Abstract:
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays an important regulatory role in the occurrence and development of human cancer. LINC00858 is a newly discovered lncRNA with a length of 2685 nucleotides. Existing studies have shown that LINC00858 has abnormally high expression levels in malignant tumors such as colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, osteosarcoma, retinoblastoma, Wilms tumor, bladder cancer, and cervical cancer. By regulating a variety of microRNAs, LINC00858 can affect tumor cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and apoptosis. Related research also found that LINC00858 is related to nuclear transcription factor/protein kinase and gene methylation. The aberrant expression of LINC00858 is related to the prognosis and clinicopathological characteristics of a variety of tumors. Overexpressed LINC00858 is closely related to the clinical stage, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis of cancer, including colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and Wilms tumor. Also, it is summarized that LINC00858 can regulate MAPK and TGF-β signaling pathways. This review shows that LINC00858 as an important oncogene can promote tumorigenesis and cancer development.

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
