Fig. 4From: Long non-coding RNAs towards precision medicine in gastric cancer: early diagnosis, treatment, and drug resistanceLncRNAs regulate autophagy-mediated chemoresistance. The process of autophagy is divided into five distinct stages: initiation, vesicle nucleation, vesicle elongation, vesicle fusion, and cargo degradation. LncRNAs act as a ceRNA, directly bind to mRNAs or proteins, and regulate autophagy-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) by targeting ATGs or ATG-LC3 complexBack to article page
