人类基因组DNA核苷酸序列中约93%能被转录为RNA,其中仅2%的转录产物被翻译为蛋白质,余下98%属于非编码RNA(non-coding RNA,ncRNA)。ncRNA中长度超过200 nt的称为长链非编码RNA(long non-coding RNA,LncRNA),长期以来LncRNA被认为是转录过程中的副产物而不具有生物学功能。近年随着微小RNA(microRNA,miRNA)的研究进展,揭示了ncRNA在人类基因转录后调节、细胞生长、分化、增殖中起着相当重要的作用。同时也提示,相比miRNA,在细胞内转录比例更高的LncRNA具有极其复杂而重要的生物学功能,并与人类疾病密切相关。结合LncRNA的表观遗传学功能及其病理生理意义作一简述。 相似文献

In recent years, the discovery of small ncRNAs (noncoding RNAs) has unveiled a slew of powerful riboregulators of gene expression. So far, many different types of small ncRNAs have been described. Of these, miRNAs (microRNAs), siRNAs (small interfering RNAs), and piRNAs (Piwi‐interacting RNAs) have been studied in more detail. A significant fraction of genes in most organisms and tissues is targets of these small ncRNAs. Because these tiny RNAs are turning out to be important regulators of gene and genome expression, their aberrant expression profiles are expected to be associated with cellular dysfunction and disease. In fact, an ever‐increasing number of studies have implicated miRNAs and siRNAs in human health and disease ranging from metabolic disorders to diseases of various organ systems as well as various forms of cancer. Nevertheless, despite the flurry of research on these small ncRNAs, many aspects of their biology still remain to be understood. The following discussion focuses on some aspects of the biogenesis and function of small ncRNAs with major emphasis on miRNAs since these are the most widespread endogenous small ncRNAs that have been called “micromanagers” of gene expression. Their emerging significance in toxicology is also discussed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
