Noncoding RNA in tumors. There are two types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in tumor cells: short/small ncRNAs and long ncRNAs. Short/small ncRNAs include at least four types: microRNAs (miRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), and piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). Long ncRNAs include common lncRNAs, circular RNAs (circRNAs), and pseudogenes. These ncRNAs are aberrantly expressed in all types of human cancers and are involved in tumor progression, including tumor occurrence, development, recurrence, drug resistance, invasion, and metastasis.
