Recent advances in understanding the relationship between long non-coding RNA and atherosclerosis / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) play important roles in many biological processes.However,compared with other types of RNAs,limited research has been conducted on lncRNA,mostly concerning its relationship with tumor,and there are much fewer studies on its relationship with atherosclerosis.In this article,we summarized the latest research findings in this field,with an emphasis on the importance of IncRNA in atherosclerosis.The value of lncRNA in targeted therapy of atherosclerotic disorders is also discussed.
