ABSTRACT
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are members of RNA that are structurally similar to mRNA. They cannot encode proteins because they do not have a conserved open reading frame. LncRNAs were once regarded as abnormalities or noises or without any biological function after gene transcription. With the further development of research, it has been found that it can participate in normal or abnormal biological processes as an important regulator. LncRNAs are closely related to the development of nervous system function, metabolic disorders and tumors. LncRNAs abnormally expressed in cervical cancer participate in the regulation of various biological processes of cervical cancer by inhibiting or promoting tumors. This article reviews the recent reports on the abnormal regulation, molecular regulation mechanism and potential clinical application of lncRNAs in cervical cancer.
