The process of cancer metastasis consists of a series of sequential and complex steps. Here we give a perspective on recent results of non-coding transcription in cancer progression, focusing on the emerging role of long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs). LincRNAs target chromatin modification complexes or RNA binding proteins to alter gene expressing programs. Similar to miRNAs, lincRNAs exhibit distinct gene expression patterns in primary tumors and metastases. We discuss how lincRNAs can be utilized for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and serve as potential therapeutic targets.
