ABSTRACT
Gastric cancer (GC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with high recurrence and mortality rate. Chemotherapy, including 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), adriamycin (ADR), vincristine (VCR), paclitaxel (PTX), and platinum drugs, remains one of the fundamental methods of GC treatment and has efficiently improved patients' prognosis. However, most patients eventually develop resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, leading to the failure of clinical treatment and patients' death. Recent studies suggest that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the drug resistance of GC by modulating the expression of drug resistance-related genes via sponging microRNAs (miRNAs). Moreover, lncRNAs also play crucial roles in GC drug resistance via a variety of mechanisms, such as the regulation of the oncogenic signaling pathways, inhibition of apoptosis, induction of autophagy, modulation of cancer stem cells (CSCs), and promotion of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Some of lncRNAs exhibit great potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, as well as therapeutic targets for GC patients. Therefore, understanding the role of lncRNAs and their mechanisms in GC drug resistance may provide us with novel insights for developing strategies for individual diagnosis and therapy. In this review, we summarize the recent findings on the mechanisms underlying GC drug resistance regulated by lncRNAs. We also discuss the potential clinical applications of lncRNAs as biomarkers and therapeutic targets in GC.
