Abstract:
Background: More and more shreds of evidence show that the occurrence and development
of tumors are closely related to the abnormal expression of LncRNA. A large number of experiments
have found that overexpression or under-expression of MCM3AP-AS1 can affect the occurrence
and development of cancer cells in varying degrees, such as proliferation, invasion, and translocation.
Besides, MCM3AP-AS1 may become a promising target for many tumor biotherapies. This
article reviews the pathophysiological functions and molecular mechanisms of MCM3AP-AS1 in various
tumors.
Methods: This paper systematically summarizes the published literatures in PubMed. The molecular
mechanism of MCM3AP-AS1 in a variety of tumors is reviewed.
Results: The abnormal expression of MCM3AP-AS1 in different tumors is closely related to tumor
proliferation, invasion, and migration. MCM3AP-AS1 mediates or participates in related signaling
pathways to regulate the expression of targeted miRNAs and proteins. MCM3AP-AS1 plays a vital
role in tumor diagnosis and treatment.
Conclusion: LncRNA MCM3AP-AS1 is a feasible tumor marker and a potential therapeutic target for
many kinds of tumors.
