Stroke is a cerebrovascular circulation disorder with sudden onset, which causes
disorder of ion balance, inflammation, and acidosis, and that in turn induces
ischemia-reperfusion injury, influencing the prognosis of stroke patients. Long
noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are regulatory sequences involved at the
transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic levels, have high specific
expression in the central nervous system, and effectively regulate the
development of the central nervous system and progression of diseases. Stroke
induces changes in the expression of many lncRNAs. Therefore, lncRNAs play an
important role in the complex pathological process of stroke. Exploring lncRNA
could facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the pathological mechanism of
stroke and the post-injury molecular regulatory network. However, there are few
reports on the role of lncRNA in the pathological development of stroke. In the
present review, we discuss the association of lncRNA with post-stroke injury
repair.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
