The Role of Long Noncoding Ribonucleic Acids in Glioblastoma: What the Neurosurgeon Should Know

Genaro Rodriguez Villa et al. Neurosurgery. .

Abstract

A significant proportion of the human transcriptome, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in several aspects of glioblastoma (GBM) pathophysiology including proliferation, invasion, radiation and temozolomide resistance, and immune modulation. The majority of lncRNAs exhibit tissue- and tumor-specific expression, lending them to be attractive targets for therapeutic translation. In recent years, unprecedented progress has been made toward our understanding of lncRNA in GBM. In this review, we discuss the function of lncRNAs, including specific lncRNAs that have critical roles in key aspects of GBM pathophysiology, and potential clinical relevance of lncRNAs for patients with GBM.
