Plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 in cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Plasmacytoma variant translocation1 (PVT1) is a very important long nocoding RNA,which located at chromosome 8q24.21 in human beings.Aberrant expression and polymorphism of PVT1 was closely associated with various kinds of cancers such as malignant lymphoma,breast cancer,colorectal cancer,pancreatic cancer,and affected survival and prognosis of cancer patients.This mainly attribute to its interactin with myc,miRNAs and other proteins,and also gene polymorphism.Further study of PVT1 is expected to provide a new target for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
