Abstract
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have recently become increasingly important in the study of cellular metabolism and regulation such as development, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. However, the functions of most ncRNAs have remained largely unknown. Recently, studies have begun to characterize the aberrant regulation of ncRNAs in gastric cancer (GC) cells and tissues. These ncRNAs have a close relationship with drug resistance, and with the occurrence, development, invasion and metastasis of tumors, so they could possibly become new therapeutic targets and treatment tools for GC in the future. The present review summarized current advances in our knowledge of the roles of ncRNAs in GC.
