摘要
Gastric cancer (GC) remains one of the most prevalent tumors worldwide and affects human health due to its high morbidity and mortality. Mechanisms underlying occurrence and development of GC have been widely studied. Studies have revealed reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by cells under oxidative stress (OS) are involved in gastric tumorigenesis, and modulate expression of microRNAs (miRs). As such, miRs have been shown to be associated with OS-related GC. Given the association of OS and miRs in development of GC, this review aims to summarize the relationship between miRs and OS and their role in GC development. Serving as a link between OS and GC, miRs may offer new approaches for gaining a more in-depth understanding of mechanisms of GC and may lead to the identification of new therapeutic approaches against GC.
