Glioma is the most common type of cancer in the brain and central nervous system,mainly originated from glioma cells or neuronal cells.It is characterized by high prevalence,recurrence rate and mortality.Among aggressive brain tumors,the incidence of glioma is the highest.Long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)is one of the most popular non-coding RNAs in tumor research.It has a variety of biological functions and regulates gene expression at the transcription,post-transcription and genetic levels.It was found that lncRNA was abnormally expressed in cancer patients,and abnormally expressed lncRNA was also found in glioma.lncRNA regulates the occurrence and development of gliomas through different signaling pathways,and affects the heterogeneity and invasiveness of gliomas through the glycolytic pathway.In addition,immune-related lncRNAs are valuable in evaluating the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of gliomas.In this article,the role of lncRNA in glioma will be reviewed from three aspects including regulation of signaling pathway,glycolytic pathway and immunoregulation.

Glioma is a malignant tumor with extremely high rates of recurrence. Clinically ,with the prolongation of the use of chemotherapy drugs ,the drug resistance of glioma cells to chemotherapy drugs is also increasing ,which eventually leads to poor prognosis and shortens overall survival time of patients. It is well known that the development of drug resistance involves multiple mechanisms,including drug transport metabolism ,apoptosis,DNA damage repair ,autophagy,variation of cancer stem cells and epithelial mesenchymal transition. Abnormal expression of circular RNA (circRNA),a novel RNA molecule with unique stability and tissue specificity ,has been shown by more and more evidence to play a crucial regulatory role in the development of drug resistance in glioma. This paper systematically reviews the mechanism of multiple drug resistance in glioma ,and focuses on the role and molecular mechanism of circRNA regulating temozolomide-resistance in glioma. At the same time ,the potential function of circRNA as a new therapeutic target is prospected ,in order to provide an objective theoretical basis for the development of new therapeutic methods.
