ABSTRACT
Long noncoding RNA(IncRNA) represents a class of >200bp RNA genes that has no ability to code proteins.It was considered that IncRNA is "junk RNA" which have no function over the last couple of decades.However,an increasing number of studies have found that lncRNA play distinct biologic functions by particular mechanisms.Because the incidence rate and mortality rate of atherosclerosis is very high,people always pay a lot of attention on it.But lncRNA studies in atherosclerosis are just beginning.lncRNA may be a key target in the progression of atherosclerosis and may become a novel therapeutic target to prevent,diagnose and treat this disease.
