Abstract

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common malignant tumor and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although numerous studies have been conducted on advanced GC, the molecular mechanisms behind it remain obscure. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a family of RNA transcripts capable of regulating target genes at transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and translational stages. They do this by modifying mRNAs, miRNAs, and proteins. These RNAs are critical regulators of many biological processes, including gene epigenetics, transcription, and post-transcriptional levels. This article highlights recent results on lncRNAs involved in drug resistance, proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, apoptosis, autophagy, and immune response in GC. The potential clinical implications of lncRNAs as biomarkers and therapeutic targets in GC are also discussed. © 2022 Elsevier GmbH
