Xu et al. (2020) carried out a luciferase reporter assay and demonstrated that in cervical cancer, miR-361 reduces the expression of hsp90 directly, and lncRNA NEAT1. Directly downregulates the expression of miR-361. From the two above studies, we can establish a link between the lncRNAs NEAT1, hsp90, ATR and radiation-mediated DNA damage repair. We infer that lncRNA NEAT1 could increase the expression of hsp90 and ATR, DNA damage repair, causing radioresistance. Han et al. (2018) have already revealed that NEAT1 can facilitate radioresistance in cervical cancer. Here, ATR is linked to cervical carcinoma.
