摘要
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of RNAs whose transcripts are more than 200 nucleotides in length and lack protein-coding ability. Taurine-upregulated gene 1 (TUG1), a novel cancer-related lncRNA, has been documented to be abnormally expressed in various types of cancers and act as an oncogene or anti-oncogene. It has been considered previously that TUG1 is closely related to the cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and apoptosis of cancer. In recent years, it has been found that TUG1 acts as a microRNA (miRNA) sponge to indirectly regulate the expression of the miRNA target gene and dominates cancer progression in several types of cancers. However, TUG1 also binds to different miRNAs to produce diverse regulatory mechanisms in the same cancer. TUG1 is expected to be a biomarker and a new therapeutic target for the diagnosis and prognosis of certain cancers. In this review, we highlight the up-to-date original studies that focus on the role of TUG1 sponging miRNA in cancers and summarize the function of TUG1 in cancer progression. The novel TUG1-miRNA regulatory network is comprehensively and minutely included in this review. We hope that this review will help readers obtain a more detailed knowledge of the molecular mechanism by which TUG1 sponging miRNA plays its role in cancers, and provide some insights and directions for future cancer research.
