The roles and clinical significance of LINC01140 in human cancers in the real world
摘要
Carcinogenic factors facilitate cell carcinogenesis and the progression of cancer. In contrast, tumor suppressor factors inhibit abnormal cell proliferation and cancer development. Accumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can either suppress or promote cancer initiation and progression. LINC01140, a recently identified lncRNA, exhibits abnormal expression in cancerous tissues. Downstream target genes can be regulated, directly or indirectly, via miRNAs (miR-452-5p, miR-139-5p, miR-140-5p, miR-33a, miR-4742-5p, miR-200b-3p, and miR-452-5p), functioning as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors and contributing to cancer progression. Dysregulated LINC01140 expression shows significant correlations with patient survival, diagnosis, and cancer stage. Consequently, this review aims to examine the expression patterns, functional roles, and clinical significance of LINC01140 across pan-cancer, highlighting it as a potential therapeutic target for cancer treatment.
