Abstrakt: The cell cycle is controlled by guardian proteins that coordinate the process of cell growth and cell division. Alterations in these processes lead to genome instability, which has a causal link to many human diseases. Beyond their well-characterized role of influencing protein-coding genes, an increasing body of evidence has revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) actively participate in regulation of the cell cycle and safeguarding of genome integrity. LncRNAs are versatile molecules that act via a wide array of mechanisms. In this review, we discuss how lncRNAs are implicated in control of the cell cycle and maintenance of genome stability and how changes in lncRNA-regulatory networks lead to proliferative diseases such as cancer.
