Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, posing significant challenges to healthcare systems. Despite advances in medical interventions, the molecular mechanisms underlying CVDs are not yet fully understood. For decades, protein-coding genes have been the focus of CVD research. However, recent advances in genomics have highlighted the importance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cardiovascular health and disease. Changes in lncRNA expression specific to tissues may result from various internal or external factors, leading to tissue damage, organ dysfunction, and disease. In this review, we provide a comprehensive discussion of the regulatory mechanisms underlying lncRNAs and their roles in the pathogenesis and progression of CVDs, such as coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, heart failure, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, and diabetic cardiomyopathy, to explore their potential as therapeutic targets and diagnostic biomarkers.
期刊介绍:
Non-coding RNA Research aims to publish high quality research and review articles on the mechanistic role of non-coding RNAs in all human diseases. This interdisciplinary journal will welcome research dealing with all aspects of non-coding RNAs-their biogenesis, regulation and role in disease progression. The focus of this journal will be to publish translational studies as well as well-designed basic studies with translational and clinical implications. The non-coding RNAs of particular interest will be microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), U-RNAs/small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), exosomal/extracellular RNAs (exRNAs), Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs. Topics of interest will include, but not limited to: -Regulation of non-coding RNAs -Targets and regulatory functions of non-coding RNAs -Epigenetics and non-coding RNAs -Biological functions of non-coding RNAs -Non-coding RNAs as biomarkers -Non-coding RNA-based therapeutics -Prognostic value of non-coding RNAs -Pharmacological studies involving non-coding RNAs -Population based and epidemiological studies -Gene expression / proteomics / computational / pathway analysis-based studies on non-coding RNAs with functional validation -Novel strategies to manipulate non-coding RNAs expression and function -Clinical studies on evaluation of non-coding RNAs The journal will strive to disseminate cutting edge research, showcasing the ever-evolving importance of non-coding RNAs in modern day research and medicine.
