Abstract
Recent discoveries demonstrate the importance of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in the regulation of multiple major processes impacting development, differentiation, and metastasis of hematological diseases through epigenetic mechanisms. In contrast to genetic changes, epigenetic modification does not modify genes but is frequently reversible, thus providing opportunities for targeted treatment using specific inhibitors. In this review, we will summarize the function and epigenetic mechanism of lncRNA in malignant hematologic diseases.Entities:
