长链非编码RNA(long non-coding RNAs,1neRNAs)是一类不参与编码蛋白质,长度超过200个核苷酸的转录产物,具有多种生物学功能。研究发现1neRNAs在胃肠道肿瘤的发生、发展过程中发挥着较为重要的作用,影响肿瘤细胞的增生、血管形成、转移和耐药等。本文在总结胃肠道肿瘤相关1ncRNAs的基础上,重点阐述其与胃肠道肿瘤发生、诊断和治疗的关系。
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-coding transcripts which are greater than 200 nucleotides in length and have a variety of biological functions. Studies have found that lncRNAs play an important role in the development of gastrointestinal cancers and can affect tumor cell growth, angiogenesis, metastasis and drug resistance. This paper has reviewed lncRNAs associated with gastrointestinal cancers and explored their roles in the occurrence, diagnosis and treatment o~ gastrointestinal cancers.
