Prostate Cancer Associated Non-Coding RNA 1 (PRNCR1) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) which is transcribed from chromosome 8, plus strand. This lncRNA has been reported to be an oncogenic transcript participating in the pathogenesis of several kinds of cancers. Some single nucleotide polymorphisms within this lncRNA affect cancer risk. Moreover, few studies have revealed its possible roles in some non-neoplastic conditions, such as cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury, osteolysis after hip replacement, preeclampsia and pulmonary disorders. In the present narrative review, we explain diverse roles of PRNCR1 in human disorders.
Keywords: Biomarker; Cancer; Expression; LncRNA; PRNCR1.
