Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as crucial regulators of gene expression, influencing a wide array of physiological and pathological processes. Among these, Nuclear Enriched Abundant Transcript 1 (NEAT1), an essential component of nuclear paraspeckles, has garnered significant attention for its diverse roles in various diseases, including immune-related disorders and certain cancers. While the involvement of lncRNAs in dermatologic conditions is an expanding field, the specific implications of NEAT1 in the onset and progression of skin diseases remain largely underexplored. This review aims to consolidate current knowledge regarding the multifaceted roles of NEAT1 in skin biology and pathology. Here, we summarize available evidence on NEAT1 in skin disorders, emphasizing its roles in regulating keratinocyte biology, modulating inflammatory pathways, and influencing disease progression. By consolidating current findings, the review provides a framework for understanding the potential role of NEAT1 as a biomarker and therapeutic target in dermatologic conditions.
