Progress on the mechanisms of microRNA in regulating the chemotherapy resistance of gastric cancer / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Gastric cancer is a kind of disease with high incidence and mortality rate,most gastric cancer cases are diagnosed in an advanced,and chemotherapy is the main treatment.Drug resistance is one of the most important causes of therapy failure in gastric cancer patients.It has revealed that the mechanism of tumor resistance mainly involves alterations in cell cycle and proliferation,enhanced DNA repair capacity,defective apoptosis,damaged host immune,altered metabolism of drugs and so on.In recent years,an important molecule-microRNA(miRNA)that regulates the biological behavior of cell has attracted more and more attention.Studies have confirmed that numerous miRNAs can regulate the drug resistance of gastric cancer cells via BCL-2 signaling pathway,PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway,ABCB1(MDR1/P-gp),autophagy,cell cycle and so on.
