Long Non-coding RNAs and their “orchestration” in cancers
Journal Title: Journal of Applied Biology & Biotechnology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
The behavior of “mysterious” long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) in cells and in cancers is quite fascinating. Their diverse and complex functions have astonished the entire scientific community. LncRNAs are absolutely diversified in nature and can execute a decisive task to regulate the genes in conjunction with developmental processes. They emerged as “key orchestrators” in cancers because of their involvement in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In this precise opinion, we first discuss the role of lncRNAs in various processes in the cell, and later, we brief the participation of lncRNAs in cancers with a note on their protein-coding potential.
