnosis and treatment of tumors, and suggested that some issues should be further explored in future research, including developing effective strategies for knocking out specific lncRNA and selecting appropriate in vivo delivery vehicles targeting specific cells.
