RESUMEN
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most important histological type of lung cancer. This disease affects a large number of patients, and the prognosis of advanced patients is poor. Although great progress has been achieved for existing treatment methods, challenges still exist. Cancer is a genetic disease, and its occurrence is accompanied by substantial genomic-sequence instability. (GT/CA)n repeat sequence is a common microsatellite sequence serving as transcriptional function-related regions, DNA-methylation modification sites, and other functional sites. Its polymorphism is closely related to the expression of EGFR, HO-1, and HIF-1α in NSCLC patients. (GT/CA)n repeat sequence is the breakthrough point to explore the molecular mechanism of NSCLC occurrence and development, develop molecular markers for diagnosis and prognosis and epigenetics research. This paper summarizes the studies on (GT/CA)n repeat polymorphisms in NSCLC with the aim of providing references for relevant NSCLC research.
RESUMEN
Oral cancer is a common head and neck malignant tumor. Its molecular mechanism of pathogenesis is complex and needs further exploration. Non-coding RNAs account for more than 95% of human transcripts and include microRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs. They are an important entry point for research on molecular mechanism of oral cancer. Non-coding RNAs and protein-coding genes constitute a complex regulatory system involved in the regulation of physiological and pathological processes. This review summarizes articles about oral cancer-related non-coding RNAs and presents valuable information from the perspectives of microRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA.
