Abstract:
Chemotherapy is one of the most important treatments for cancer therapy. However, chemotherapy resistance is a big challenge in cancer treatment. Due to chemotherapy resistance, drugs become less effective or no longer effective at all. In recent years, long non-coding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) has been found to be associated with the development of chemotherapy resistance, suggesting that MALAT1 may be an important target to overcome chemotherapy resistance. In this review, we introduced the main mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance associated with MALAT1, which may provide new approaches for cancer treatment.
