[Long Non-coding RNA Act as Regulators of Autophagy in Disease Treatment].

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) refer to transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that have a low coding potential. Autophagy,a unique life phenomenon of eukaryotic cells,removes excess or damaged organelles during cell growth and development and plays a key role in maintaining homeostasis. As a key regulator of cellular metabolism,lncRNA are involved in disease treatment by regulating autophagy. This article summarizes the role of lncRNA in the treatment of cancer,cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases,neurodegenerative diseases,and bacterial infections and analyzes the molecular mechanisms of lncRNA in regulating autophagy,along with prospects of its applications in other areas.
