Advancements in the next-generation sequencing technologies have identified rare transcripts of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the genome of cancers, including in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The purpose of this review is to highlight the contribution of lncRNAs in AML pathogenesis, prognosis, and chemoresistance.
Several studies have recently reported that deregulated lncRNAs are novel key players in the development of AML and are associated with AML pathophysiology and may serve as prognostic indicators. A few aberrantly expressed lncRNAs that correlated with the recurrent genetic mutations in AML such as NPM1 and RUNX1 have recently been characterized. Moreover, a few lncRNAs in MLL-rearranged leukemia have been described. Additionally, the involvement of lncRNAs in AML chemoresistance has been postulated.
Investigating the functional roles of the noncoding regions including lncRNAs, may provide novel insights into the pathophysiology, refine the prognostic schema, and provide novel therapeutic treatment strategies in AML.
下一代测序技术的进步已经在癌症(包括急性髓系白血病)的基因组中鉴定出长非编码 RNA(lncRNA)的稀有转录本。本文的目的是强调 lncRNA 在 AML 发病机制、预后和化疗耐药性中的作用。
最近有几项研究报道,失调的 lncRNA 是 AML 发展的新关键因素,与 AML 病理生理学相关,并可作为预后指标。最近已经对与 AML 中反复出现的遗传突变(如 NPM1 和 RUNX1)相关的一些异常表达的 lncRNA 进行了描述。此外,还描述了 MLL 重排白血病中的一些 lncRNA。此外,有人假设 lncRNA 参与了 AML 的化疗耐药性。
研究非编码区域(包括 lncRNA)的功能作用,可能为 AML 的病理生理学提供新的见解,完善预后方案,并提供新的治疗策略。
