Abstract:
No longer regarded as junk DNA, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are considered as master regulators of cancer development and metastasis nowadays. Among the recently appreciated roles of these transcripts is their fundamental contribution in the pathogenesis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Notably, lncRNAs may have interactions with some environmental risk factors for this type of cancer. Moreover, a number of studies have verified diagnostic and prognostic values of lncRNAs in HNSCC. Emerging evidences from functional studies point to the possibility of design of lncRNA-targeted therapies in HNSCC. In the current review, we discuss the molecular mechanisms for participation of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of HNSCC, their potential application in cancer diagnosis and most importantly in the development of personalized methods for treatment of HNSCC.

Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
