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...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملLong non‐coding RNAs as an epigenetic regulator in human cancers
Recent studies have described the important multiple roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) during oncogenic transformation. Because the coding genome accounts for a small amount of total DNA, and many mutations leading to cancer occur in the non-coding genome, it is plausible that the dysregulation of such non-coding transcribes might also affect tumor phenotypes. Indeed, to date, lncRNAs hav...
متن کاملAn overview of long non-coding RNAs in ovarian cancers
As with miRNAs a decade ago, the scientific community recently understood that lncRNAs represent a new layer of complexity in the regulation of gene expression. Although only a subset of lncRNAs has been functionally characterized, it is clear that they are deeply involved in the most critical physiological and pathological biological processes. This review shows that in ovarian carcinoma, data...
متن کاملSmall non-coding RNAs as magic bullets.
RNA interference (RNAi) - inhibition of gene expression by small, non-coding RNAs [small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or microRNAs (miRNAs)] - has changed our view of regulation of expression dramatically. The application of siRNAs for both functional analysis of genes and medication raises several questions. These include the design of the double-stranded oligonucleotides, their preparation and i...
