Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly severe primary brain tumor. Despite extensive research, effective treatments remain elusive. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in both cancer and normal biology. They influence alternative splicing (AS), which is crucial in cancer. Advances in lncRNA-specific microarrays and next-generation sequencing have enhanced understanding of AS. Abnormal AS contributes to cancer invasion, metastasis, apoptosis, therapeutic resistance, and tumor development, including glioma. lncRNA-mediated AS affects several cellular signaling pathways, promoting or suppressing cancer malignancy. This review discusses the lncRNAs regulating AS in glioblastoma and their mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
Drug Discovery Today delivers informed and highly current reviews for the discovery community. The magazine addresses not only the rapid scientific developments in drug discovery associated technologies but also the management, commercial and regulatory issues that increasingly play a part in how R&D is planned, structured and executed.
Features include comment by international experts, news and analysis of important developments, reviews of key scientific and strategic issues, overviews of recent progress in specific therapeutic areas and conference reports.
