Abstract

Graphic abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a kind of malignant tumor with ethnic and geographical distribution characteristics. However, the molecular mechanisms of NPC are still unclear. Long non encoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are becoming important regulators in gene expression networks, including post transcriptional and post translational regulation of protein, protein complex organization, signal transduction and recombination among cells, which are involved in cancer recognition. Recent evidence shows that lncRNAs play important roles in the occurrence and development of NPC. Therefore, in-depth understanding of abnormal lncRNAs will provide new understanding of the pathogenesis in NPC, and provide new tools for the early diagnosis and treatment of NPC. This article reviews the abnormal lncRNAs in NPC cells and the roles of lncRNAs in the tumorigenesis of NPC. In addition, we also discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of lncRNAs in NPC.

Keywords: Long-non-coding RNAs, Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, emerging roles, therapeutic opportunities
