LINC00665: An Emerging Biomarker for Cancer Diagnostics and Therapeutics.

Long intergenic noncoding RNA 00665 (LINC00665) is located on human chromosome 19q13.12. LINC00665 was upregulated in eighteen cancers and downregulated in two cancers. LINC00665 not only inhibits 25 miRNAs but also directly affects the stability of ten protein-coding genes. Notably, LINC00665 also encodes a micro-peptide CIP2A-BP that promotes triple-negative breast cancer progression. LINC00665 can participate in five signaling pathways to regulate cancer progression, including the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, TGF-β signaling pathway, NF-κB signaling pathway, PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, and MAPK signaling pathway. Aberrant expression of LINC00665 in breast cancer, gastric cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma can be used for disease diagnosis. In addition, aberrant expression of LINC00665 is closely associated with clinicopathological features and poor prognosis of various cancers. LINC00665 is closely associated with the effects of anticancer drugs, including gefitinib and cisplatin in non-small cell lung cancer, gemcitabine in cholangiocarcinoma, and cisplatin-paclitaxel in breast cancer. This work systematically summarizes the diagnostic and prognostic values of LINC00665 in various tumors, and comprehensively analyzes the molecular regulatory mechanism related to LINC00665, which is expected to provide clear guidance for future research.
