Abstract:
Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. Therefore, it is very important to understand cervical carcinogenesis, as well as the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in this process, in order to develop new strategies that contribute to diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cervical cancer. Infection by high risk-human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is a key event in cervical carcinogenesis, as well as, other factors, such as sociodemographics, lifestyle, sexual behavior, etc. In recent years, it has been shown that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) are involved in CC and can be classified into tumor promoters or suppressors. Currently, several studies have analyzed the molecular mechanisms of some lncRNA in CC that might be acting, such as 1) competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs), 2) activators of signaling pathways, and 3) transcriptional regulators of genes. In this review, we summarized the more recent information on lncRNA and their role in the development of CC.

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.
