Relationship between lncRNA MALAT1 and Chemo-radiotherapy Resistance of Cancer Cells: Uncovered Truths

The advancement of novel technologies, coupled with bioinformatics, has led to the discovery of additional genes, such as long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), that are associated with drug resistance. LncRNAs are composed of over 200 nucleotides and do not possess any protein coding function. These lncRNAs exhibit lower conservation across species, are typically expressed at low levels, and often display high specificity towards specific tissues and developmental stages. The LncRNA MALAT1 plays crucial regulatory roles in various aspects of genome function, encompassing gene transcription, splicing, and epigenetics. Additionally, it is involved in biological processes related to the cell cycle, cell differentiation, development, and pluripotency. Recently, MALAT1 has emerged as a novel mechanism contributing to drug resistance or sensitivity, attracting significant attention in the field of cancer research. This review aims to explore the mechanisms through which MALAT1 confers resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy in cancer cells.

Updated review on analysis of long non-coding RNAs as emerging diagnostic and therapeutic targets in prostate cancers

Despite advancements, prostate cancers (PCa) pose a significant global health challenge due to delayed diagnosis and therapeutic resistance. This review delves into the complex landscape of prostate cancer, with a focus on long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Also explores the influence of aberrant lncRNAs expression in progressive PCa stages, impacting traits like proliferation, invasion, metastasis and therapeutic resistance. The study elucidates how lncRNAs modulate crucial molecular effectors, including transcription factors and microRNAs, affecting signaling pathways such as androgen receptor signaling. Besides, this manuscript sheds light on novel concepts and mechanisms driving PCa progression through lncRNAs, providing a critical analysis of their impact on the disease's diverse characteristics. Besides, it discusses the potential of lncRNAs as diagnostics and therapeutic targets in PCa. Collectively, this work highlights state of art mechanistic comprehension and rigorous scientific approaches to advance our understanding of PCa and depict innovations in this evolving field of research.

Non-coding RNA and Drug resistance in cholangiocarcinoma

Cholangiocarcinoma is a highly aggressive cancer with a dismal prognosis and limited resectability. Chemotherapy has demonstrated tremendous benefits for patients with advanced and inoperable cancer, but drug resistance poses a significant obstacle. Despite recent progress in cancer therapy, the mechanisms driving drug resistance are multifaceted and not completely comprehended. Non-coding RNA refers to RNA molecules that are endogenous and do not code for proteins. Particularly microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, are widely acknowledged to be involved in cancer initiation, proliferation, and metastasis. Recently, evidences suggests that abnormal expression of non-coding RNAs contributes to resistance to different type of cancer therapies in cholangiocarcinoma. This occurs via the rewiring of signaling pathways including the reduction of anticancer drugs, apoptosis, interaction between cholangiocarcinoma and tumor-infiltrating immune cells, and cancer stemness. Thus, our review aims to demonstrate the potential of targeting non-coding RNA to override drug resistance and summarize the molecular mechanisms of how non-coding RNA contributes to drug resistance in cholangiocarcinoma.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) PVT1 in drug resistance of cancers: Focus on pathological mechanisms

According to estimates, cancer will be the leading cause of death globally in 2022, accounting for 9.6 million deaths. At present, the three main therapeutic modalities utilized to treat cancer are radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surgery. However, during treatment, tumor cells resistant to chemotherapy may arise. Drug resistance remains a major oppose since it often leads to therapeutic failure. Furthermore, the term "acquired drug resistance" describes the situation where tumor cells already display drug resistance before undergoing chemotherapy. However, little is still known about the basic mechanisms underlying chemotherapy-induced drug resistance. The development of new technologies and bioinformatics has led to the discovery of additional genes associated with drug resistance. Long noncoding RNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) has been linked to an increased risk of cancer, according to a growing body of research. Apart from biological functions associated with cell division, development, pluripotency, and cell cycle, lncRNA PVT1 contributes significantly to the regulation of various aspects of genome function, such as transcription, splicing, and epigenetics. The article will address the mechanism by which lncRNA PVT1 influences drug resistance in cancer cells.

Advances in long non-coding RNA regulating drug resistance of cancer

Drug resistance is one of the main challenges in cancer treatment. Long non coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a complex and precise regulatory role in regulating drug resistance of cancer. The common ways of lncRNA regulating drug resistance of cancer involve ATP binding transporter overexpression, abnormal DNA damage response, tumor cell apoptosis, accumulation of epithelial mesenchymal transformation and cancer stem cell formation. Moreover, studies on exosomal lncRNAs regulating cancer drug resistance are developed in recent years. Further study on the role and mechanism of lncRNAs drug resistance in cancer will help clinical cancer treatment program and explore new treatment methods. This paper reviews recent advances in lncRNAs regulating drug resistance of cancer, especially the role of exosomal lncRNAs.
