Research progress on long non-coding RNA in gastric cancer / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Long non-coding RNAs are a novel class of non-protein coding RNA molecules with more than 200 nucleotides in length.Recently, mounting evidence has been demonstrated that lncRNAs play crucial roles in epigenetic modification and gene expression regulation. This review aims to summarize current knowledge of lncRNAs in the carcinogenesis, clinical diagnosis, drug resistance and prognosis prediction of gastric cancer.
