Role of non-coding RNA in immune microenvironment and anticancer therapy of gastric cancer

J Mol Med (Berl). 2022 Dec;100(12):1703-1719. doi: 10.1007/s00109-022-02264-6. Epub 2022 Nov 3.

Abstract

Gastric cancer remains one of the cancers with the highest mortality in the world; therefore, it is very important to investigate its pathogenesis to improve the prognosis of gastric cancer patients. Recently, noncoding RNAs have become a research hotspot in the field of oncology. These RNA molecules play complex roles in the regulation of tumor cells, immune cells, and the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, studying their ability to regulate the gastric cancer immune microenvironment will provide us with a better perspective to understand their potential role in anticancer therapy. In this review, we discuss the regulatory effects of several common noncoding RNAs on the immune microenvironment of gastric cancer and their prospects in anticancer therapy to provide some novel insight into the identification of valuable diagnostic markers and improving the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.

Keywords: Anticancer therapy; Biomarker; Gastric cancer; Immune microenvironment; Non-coding RNA.
