Abstract:

Background & Objective: Prostate cancer is a compound condition in which gene expression has altered. Several surveys have revealed that genetic components have been involved in prostate cancer progression. Findings proposed that they can modify a noteworthy portion of disposing of elements, which is associated to the developing prostate cancer in protein coding sequences. The purpose of this research was to indicate that there are many long non-coding RNAs with over 200 nucleotides length found in the human genome, which showed a significant role in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer.  Conclusion: The role of LncRNAs as tumor suppressors or oncogenes has been demonstrated in several types of cancers, including prostate cancer. Recent investigations have disclosed that LncRNAs transcripts play a pivotal role in the tumorigenesis.

The Role of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Ovarian Cancer

Background: Ovarian cancer is the most fatal tumor of female's reproductive system, and several genetics and environmental factors are involved in its development. Various studies have already identified suitable biomarkers to facilitate the early detection, prognosis evaluation, and the assessment of treatment response. However, the aim of this review was to investigate the role of long non-co...

Long non‐coding RNAs and prostate cancer

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA transcripts larger than 200 nucleotides that do not code for proteins the aberrant expression of which has been documented in various types of cancer, including prostate cancer. Lack of appropriate sensitive and specific biomarkers for prostate cancer has led to overdiagnosis and overtreatment, making lncRNAs promising novel biomarkers as well as therapeut...

The Role of Long Non Coding RNAs in the Repair of DNA Double Strand Breaks

DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are abrasions caused in both strands of the DNA duplex following exposure to both exogenous and endogenous conditions. Such abrasions have deleterious effect in cells leading to genome rearrangements and cell death. A number of repair systems including homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) have been evolved to minimize the fatal effe...

Long non-coding RNAs and their significance in human diseases

Protein-coding genes account for only a small fraction of the human genome and most of the genomic sequences are transcriptionally silent, but recent observations indicate significant functional elements, including non-coding protein transcripts in the human genome. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been defined as transcripts of >200 nucleotides without protein-coding capacity that perform t...

Emerging players in prostate cancer: long non-coding RNAs.

Recent observations of novel long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have considerably altered our understanding of cell biology. The role of lncRNAs as tumor suppressors or oncogenes has been extensively studied. Over-expression of oncogenic lncRNAs promotes tumor-cell proliferation and metastasis through chromatin looping and distal engagement with the androgen receptor, anti-sense gene regulation, al...
