Abstract: |
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) belong to a large and complex family of RNAs, which play many
important roles in regulating gene expression. However, the mechanism underlying the dynamic expression
of lncRNAs is still not very clear. In order to identify lncRNAs and clarify the mechanisms involved, we
collected basic information and highlighted the mechanisms underlying lncRNA expression and regulation.
Overall, lncRNAs are regulated by several similar transcription factors and protein-coding genes. Epigenetic
modification (DNA methylation and histone modification) can also downregulate lncRNA levels in tissues
and cells. Moreover, lncRNAs may be degraded or cleaved via interaction with miRNAs and miRNAassociated protein complexes. Furthermore, alternative RNA splicing (AS) may play a significant role in the
post-transcriptional regulation of lncRNAs. |
