RESUMO
Lung cancer is currently one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. The occurrence and development of lung cancer, especially non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), are closely related to the abnormal expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). lncRNA with a transcript of more than 200 nucleotides is involved in chromatin modification, transcription activation, transcription interference and other regulatory processes, and has varying degrees of regulation on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of tumor cells. It is characterized by up-regulation or down-regulation of expression. At present, there are a large number of studies on lncRNA, because lncRNA has considerable application prospects in the diagnosis, clinical treatment, drug resistance research and prognosis evaluation of NSCLC. In this paper, the overview of lncRNA, the up-regulation or down-regulation of NSCLC-related lncRNA expression, NSCLC clinical treatment and drug-resistant lncRNA were summarized.
