Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are broadly described as RNA molecules that are not translated into protein. The investigation of dysregulated ncRNAs in human diseases such as cancer, neurological, and cardiovascular diseases has been under way for well over a decade. Micro-RNAs and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are the best characterized ncRNAs. These ncRNAs can have profound effects on the regulation of gene expression during cardiac development and disease. Importantly, ncRNAs are significant regulators of gene expression in several congenital heart diseases and can positively or negatively impact cardiovascular development. In this review, we focus on literature involving micro-RNAs and lncRNAs in the context of pediatric cardiovascular diseases, preclinical models of heart failure, and cardiac development.
非编码 RNA(ncRNA)通常被描述为不能翻译成蛋白质的 RNA 分子。十多年来,人们一直在研究 ncRNA 在癌症、神经和心血管疾病等人类疾病中的失调情况。microRNAs 和长非编码 RNA(lncRNA)是研究得最为透彻的 ncRNA。这些 ncRNA 在心脏发育和疾病过程中对基因表达的调控有深远的影响。重要的是,ncRNA 是几种先天性心脏病中基因表达的重要调控因子,可以对心血管发育产生积极或消极的影响。在这篇综述中,我们主要关注与儿科心血管疾病、心力衰竭的临床前模型和心脏发育相关的 microRNA 和 lncRNA 的文献。
