Abstract
Glycolysis is implicated in the onset and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) through its influence on the proliferation, invasiveness, chemoresistance and immune system evasion of neoplasm cells. Increasing evidence has shown that the abnormal expression of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), especially microRNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), in CRC is closely related to glycolysis. In this review, we present a synthesis of the latest research insights into the modulatory roles and distinct pathways of ncRNAs in the glycolytic process in CRC. This knowledge may pave the way for identifying novel therapeutic targets, as well as novel prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for CRC.
