Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a kind of biomolecule that can regulate important life activities such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, aging, and body development. It has been found that lncRNAs are closely related to various diseases. In cardiovascular diseases, lncRNAs affect the expression level of related genes in atherosclerotic plaques, which are closely related to endothelial dysfunction, smooth muscle cell proliferation, macrophage dysfunction, abnormal lipid metabolism, and cellular autophagy, thus participating in regulating the occurrence and development of AS. In view of this, investigating the role of lncRNAs in regulating cardiac gene networks on cardiovascular system diseases has attracted much clinical attention and may be a novel target for AS therapy. This paper focuses on lncRNAs related to AS, explores the relationship between lncRNAs and AS, suggests the role of lncRNAs in the prevention and treatment of AS, and expects the application of more lncRNAs as the marker in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of AS.
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNA with a length greater than 200 nt. It has a mRNA-like structure, formed by splicing after transcription, and contains a polyA tail and a promoter, of whom promoter plays a role by binding transcription factors. LncRNAs’ sequences are low in conservation, and other species can only find a handful of the same lncRNAs as humans, and there are different splicing ways during the differentiation of identical species, with spatiotemporal expression specificity. With developing high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics, found that more and more lncRNAs associated with nervous system disease. This article deals with the regulation of certain lncRNAs in the nervous system disease, by mean of to understand its mechanism of action, and the pathogenesis of some neurological diseases have a fresh understanding, deposit a foundation for resulting research and clinical treatment of disease.
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.
