Abstract:

Glioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor which is essentially a polygenic abnormal disease. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a class of noncoding genes with a length of more than 200 nucleotides. LncRNA plays an important role in tumorigenesis and development by regulating the expression of tumor-related genes or related signaling pathways. The abnormally expressions of lncRNA in gliomas contribute to the diversity of glioma phenotypes. In-depth study of the potential role of abnormally expressed lncRNA in the pathogenesis and pathological grading of gliomas will provide new ideas for clinical targeted treatment of gliomas.

Key words: RNA, long noncoding, Glioma
