摘要: |
胃癌是威胁人类健康的主要恶性肿瘤之一,其发生涉及多步骤、多基因的相互作用过程。上皮间质转化(EMT)是上皮细胞通过特定程序转化为有间质表型细胞的过程。研究表明长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)可以通过与靶蛋白结合、作为竞争性内源RNA竞争微RNA等方式促进或抑制EMT过程,且许多特异表达的EMT相关lncRNA与胃癌的侵袭、转移密切相关。本文主要就EMT相关lncRNA在胃癌侵袭和转移中的调控机制作一综述。 |

Abstract: |
Gastric cancer is one of the main malignancies threatening human health, and its occurrence involves multistep and multigene interactions. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a biological process in which epithelial cells transform to mesenchymal phenotypic cells through specific procedures. Studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can promote or inhibit EMT by binding to target proteins and competing microRNAs as competitive endogenous RNAs, and some specific EMT-related lncRNAs are deeply involved in the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer. In this review, we summarized the recent mechanisms of EMT-related lncRNAs in the regulating the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer. |
