Abstract

The in-depth exploration of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) reveals their pivotal and diverse roles in various disorders, particularly cancer. Within this intricate landscape, thymopoietin-antisense RNA-1 (TMPO-AS1) emerges as a noteworthy instigator of oncogenesis in humans. This exhaustive review seeks to intricately unravel the present understanding of TMPO-AS1, emphasizing its molecular foundations and highlighting its clinical applications in the realm of cancer research. TMPO-AS1 consistently exhibits heightened expression across a spectrum of cancer types, encompassing lung, colorectal, breast, cervical, bladder, pancreatic, hepatocellular, gastric, ovarian, and osteosarcoma. Elevated levels of TMPO-AS1 are intricately linked to unfavorable prognoses, accompanied by distinctive clinical and pathological characteristics. Functionally, TMPO-AS1 showcases its prowess in enhancing cancer cell migration, invasion, proliferation, and orchestrating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through a myriad of molecular mechanisms. These mechanisms entail intricate interactions with proteins, microRNAs, and intricate signaling pathways. Furthermore, TMPO-AS1 is intricately involved in regulating critical cellular processes, including apoptosis and the cell cycle. The mounting evidence converges towards the potential of TMPO-AS1 serving as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker, further entwined with its potential role in influencing chemoresistance in cancer. This potential is underscored by its consistent associations with clinical outcomes and treatment responses. This comprehensive investigation not only consolidates our existing knowledge of TMPO-AS1's multifaceted roles but also sheds illuminating insights on its profound significance in the intricate landscape of cancer biology, paving the way for potential applications in clinical practice. © 2024 Elsevier GmbH
