In recent decades, cancer biology has witnessed unprecedented advances in the study of biology, and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are now known to play central roles progression, regulation, therapeutic response[1]. Since their discovery, lncRNAs have been quickly becoming focus oncology research, given critical gene expression tumor microenvironment therapy resistance, once thought as transcriptional noise. These discoveries hold promise for developing novel diagnostic biomarkers well targeted therapies, furthering field precision oncology[2]. Types lncRNAs: LncRNAs can be grouped according location genome, structure, mode action. The major types include: Intergenic (lincRNAs): They transcribed from regions between protein-coding genes do not require regulation adjacent genes[3]. Intronic originate introns either regulate host or independent. Sense transcribe same strand region genes, but code nothing[4]. Antisense opposite through complementary base-pairing. Enhancer (eRNAs): were enhancer act enhance transcription nearby genes. Circular (circRNAs): CircRNAs highly stable formed by back-splicing events, competing with miRNAs binding regulating This classification underscores structural complexity versatility diversity lncRNAs[3]. Functional Complexity class comprises diverse that longer than 200 nucleotides. As a result, they show exquisite at multiple levels, including epigenetic, transcriptional, post-transcriptional, interactions DNA, RNA, proteins. ability functionally plasticity allows them orchestrate key biological processes such proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis, angiogenesis, immune evasion[5]. Importantly, dysregulated several cancers lung, breast, colorectal, head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), making oncogenes suppressors. last few years also revealed may modulate signaling pathways PI3K/AKT, Wnt/β-catenin, p53, NF-κB influence survival, drug directly. For example, lncRNA MALAT1 HOTAIR well-established oncogenic associated metastasis poor prognosis, while MEG3 GAS5 suppressor induce apoptosis inhibit proliferation. intricate context-specific functions progression underscored this dual nature[6]. Therapy Resistance LncRNAs: resistance is one impediments treatment, frequently resulting disease recurrence patient outcomes. More more evidence showing mediators chemotherapy, radiotherapy, therapies. mechanisms include epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), autophagy efflux pump modulation, inhibition[7]. an H19 shown confer tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) lung upregulating enzyme glycolysis, PKM2. Like UCA1 PVT1, promote cisplatin sponging suppressive activating pro-survival pathways. If we target these resistance-associated lncRNAs, sensitize cells improve effectiveness[8]. Biomarkers Therapeutic Targets: unique profiles high tissue specificity, thus promising candidates biomarkers. Detection fluids possible provide minimally invasive prognostic tools. There already PCA3 (prostate cancer) HULC (hepatocellular carcinoma) potential used markers clinical translation[9]. addition, new strategy targeting lncRNAs. Silencing restoration performed technologies RNA interference (RNAi), antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), CRISPR/Cas systems. stability bioavailability therapeutics further enhanced nanoparticle-based delivery systems hope successful practice[10]. Future Perspectives Challenges: Despite promise, there still challenges overcome Current context-dependent understood, no effective system exists facilitate application. personalized approaches lncRNA-based therapies needed heterogeneity cancer[11]. research should unweave molecular cancer, identify reliable response, explore drugs. To bring patients, collaborative efforts combine multi-omics technologies, artificial intelligence, trials will critical[12, 13]. CONCLUSION emerging agent, adding paradigm biology. regulators tumorigenesis, great diagnosis, treatment. advance day transform patients fighting formidable disease.
