NORAD Expression Is Associated with Adverse Prognosis in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

TLDR
The data indicate that increased NORAD expression might serve as a novel molecular predictor of poor prognosis in ESCC patients and maybe a potential target for diagnosis and gene therapy.
Abstract
Background: NORAD (non-coding RNA-activated by DNA damage) is a conserved, abundant, and broadly expressed long non-coding RNA, which functions to preserve genome

Emerging roles of long non-coding RNA in cancer.

TL;DR: This article aims to outline different cancer‐associated lncRNA according to their contribution to tumor suppression or tumor promotion based on their most current functional annotations.

LncRNA NORAD is repressed by the YAP pathway and suppresses lung and breast cancer metastasis by sequestering S100P

TL;DR: It is shown that lncRNA NORAD is downregulated in lung and breast cancers, and that NORAD low expression in these cancer types is associated with lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis.

The Functions and Unique Features of LncRNAs in Cancer Development and Tumorigenesis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the biogenesis and features of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that lack protein-coding potential, are an important class of RNA molecules that are involved in a variety of biological functions.

Long noncoding RNA XIST promotes malignancies of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma via regulation of miR-101/EZH2

TL;DR: Conclusively, XIST plays an important role in malignant progression of ESCC via modulation of miR-101/EZH2 axis through inhibition, migration and invasion of esophageal squamous cancer cells in vitro and suppressed tumor growth in vivo.

TL;DR: A substantial portion of cancer cases and deaths could be prevented by broadly applying effective prevention measures, such as tobacco control, vaccination, and the use of early detection tests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global cancer statistics, 2002.

TL;DR: There are striking variations in the risk of different cancers by geographic area, most of the international variation is due to exposure to known or suspected risk factors related to lifestyle or environment, and provides a clear challenge to prevention.

Genome Regulation by Long Noncoding RNAs

TL;DR: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as discussed by the authors form extensive networks of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes with numerous chromatin regulators and then target these enzymatic activities to appropriate locations in the genome.

Long noncoding RNAs and human disease

TL;DR: The evidence linking lncRNAs to diverse human diseases is reviewed and fundamental concepts in lncRNA biology that still need to be clarified are highlighted to provide a robust framework for lnc RNA genetics.
