Chronic diabetic wounds affect the quality of life of patients, resulting in significant social and economic burdens on both individuals and the health care system. Although treatment methods for chronic diabetic wounds have been explored, there remains a lack of effective treatment strategies; therefore, alternative strategies must be explored. Recently, the abnormal expression of non-coding RNA in diabetic wounds has received widespread attention since it is an important factor in the development of diabetic wounds. This article reviews the regulatory role of three common non-coding RNAs (microRNA [miRNA], long non-coding RNA [lncRNA], and circular RNA [circRNA]) in diabetic wounds and discusses the diagnosis, treatment potential, and challenges of non-coding RNA in diabetic wounds. This article provides insights into new strategies for diabetic wound diagnosis and treatment at the genetic and molecular levels. ncRNA ncRNA refers to a type of RNA that does not encode protein. In the past, it has been shown to participate in a variety of biological processes and play important transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory functions. 18 ncRNAs are divided into two categories based on the length of the RNA chain; lncRNA have lengths greater than 200 nucleotides, and small ncRNAs (snRNA) have lengths less than 200 nucleotides. snRNAs can be subdivided into miRNAs and circRNAs. 19 miRNAs inhibit the expression of target genes by binding to the 3 0 untranslated region (3 0 UTR) of the target mRNA. 20 The miRNA gene is processed and cleaved by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) enzyme and endonuclease Drosha III to produce pre-miRNA, which is
