Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have garnered significant attention in biomedical research due to their pivotal roles in gene expression regulation and their association with various human diseases. Among these lncRNAs, ArfGAP With RhoGAP Domain, Ankyrin Repeat, And PH Domain 1 - Antisense RNA 1 (ARAP1-AS1) has recently emerged as an novel oncogenic player. ARAP1-AS1 is prominently overexpressed in numerous solid tumors and wields influence by modulating gene expression and signaling pathways. This regulatory impact is realized through dual mechanisms, involving both competitive interactions with microRNAs and direct protein binding. ARAP1-AS1 assumes an important role in driving tumorigenesis and malignant tumor progression, affecting biological characteristics such as tumor expansion and metastasis. This paper provides a concise review of the regulatory role of ARAP1-AS1 in malignant tumors and discuss its potential clinical applications as a biomarker and therapeutic target. We also address existing knowledge gaps and suggest avenues for future research. ARAP1-AS1 serves as a prototypical example within the burgeoning field of lncRNA studies, offering insights into the broader landscape of non-coding RNA molecules. This investigation enhances our comprehension of the complex mechanisms that govern the progression of cancer.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Cell International publishes articles on all aspects of cancer cell biology, originating largely from, but not limited to, work using cell culture techniques.
The journal focuses on novel cancer studies reporting data from biological experiments performed on cells grown in vitro, in two- or three-dimensional systems, and/or in vivo (animal experiments). These types of experiments have provided crucial data in many fields, from cell proliferation and transformation, to epithelial-mesenchymal interaction, to apoptosis, and host immune response to tumors.
Cancer Cell International also considers articles that focus on novel technologies or novel pathways in molecular analysis and on epidemiological studies that may affect patient care, as well as articles reporting translational cancer research studies where in vitro discoveries are bridged to the clinic. As such, the journal is interested in laboratory and animal studies reporting on novel biomarkers of tumor progression and response to therapy and on their applicability to human cancers.
