How Do Non-Coding RNAs Contribute to Cancer Epigenetics?
Non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), play a role in regulating gene expression post-transcriptionally. Dysregulation of non-coding RNAs can lead to abnormal gene expression patterns seen in cancer. For example, certain miRNAs can act as oncogenes or tumor suppressors, and their aberrant expression can contribute to cancer development.
