Abstract

Recent genomic and transcriptomic analysis has revealed that the majority of the human genome is transcribed as nonprotein-coding RNA. These transcripts, known as long noncoding RNA, have structures similar to those of mRNA. Many of these transcripts are now thought to have regulatory roles in different biological pathways which provide cells with an additional layer of regulatory complexity in gene expression and proteome function in response to stimuli. A wide variety of cellular functions may thus depend on the fine-tuning of interactions between noncoding RNAs and other key molecules in cell signaling networks. Deregulation of many noncoding RNAs is thought to occur in a variety of human diseases, including neoplasia and cancer drug resistance. Here we discuss recent findings on the molecular functions of long noncoding RNAs in cellular pathways mediating resistance to anticancer drugs.
