Review on long non-coding RNA DANCR enhances chondrogenic differentiation and proliferation of human synovium-derived mesenchymal stem cell / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Long non-coding RNA( LncRNA) is an RNA molecule that is longer than 200 nucleotides and is not translated into a protein.LncRNA DANCR has been identified in hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC) and markedly increased stemness features of HCC cells to promote tumorigenesis.Recent studies show that DANCR contributes to the differentiation and proliferation of synovium-derived mesenchymal stem cell ( SMSCs) and may be as a key point for this process.This article reviews the role of long non-coding RNA DANCR in enhancing chondrogenic differentiation and proliferation of human SMSCs.
