Resumen
The incidence of cancer is increasing worldwide and is becoming the most common cause of death. Identifying new biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis is important for developing cancer treatment strategies and reducing mortality. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-coding, single-stranded RNAs that play an important role as oncogenes or tumor suppressors in the occurrence and development of human tumors. Abnormal expression of human leukocyte antigen complex group 18 (HCG18) is observed in many types of cancer, and its imbalance is closely related to cancer progression. HCG18 regulates cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and anti-apoptosis through a variety of mechanisms. Therefore, HCG18 is a potential tumor biomarker and therapeutic target. However, the therapeutic significance of HCG18 has not been well studied, and future research may develop new intervention strategies to combat cancer. In this study, we reviewed the biological function, mechanism, and potential clinical significance of HCG18 in various cancers to provide a reference for future research.
