Abstract

Cancer is a complex disease, and its study requires deep understanding of several biological processes and their regulation. It is an accepted fact that non-coding RNAs are vital components of the regulation and cross-talk among cancer-related signaling pathways that favor tumor aggressiveness and metastasis, such as neovascularization, angiogenesis, and vasculogenic mimicry. Both long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and micro-RNAs (miRNAs) have been described as master regulators of cancer on their own; yet there is accumulating evidence that, besides regulating mRNA expression through independent mechanisms, these classes of non-coding RNAs interact with each other directly, fine-tuning the effects of their regulation. While still relatively scant, research on the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA axis regulation is growing at a fast rate, it is only in the last 5 years, that lncRNA-miRNA interactions have been identified in tumor-related vascular processes VSports手机版. In this review, we summarize the current progress of research on the cross-talk between lncRNAs and miRNAs in the regulation of neovascularization, angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry. .

lncRNA/miRNA/mRNA axis regulation. Among other interaction forms between ncRNAs and mRNAs, this review focuses only on lncRNAs blocking the negative regulation exerted by miRNAs. (A) miRNAs block translation by binding mRNA. (B) As lncRNAs function as decoys for miRNAs, mRNA translation is allowed.

lncRNA/miRNA/mRNA axes involved in Angiogenesis, Neovascularization, and Vasculogenic Mimicry. The main lncRNA/miRNA/mRNA axes reported in the literature are depicted. lncRNAs (blue) bind miRNAs (red) and upregulate (arrows) mRNAs (black). Bold characters denote axes shared between processes.
