Simple Summary Chemoresistance and metastasis are the main causes of treatment failure in cancers. Autophagy contribute to the survival and metastasis of cancer cells. Competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA), particularly long non-coding RNAs and circular RNA (circRNA), can bridge the interplay between autophagy and chemoresistance or metastasis in cancers via sponging miRNAs. This review aims to discuss on the function of ceRNA-mediated autophagy in the process of metastasis and chemoresistance in cancers. ceRNA network can sequester the targeted miRNA expression to indirectly upregulate the expression of autophagy-related genes, and thereof participate in autophagy-mediated chemoresistance and metastasis. Our clarification of the mechanism of autophagy regulation in metastasis and chemoresistance may greatly improve the efficacy of chemotherapy and survival in cancer patients. The combination of the tissue-specific miRNA delivery and selective autophagy inhibitors, such as hydroxychloroquine, is attractive to treat cancer patients in the future. Chemoresistance and metastasis are the main causes of treatment failure and unfavorable outcome in cancers. There is a pressing need to reveal their mechanisms and to discover novel therapy targets. Autophagy is composed of a cascade of steps controlled by different autophagy-related genes (ATGs). Accumulating evidence suggests that dysregulated autophagy contributes to chemoresistance and metastasis via competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks including lncRNAs and circRNAs. ceRNAs sequester the targeted miRNA expression to indirectly upregulate ATGs expression, and thereof participate in autophagy-mediated chemoresistance and metastasis. Here, we attempt to summarize the roles of ceRNAs in cancer chemoresistance and metastasis through autophagy regulation.
