Abstract

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant and aggressive type of glioma. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNAs that do not encode proteins but widely exist in eukaryotic cells. The common characteristics of these RNAs are that they can all be transcribed from the genome without being translated into proteins, thus performing biological functions, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs. Studies have found that ncRNAs are associated with the occurrence and development of GBM, and there is a complex regulatory network among ncRNAs, which can regulate cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis and differentiation, thus provide a basis for the development of highly specific diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies in the future. The present review aimed to comprehensively describe the biogenesis, general features and functions of regulatory ncRNAs in GBM, and to interpret the potential biological functions of these ncRNAs in GBM as well as their impact on clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis and discusses the potential mechanisms of these RNA subtypes leading to cancer in order to contribute to the better design of personalized GBM therapies in the future.
