Despite advances in cervical cancer screening and human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccines, cervical cancer remains a global health burden. The standard treatment of cervical cancer includes surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Radiotherapy (RT) is the primary treatment for advanced-stage disease. However, due to radioresistance, most patients in the advanced stage have an adverse outcome. Recent studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the regulation of cancer radiosensitivity by regulating DNA damage repair, apoptosis, cancer stem cells (CSCs), and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In this review, we summarize the molecular mechanisms of long noncoding RNAs in cervical cancer and radiosensitivity, hoping to provide a theoretical basis and a new molecular target for the cervical cancer RT in the clinic.
尽管宫颈癌筛查和人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗取得了进展,但宫颈癌仍然是一项全球健康负担。宫颈癌的标准治疗包括手术、放射治疗和化疗。放射治疗(RT)是晚期疾病的主要治疗方法。然而,由于放射抗性,大多数晚期患者预后不良。最近的研究表明,长链非编码RNA(lncRNAs)通过调节DNA损伤修复、细胞凋亡、癌症干细胞(CSCs)和上皮-间质转化(EMT)参与癌症放射敏感性的调节。在本综述中,我们总结了长链非编码RNA在宫颈癌和放射敏感性中的分子机制,希望为临床宫颈癌放疗提供理论依据和新的分子靶点。
