Purpose Of Review: Over the last years, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as putative regulators of malignant hematopoietic development. Here, we review recent literature on the involvement of lncRNAs in leukemia, including their role in driving or sustaining disease and their potential impact on diagnosis, classification, and prognosis.
Recent Findings: Leukemogenesis is a complex process resulting from the accumulation of multiple genetic alterations. Over the last years, advances in high-throughput sequencing and transcriptome profiling have enabled the identification of lncRNAs involved in leukemia development. lncRNAs are able to distinguish different subtypes of human leukemia and several reports have identified specific patterns of lncRNA expression associated with clinical patient characteristics. Although functional studies on the actual role of these lncRNAs during transformation remain scarce, emerging evidence suggests that complex interactions between coding and non-coding transcript are truly involved in leukemia development.
Summary: Introduction of lncRNAs as an additional layer of complexity in human leukemia might provide new molecular genetic insights in the biology of this disease and could create unique opportunities for the identification of novel drug targets and diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers.

Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor and is frequently diagnosed in juvenile. Cellular senescence is a fundamental hallmark of osteosarcoma and plays a vital role in the initiation and progression of aging and tumorigenesis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in tumorigenesis.

Scalable methods for functionally high-throughput screening of RNA-targeting small molecules are currently limited. Here, an RNA knockdown gene signature and high-throughput sequencing-based high-throughput screening (HTS) were integrated to identify RNA-targeting compounds. We first generated a gene signature characterizing the knockdown of the long non-coding RNA LINC00973.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a major malignancy globally, characterized by high malignancy and intricate molecular mechanisms. This study aims to explore the role of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) lnc-EST885 in HCC development.
Methods: Cell experiments including FISH, western blot, flow cytometry and functional analysis were used to elucidate the effects of lnc-EST885 on cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and EMT processes.

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, such as gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and esophageal cancer, pose a significant medical and economic burden globally, accounting for the majority of new cancer cases and deaths each year. A lack of knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of GI cancers is reflected in the low efficacy of treatment for individuals with late stage and recurring illness. Understanding the molecular pathways that promote the growth of GI cancers may open doors for their therapy.
