Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic bone and joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degeneration and joint inflammation and is the most common form of arthritis. The clinical manifestations of OA are chronic pain and joint activity disorder, which severely affect the patient quality of life. Long non‑coding RNA (lncRNA) is a class of RNA molecules >200 nucleotides long that are expressed in animals, plants, yeast, prokaryotes and viruses. lncRNA molecules lack an open reading frame and are not translated into protein. The present review collated the results of recent studies on the role of lncRNA in the pathogenesis of OA to provide information for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of OA.
骨关节炎(OA)是一种慢性骨骼和关节疾病,其特征为关节软骨退化和关节炎症,是最常见的关节炎类型。OA 的临床表现为慢性疼痛和关节活动障碍,严重影响患者的生活质量。长链非编码 RNA(lncRNA)是一类长度大于 200 个核苷酸的 RNA 分子,在动物、植物、酵母、原核生物和病毒中表达。lncRNA 分子缺乏开放阅读框,不翻译成蛋白质。本综述对 lncRNA 在 OA 发病机制中的作用的最新研究结果进行了整理,以期为 OA 的预防、诊断和治疗提供信息。
