Introduction:
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules that structurally resemble mRNA but do not encode proteins. Studies have been associated this class of non-coding RNA with the development of several disease, among them the different types of leukemia. However, the results are contradictory. Thus, we performed a systematic review of the literature available in order to better understand the involvement of lncRNAs in the development of leukemia.
Materials And Methods:
Pubmed and Embase databases were used to identify all studies that evaluated the expression of one or more lncRNA between human samples (peripheral blood, bone marrow) with leukemia (cases) and without leukemia (controls).
Results:
A total of 3675 articles were found in the databases, and after exclusion of articles that did not meet the eligibility criteria, 86 articles were included in this systematic review. In the 86 included studies, 3927 lncRNAs were differentially expressed between cases and controls. Among these, 110 lncRNAs were reported as being altered in samples from at least 2 studies and only 16 of them in ≥3 studies, which were selected for further evaluation. Of these, 12 lncRNAs were consistently dysregulated between cases and controls (CCAT1, CCDC26, CRNDE, HOTAIR, KCNQ5IT1, LINC00265, MALAT1, PVT1, SNHG5, TUG1: increased in cases, MEG3 and NEAT1: decreased in cases) in human samples of patients with some type of leukemia.
Conclusion:
Our data demonstrate that 12 lncRNAs are dysregulated in leukemia.
