Mechanisms of lncRNA function and tumor immune microenvironment. (A) LncRNA regulate their targets via various mechanisms, including both the transcriptional and post transcriptional levels. (1) MicroRNA sponge; (2) interaction with protein; (3) interaction with mRNA; (4) peptide formation; (5) lncRNA in MVBs; (6) Chromatin modification; (7) DNA interaction. (B) Components of the tumor immune microenvironment. The tumor immune microenvironment is a complex ecosystem, consist of cancer cells, immune cells, and vascular network, etc. Induced by the cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors, tumor-infiltrating immune cells of both the myeloid and lymphoid lineages are recruited and activated.
