The pivotal role of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) urothelial carcinoma associated 1 (UCA1) in anti-cancer drug resistance has been confirmed in many cancers. Overexpression of lncRNA UCA1 correlates with resistance to chemotherapeutics such as cisplatin, gemcitabine, 5-FU, tamoxifen, imatinib and EGFR-TKIs, whereas lncRNA UCA1 knockdown restores drug sensitivity. These studies highlight the potential of lncRNA UCA1 as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker, and a therapeutic target in malignant tumors. In this review, we address the role of lncRNA UCA1 in anti-cancer drug resistance and discuss its potential in future clinical applications.
长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)尿路上皮癌相关1(UCA1)在抗癌药物耐药性中的关键作用已在多种癌症中得到证实。lncRNA UCA1的过表达与对顺铂、吉西他滨、5-氟尿嘧啶、他莫昔芬、伊马替尼和表皮生长因子受体酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(EGFR-TKIs)等化疗药物的耐药性相关,而lncRNA UCA1的敲低可恢复药物敏感性。这些研究突出了lncRNA UCA1作为恶性肿瘤诊断和预后生物标志物以及治疗靶点的潜力。在本综述中,我们阐述了lncRNA UCA1在抗癌药物耐药性中的作用,并讨论了其在未来临床应用中的潜力。
