Myosin Heavy Chain-Associated RNA Transcripts Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression Through the miR-4529-5p/ROCK2 Axis

Background and Aim Characterization of genetic aberrations provides novel strategies for diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. Accumulating evidence has shown the involvement of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in the pathology of gastric cancer, especially in proliferation and metastasis. The aim of this study was to delineate the role of myosin heavy chain-associated RNA transcripts (MHRT), a heart-specific lncRNA, in gastric cancer and to understand the correlation between MHRT, miR-4529-5p, and ROCK2.
