BackgroundMounting evidence has shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can play a substantial role in gallbladder cancer (GBC) development as tumor promotors or suppressors, and their abnormal expression is relevant to GBC patient outcomes. We completed this systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the clinical significance and mechanisms of lncRNAs in GBC.MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive literature search and selected eligible records according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) were extracted or calculated to estimate the relationships of high lncRNA expression with GBC patient survival and clinical outcomes.ResultsEighteen studies were identified as eligible for this systematic review and meta-analysis. Heterogeneity among HRs of overall survival (OS) was notably high (I-2=86.2%, p<0.001). Subgroup analysis suggested that overexpression of lncRNAs in a group that is upregulated in GBC showed a significant association with poor OS (HR=2.454, 95% CI 2.004-3.004, I-2=0%). Conversely, overexpression of lncRNAs in a downregulated group was markedly related to good OS (HR=0.371, 95% CI 0.267-0.517, I-2=0%). High expression levels of lncRNA AFAP1-AS1, MALAT1 and ROR were positively correlated with tumor size. Expression of lncRNA LET, LINC00152 and HEGBC exhibited a positive correlation with high T status. LncRNA LINC00152, HEGBC, MALAT1 and ROR showed a marked correlation with positive lymph node metastasis (LNM), while lncRNA GCASPC, MEG3, LET and UCA1 had the opposite effect. High expression levels of lncRNA HEGBC, PAGBC, PVT1 and UCA1 predicted high tumor node metastasis (TNM) stages, while lncRNA LET, GCASPC and MEG3 indicated low TNM stages. We also summarized the mechanisms of lncRNAs in GBC.ConclusionAberrant expression of several lncRNAs was indicative of the prognosis of GBC patients, and lncRNAs showed promise as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for GBC.
