Long Noncoding RNACircular RNA-miRNA-mRNA Axes in Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Abstract EN

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) elicits tissue injury involved in a wide range of pathologies.

Multiple studies have demonstrated that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), including long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs), participate in the pathological development of IRI, and they may act as biomarkers, therapeutic targets, or prognostic indicators.

Nonetheless, the specific molecular mechanisms of ncRNAs in IRI have not been completely elucidated.

Regulatory networks among lncRNAs/circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs have been the focus of attention in recent years.

Studies on the underlying molecular mechanisms have contributed to the discovery of therapeutic targets or strategies in IRI.

In this review, we comprehensively summarize the current research on the lncRNA/circRNA-miRNA-mRNA axes and highlight the important role of these axes in IRI.
