Abstract
Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) is a new type of non-coding RNA whose transcription is more than 200 nucleotides in length and can be up to 100kb. The crucial regulatory function of lncRNAs in different cellular processes is now notable in many human diseases, especially in different steps of tumorigenesis, making them clinically significant. This research tried to collect all evidence obtained so far regarding Nuclear Receptor subfamily 2 group F member 2 Antisense RNA 1 (NR2F2-AS1) to explore its role in carcinogenesis and molecular mechanism in several cancers. Collecting evidence value an oncogenic role for NR2F2-AS1, whose dysregulation changes the status for cancerous cells to gain the supremacy toward cellular proliferation, dissemination, and ultimately migration. The NR2F2-AS1 acts as competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) and contains several microRNA response elements (MREs) for different microRNAs involved in various pathways such as PI3K/AKT, Wnt/β-catenin, and TGF-β. This clinically makes NR2F2-AS1 a remarkable lncRNA which contributes to cancer progression and invasion and perhaps could be a candidate as a prognostic marker or even a therapeutic target.
