Mechanism of lncRNA-miRNA-related Signaling Pathways in Gastric Cancer and Chinese Medicine Intervention： A Review / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ABSTRACT

Gastric cancer （GC） is one of the most common malignant tumors in the digestive system， with high morbidity and mortality. Early clinical symptoms of GC are not obvious， and most of them have entered the advanced stage after discovery， which greatly reduces the clinical cure rate and affects the quality of life of patients， and the prognosis is very poor. In recent years， with the continuous exploration in the field of bioinformatics， it has been found that micro-RNA （miRNA） and long non-coding RNA （lncRNA） exist as non-coding RNA （ncRNA） without translation ability， and regulate the expression levels of related signal proteins by acting on a certain target， thereby activating or inhibiting a certain signaling pathway， which plays an important role in assisting diagnosis， guiding clinical medication， and judging prognosis in the progress of GC. Chinese medicine is easily accepted by patients because of its good curative effect and less side effects. In the present basic studies， with the interaction mechanism between miRNA， lncRNA and signaling pathways as the breakthrough point， various studies on the regulation of related signaling molecules and signaling pathways by Chinese medicine have been carried out. A large number of experimental data have proved that the development of GC is closely related to the interaction of miRNA， lncRNA， and related signaling pathways， and Chinese medicine， with multi-target， multi-mechanism， and multi-pathway characteristics， affects various signaling molecules and signaling pathways and intervenes in the progress of GC cells. This paper reviewed the basic research on lncRNA， miRNA molecules， and main signaling pathways involved in the occurrence and development of GC， and summarized specific molecular mechanisms of Chinese medicine in the regulation of each signaling pathway， hoping to provide references for modern research of Chinese medicine in the intervention of GC progress at the molecular level.
