Abstract
The central role of the nonprotein-coding portion of the genome, such as long noncoding (lnc)RNAs is emerging as a hidden player manipulating the immune system in cancer. lncRNAs, in association with their interacting partners, regulate the expression of various immune system genes, which are perturbed during cancer. The tissue-specific expression of lncRNAs and their importance in cellular proliferation, the tumor microenvironment (TME), epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and modulation of the cells of the innate and adaptive immune system have novel therapeutic implications in establishing lncRNAs as biomarkers and targets to overcome cancer-associated immunosuppression. In this review, we establish and strengthen the link between lncRNAs and cancer immunity.
