Objective  To summarize the latest research progress of tumor energy metabolism regulated by long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). Method  Literatures about the recent studies on the bioenergetic metabolic mechanisms regulated by lncRNA in tumor cells were reviewed according to the results searched from PubMed database, Springer database, HighWire database, and so on. Results  Aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect) was regarded as the most important characteristics of energy metabolism in tumor cells. lncRNA could regulate many key progressions involved energy metabolism in tumor cells, such as glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and glutamine metabolism, resulting in accelerated uptake of glucose, decomposition of glutamine, and formation of lipid. Conclusions  The functions and mechanisms of energy metabolism in tumor cells regulated by lncRNA are entirely unclear. The role of lncRNA played in cancer needs to be understood, which may contribute to new tumor biomarker detection and effective treatment strategies.
