Abstract:
The initiation of tumor is a complex process with multi-factor participation, particularly the activation of oncogenes and/or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in tumorigenesis. Additionally, as a metabolic process in cells, autophagy also contributes greatly to differentiation, metastasis and chemoresistance of tumor cells, and has become a central topic in recent years. The understanding of connection between lncRNAs and autophagy as well as their mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis, can provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of tumors.
