Abstract: HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) is a lncRNA with a length of 2,158 nucleotides and its two terminal domains could combine with different complexes to function at the level of transcription and translation. It overexpresses in many cancers including gastric cancer. HOTAIR could play an oncogenic role in the initiation and progression of gastric cancer through interaction with microRNAs, such as miR-330/618/126 in the PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. HOTAIR single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may have genotype-function and allele-specific effect on gastric cancer by a mechanism that specific SNP could give rise to a variation of HOTAIR and alter the binding site of microRNAs. Both rs920778 T allele and rs4759314 G allele will enhance the susceptibility to gastric cancer in the Chinese populations. In a word, the suppression of HOTAIR and overexpression of downstream microRNAs may be potential therapeutic strategies of gastric cancer related to HOTAIR.
