Published: July 2023

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a highly aggressive disease with a poor prognosis. The reprogramming of energetic metabolism has long been implicated in pancreatic tumorigenesis and/or resistance to treatment. Considering that long non-coding RNA dysregulation has been described both in cancerogenesis and in the altered homeostasis of several metabolic pathways, metabolism-associated lncRNAs can contribute to pancreatic cancer evolution. The objective of this review is to assess the burden of lncRNA dysregulation in pancreatic cancer metabolic reprogramming, and its effect on this tumor's natural course and response to treatment. Therefore, we reviewed the available literature to assess whether metabolism-associated lncRNAs have been found to be differentially expressed in pancreatic cancer, as well as whether experimental evidence of their role in such pathways can be demonstrated. Specifically, we provide a comprehensive overview of lncRNAs that are implicated in hypoxia-related pathways, as well as in the reprogramming of autophagy, lipid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism. Our review gathers background material for further research on possible applications of metabolism-associated lncRNAs as diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers and/or as potential therapeutic targets in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Background: Peritoneal metastasis (PM) after the rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a critical issue that negatively affects patient prognosis. Machine learning models have shown great potential in predicting clinical outcomes; however, the optimal model for this specific problem remains unclear.

Methods: Clinical data were collected and analyzed from 522 patients with ruptured HCC who underwent surgery at 7 different medical centers.

Background: Orthotopic murine models of pancreatic cancer represent an important tool for evaluating treatment strategies. Several genetically modified mouse tumors and xenograft models have been reported. Genetic models have unpredictable growth and variable waiting period, while orthotopic models are operative ones, difficult to create and result in irregular metastasis.

Department of Immunology, School of Clinical and Basic Medical Sciences, Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, Shandong, China.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial regulatory molecules that participate in numerous cellular development processes, and they have gathered much interest recently. HOXA10 antisense RNA (HOXA10-AS, also known as HOXA-AS4) is a novel lncRNA that was identified to be dysregulated in some prevalent malignancies. In this review, the clinical significance of HOXA10-AS for the prognosis of various cancers is analyzed.
