Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the gene expression regulation and usually play important roles in various human cancers, including the renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Dysregulation of certain lncRNAs are associated with the prognosis of patients with RCC. In the present review, several recently studied lncRNAs were discussed and their critical roles in proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis and drug resistance of renal cancer cells were revealed. The research on lncRNAs further increases our understanding on the development and progression of RCC. It is suggested that lncRNAs can be used as biomarkers or therapeutic targets for diagnosis or treatment of renal cancer.
