Super enhancers (SEs) consist of clusters of enhancers, harboring an unusually high density of transcription factors, mediator coactivators and epigenetic modifications. SEs play a crucial role in the maintenance of cancer cell identity and promoting oncogenic transcription. Super enhancer lncRNAs (SE-lncRNAs) refer to either transcript from SEs locus or interact with SEs, whose transcriptional activity is highly dependent on SEs. Moreover, these SE-lncRNAs can interact with their associated enhancer regions in cis and modulate the expression of oncogenes or key signal pathways in cancers. Inhibition of SEs would be a promising therapy for cancer. In this review, we summarize the research of SE-lncRNAs in different kinds of cancers so far and decode the mechanism of SE-lncRNAs in carcinogenesis to provide novel ideas for the cancer therapy.
超级增强子 (SEs) 由簇状增强子组成,含有异常高密度的转录因子、中介共激活因子和表观遗传修饰。SEs 在维持癌细胞身份和促进致癌转录中起着至关重要的作用。超级增强子长非编码 RNA (SE-lncRNA) 是指来自 SE 基因座的转录本或与 SE 相互作用的转录本,其转录活性高度依赖于 SE。此外,这些 SE-lncRNA 可以与顺式相互作用的相关增强子区域相互作用,并调节癌症中癌基因或关键信号通路的表达。抑制 SE 将是癌症治疗的一种有前途的方法。在这篇综述中,我们总结了迄今为止不同类型癌症中 SE-lncRNA 的研究,并解码了 SE-lncRNA 在致癌作用中的机制,为癌症治疗提供了新的思路。
