Non-small cell lung cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancer with a very high mortality rate. Trying to understand the mechanisms underlying the progression of this type of cancer, it is necessary to evaluate the changes occurring at molecular level in cancer cells. Besides the widely studied signaling pathways and genes which are dysregulated in NSCLC, there is a large group of non-coding RNAs involved in cancer pathogenesis. Those RNAs are tissue specific heterogeneous class of RNAs that play many functions in physiological condition in cells, nevertheless current data has shown that lncRNAs are also functional in different types of cancer. Moreover, it has been suggest that lncRNAs are involved in cancer progression by controlling key signaling pathways involved in diverse types of tumors. Notch signaling is one of those pathways, very often deregulated in NSCLC. Therefore in this review I summarized recent outcomes according the importance of lncRNAs in regulation of Notch pathway in the pathogenesis of NSCLC.

Background/Aims: Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide due to its high incidence, malignant behavior and lack of major advancements in treatment strategy. The occurrence and development of lung cancer is closely related to inflammation. Thus, we conducted the present study to investigate the effects of IL-35 (Interleukin 35), a newly identified anti-inflammatory factor, on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which accounts for about 85% of all lung cancers. Methods: We first evaluated the IL-35 expression in 384 pairs of NSCLC samples and their adjacent normal mucosa by realtime PCR, ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunoassay) and tissue microarrays. Then the role of IL-35 on patient survival rates, cancer progression and their sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs were assessed. Results: IL-35 was barely expressed in the NSCLC tissues but highly expressed in the adjacent normal tissues. The down-regulation of IL-35 was significantly correlated with the results of American Joint Committee on Cancer stage, differentiation and it was also shown to be an independent prognostic indicator of disease-free survival and overall survival for patients with NSCLC. Overexpression of IL-35 in NSCLC cells suppressed cell migration, invasion, proliferation, colony formation through suppressing β-catenin. IL-35 inhibited NSCLC formation in the mice model and sensitize the cancer cells to chemotherapy drugs. Conclusion: Our results showed that IL-35 plays an inhibitory role in NSCLC development and function as a novel prognostic indicator and a potential therapeutic target.
