Research advances on the role of long non-coding RNA in myocardial reperfusion injury / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Long non-coding RNA plays an increasingly important role in transcriptional, post-transcriptional and epigenetic levels. In ischemic heart disease, most studies on long non-coding RNA focused on myocardial infarction, hypertrophy and fibrosis, and a few of reports directly focused on the pathological process of myocardial reperfusion injury. Thus, the purpose of this review is to introduce the processes of long non-coding RNA in myocardial reperfusion injury field, aiming to provide a novel research and theraputic method for exploring the mechanism and molecular regulation network involed with reperfusion injury.
