Comprehensive analysis of recently discovered lncRNA-associated competing endogenous RNA network in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Pathology, Research and Practice 2024 April 17
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) arises from the epithelium of the nasopharynx and is characterized by geography-dependent incidence. Despite the high mortality rate, specifically in some ethnic groups, the mechanisms underlying NPC pathogenesis are not thoroughly understood and there is an urgent need to detect the potential and clinically applicable biomarkers to ameliorate the overall survival rate and improve the prognosis of patients. In recent years, research has increasingly focused on the importance of long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) in cancer progression. LncRNAs play critical roles in regulating gene expression through mechanisms such as competitively binding to microRNAs (CeRNA). While numerous LncRNAs have been studied in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), their potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers have not been systematically examined. In the present study, we delve into elucidating the biological functions, molecular mechanisms, and clinical significance of newly identified LncRNAs that serve as sponges for different microRNAs in NPC. We highlight their regulatory mechanisms in promoting cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, and discuss their implications in diverse cancer-related signaling pathways. Our overall goal is to emboss the fundamental roles of LncRNA-mediated CeRNA networks in NPC progression, which may open up new avenues for determining the pathogenesis of NPC and developing effective prevention and treatment strategies.
