The Regulatory Roles of Long Non-Coding RNA in the Chemoresistance Process of Ovarian cancer

Curr Pharm Des. 2019;25(8):856-861. doi: 10.2174/1381612825666190404122154.

Abstract

Background: Ovarian cancer is the most malignant tumor in gynecological tumors, with low five-year survival rate. The main reasons are diagnosis at advanced stages (the early symptoms are uncharacteristic, and most are diagnosedlate.), relapse, and resistance to existing chemotherapy drugs.

Methods: Search strategy was performed in the following steps. Firstly, LncRNA related to ovarian cancer was retrieved by using the LncRNA Disease database, and articles were searched by searching keywords: ovarian cancer, drug resistance, and LncRNA retrieved from the LncRNA Disease database.

Results/conclusion: With the development of the study on drug resistance of ovarian cancer, the role of LncRNAs as sensitive biomarker and therapeutic target has emerged, providing a direction for precision medicine of ovarian cancer resistance.

Keywords: LncRNA; Ovarian cancer; chemoresistance; drug resistance; gynecological tumors; long non-coding RNA..
