Unravelling the long non-coding RNA profile of undifferentiated large cell lung carcinoma

lncrna

Undifferentiated large cell lung carcinoma (LCLC) accounts for 2.9–9% of total lung cancers. Recently, RNA-seq based studies have revealed major genomic aberrations in LCLC. In this study, researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology aim to identify long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) expression pattern specific to LCLC. The RNA-seq profile of LCLC and other non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) was downloaded ...

Plasma lncRNA HOTAIR could serve as a promising biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring NSCLC

lncrna

Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) homeotic genes (HOX) transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) has been reported to play a vital role in various cancers. It has been found that HOTAIR was upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and involved in cell invasion and metastasis. The aberrant expression of HOTAIR is expected to serve as a potential biomarker for patients with NSCLC. ...

lncRNA-HIT promotes cell proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death around the world. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has pivotal roles in cancer occurrence and development. However, only a few lncRNAs have been functionally characterized. Jilin University researchers investigated the effects of lncRNA-HIT (HOXA transcript induced by TGFβ) expression on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell phenotype with the gain-of-function and loss-of-function ...

lncRNAs LOC146880 and ENST00000439577 may promote the progression of NSCLC

lncRNA

To identify what long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), researchers from the Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine analyzed microarray data on gene expression and methylation. Gene expression chip and HumanMethylation450BeadChip were used to interrogate genome-wide expression and methylation in tumor samples. Differential expression and methylation were analyzed through comparing tumors with adjacent ...

Long noncoding RNA SBF2-AS1 is upregulated in NSCLC and promotes proliferation of NSCLC tumor cells

lncRNA

Recent evidence has proven that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in cancer biology, while few lncRNAs have been characterized in NSCLC. Here, we characterized a novel lncRNA, SBF2 antisense RNA 1 (SBF2-AS1), in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Researchers at Nanjing Medical University used quantitative real-time PCR to quantify SBF2-AS1 expression in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. The ...

Long noncoding RNAs in lung cancer – what we know in 2015

lncRNA

Lung cancer ranks as the first most common cancer and the first leading cause of cancer-related death in China and worldwide. Due to the difficulty in early diagnosis and the onset of cancer metastasis, the 5-year survival rate of lung cancer remains extremely low. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which lacking protein-coding ability, have recently emerged as pivotal participants in biological ...

A critical role for the long non-coding RNA GAS5 in proliferation and apoptosis in non-small-cell lung cancer

lncRNA

In recent years, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been investigated as a new class of regulators of cellular processes, such as cell growth, apoptosis, and carcinogenesis. Although lncRNAs are dysregulated in numerous cancer types, limited data are available on the expression profile and functional role of lncRNAs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the present study, researchers at the ...
