What is Non-coding RNA profile in lung cancer about?

Lung cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy and the leading source of cancer-associated mortality. This kind of cancer has heterogeneous nature and is divided into two broad classes of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In addition to aberrant expression of several signaling pathways and oncogenes, lung cancer is associated with dysregulation of expression of non-coding RNAs including both long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and miRNAs. These aberrantly expressed transcripts are putative therapeutic targets and diagnostic/ prognostic markers. Integrative assessment of expression of lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs has led to construction of competing endogenous RNA networks in which several lncRNAs act as molecular sponges to inhibit regulatory function of miRNAs on mRNAs. Notably, some of these networks seem to have subtype-specific functions in lung cancer. In this review, we summarize recent findings about the importance of these networks in the pathogenesis of lung cancer and provide a list of onco-miRNAs, tumor suppressor miRNAs, oncogenic lncRNAs and tumor suppressor lncRNAs based on their roles in the carcinogenic process in lung cancer.
