They exert their influence through various mechanisms, such as interacting with DNA, mRNA, and proteins, which allows them to modulate a wide array of biological processes. Recent studies have underscored the importance of lncRNAs in the development of the nervous system and the pathogenesis of neurological diseases, particularly in the context of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, caused by reduced blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain, is a leading cause of long-term neurological deficits. This review delves into the emerging role of lncRNAs in hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, exploring how these non-coding RNAs influence critical molecular and cellular pathways involved in the brain's response to hypoxia-ischemia. Notable advancements, such as the identification of lncRNAs, like BC088414 and FosDT, highlight their dual roles as mediators of injury and potential therapeutic targets. Additionally, we discuss the feasibility of lncRNAs as biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Despite these advancements, challenges remain in translating lncRNA research into clinical applications. Issues, such as delivery mechanisms, off-target effects, and the ethical considerations surrounding gene modulation, must be addressed. By synthesizing current research, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted roles of lncRNAs in hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, paving the way for future research and novel therapeutic strategies targeting these non-coding RNAs in neurological disorders.</p>","PeriodicalId":10845,"journal":{"name":"Current pharmaceutical design","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143968842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While it protects the brain from toxins and pathogens, it also restricts the delivery of therapeutic agents, posing a significant challenge in treating CNS disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and glioblastoma. This manuscript explores the structural and functional complexity of the BBB, including the roles of tight junctions, adherens junctions, astrocytes, pericytes, and endothelial cells. It highlights the influence of drug physicochemical properties, such as lipophilicity, molecular weight, and hydrogen bonding, on BBB penetration. Current strategies to enhance drug delivery include nanotechnology-based carriers (liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, polymer-based carriers), receptor-mediated transcytosis, and cell-penetrating peptides. Emerging approaches like focused ultrasound with microbubbles, intranasal delivery, and exosome-mediated transport demonstrate significant potential for bypassing BBB constraints. Gene therapy, employing both viral and nonviral vectors, offers promise for addressing genetic CNS disorders. Despite advances, limitations, such as offtarget effects, limited delivery efficiency, and potential toxicity, remain critical barriers to clinical translation. Future research must prioritize multidisciplinary approaches integrating nanotechnology, personalized medicine, and enhanced understanding of BBB biology. Innovations in non-invasive, targeted delivery systems are essential to overcoming existing challenges and enabling effective treatment of CNS disorders. This review underscores the need for further exploration of these technologies to achieve sustained, site-specific drug delivery, thereby advancing therapeutic interventions for neurological diseases.

The potential mechanism of action for QUF6 may involve modulation of TNF, IL6, IL1B, BCL2, PTSG2, TP53, and EGF to regulate oxidative stress levels, inflammation responses, and apoptosis processes associated with hypothyroidism during IVF-ET.</p>","PeriodicalId":10845,"journal":{"name":"Current pharmaceutical design","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143972778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
