Abstract
ABSTRACT Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) reportedly function as important modulators of gene regulation and malignant processes in the development of human cancers. The lncRNA JPX is a novel molecular switch for X chromosome inactivation and differentially expressed JPX has exhibited certain clinical correlations in several cancers. Notably, JPX participates in cancer growth, metastasis, and chemoresistance, by acting as a competing endogenous RNA for microRNA, interacting with proteins, and regulating some specific signaling pathways. Moreover, JPX may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer. The present article summarizes our current understanding of the structure, expression, and function of JPX in malignant cancer processes and discusses its molecular mechanisms and potential applications in cancer biology and medicine.

The role of lncRNA just proximal to XIST (JPX) in human disease phenotypes and RNA methylation: The novel biomarker and therapeutic target potential. Biomed Pharmacother 2022; 155:113753. [PMID: 36179492 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely related to the initialization and development of human diseases. lncRNA just proximal to XIST (JPX), as a newly identified lncRNA, has been reported to be aberrantly expressed and associated with pathophysiological traits in numerous diseases, particularly cancers. More importantly, JPX has been proven to play important roles in various biological functions, including cell proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis, chemoresistance, and differentiation. In addition, we discuss the diverse molecular mechanisms and correlation with RNA methylation of JPX in several cancers. In this Review, we summarize current studies on JPX's roles in diseases and its potential application as a biomarker for both diagnoses and prognoses and a therapeutic target in human diseases.
