The Functions of LncRNA in the Heart

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice
Yao Wang, Xianglan Sun

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Recently, increasing evidence has demonstrated that various lncRNAs play critical roles in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. LncRNAs are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides. They are considered a class of dynamic noncoding RNAs known to be involved in physiological and pathological conditions with regulatory and structural roles in numerous biological processes, including genomic imprinting, epigenetic regulation, cell proliferation, development, aging and apoptosis. They are emerging as potential key regulators of a variety of cardiovascular diseases. However, the roles of lncRNAs in the heart function remain largely unknown. The purpose of this review was to summarize the functions of lncRNAs in the heart and discuss the challenges and possible strategies of lncRNA research for cardiovascular disease.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Aging-Associated Metabolic Disorders

Age is associated with many metabolic disorders including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease. The mediators in aging process have been suggested to play a part in the cellular processes responsible for these metabolic disorders. Here is the latest research on aging-associated metabolic disorders.
