Abstract:

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a type of RNA molecule whose transcript is longer than 200 nucleotides and cannot encode protein. Studies in recent years have shown that lncRNA plays an important role in the physiological and pathological processes of the body. It participates in the occurrence, development and metastasis of prostate cancer. Further study on the role and mechanism of lncRNA in prostate cancer is expected to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.

Key words: Prostatic neoplasms, RNA, long noncoding
