| خلاصه مقاله | Introduction
Ovarian cancer is a malignancy of the female reproductive system and is
the third most common cancer among all cancers in women. Due to the
fact patients are diagnosed in advanced stages, it is the fifth cause of
cancer death among women [1, 2]. Despite the emergence of different
new and advanced therapeutic approaches, debulking surgery and
chemotherapy are the most common treatments [3]. In addition to other
therapeutic challenges, drug resistance is still an obstacle in ovarian
cancer treatment [4]. Hence, it is required to investigate more in the field
of target therapy and find new probable targets.
long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a kind of non-coding RNAs of
length exceeding 200 nucleotides [5]. LncRNAs have a crucial
modulatory role in various biological processes such as growth,
differentiation, chromatin remodeling, etc., consistent with their broadspectrum expression pattern, their acceptable balance in body fluids such
as urine and plasma, and cell-specificity [6-10]. Changes in their
expression levels and numerous mechanisms are the reasons that
lncRNAs cause cancer by undergoing them [11].Methods
In this paper, we searched ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Scholar, Scopus,
and Science Direct for literature reports on NEAT1 in OC, and articles
published until 2023 were considered. The search terms used in the
review include “ovarian cancer”, “long non-coding RNA”, and “NEAT1”.
Result
Nuclear Para speckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1), is an imperative
structural component to the creation of paraspeckles, which regulates
various gene expressions [12]. In addition to the usual characteristics of
lncRANAs, NEAT1 is involved in the advent of the corpus luteum,
placenta, mammary glands, immune response, and multiple diseases,
including cancers specifically ovarian cancer [13-19]. The role of NEAT1
in ovarian cancer has been investigated by previous studies. Reported
results indicate the high expression levels of NEAT1 in ovarian cancer
patients and pinpoint the oncogenic feature of NEAT1 in this cancer[20].
Meanwhile, resistance to drugs used in chemotherapy is a major problem
associated with NEAT1 [21, 22]. This unfortunate outcome occurs due to
interactions between NEAT1 and various miRNAs, as well as
proteins.[23]Conclusion
In this review we described the molecular mechanisms of NEAT1-
involved drug resistance in OC, indicating a valuable target to overcome
chemo resistance and improve therapeutic outcome in ovarian cancer
patients. |
