Progress in the study of lncRNA in the colorectal cancer / 实用肿瘤学杂志

Long non-coding RNA ( lncRNA ) is a group of RNAs that exceed 200 nt in length without protein coding capacity .The tumorigenesis and progression of colorectal carcinoma relate to the aberrant expres-sion of lncRNAs closely.In this review,we summarize researches in the current status of lncRNAs in human color-ectal carcinoma to provide potential evidences for future diagnosis and gene therapies .
