Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a type of nucleic acid sequence that exceeds 200 nucleotides in length and cannot encode any complete protein. In recent years, its important regulatory role in various pathophysiological processes has been gradually clarified, however, few studies have reported its role in carcinogenic virus infection. This article summarizes the currently known lncRNAs abnormally expressed in hepatitis B virus-induced hepatocellular carcinoma, and focuses on the mechanisms of lncRNAs regulating the occurrence and development of hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma such as controlling virus replication and host immunity, cell cycle and proliferation, invasion and metastasis, autophagy and apoptosis of liver cancer cells, hoping to provide a theoretical basis for the molecular targeted therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma.
