Abstract

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-protein coding RNAs with more than 200 nucleic acids in length. When lncRNAs are located in the nucleus, they regulate chromosome structure, participate in chromatin remodeling, and act as transcription regulators. When lncRNAs are exported to the cytoplasm, they regulate mRNA stability, regulate translation, and interfere with post-translational modification. In recent years, more and more evidences have shown that lncRNA can regulate the biological processes of tumor proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis, and can participate in a variety of tumor signaling pathways. Long-gene non-protein coding RNA641 (LINC00641), located on human chromosome 14q11.2, is differentially expressed in a variety of tumors and is related to overall survival and prognosis, etc. Interfering the expression of LINC00641 can lead to changes in tumor cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, apoptosis and other biological behaviors. Therefore, LINC00641 is a promising new biomarker and potential clinical therapeutic target. In this review, the biological functions, related mechanisms and clinical significance of LINC00641 in many human cancers are described in detail.
