Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an early onset chronic neurological condition in adults characterized by inflammation, demyelination, gliosis, and axonal loss in the central nervous system. The pathological cause of MS is complex and includes both genetic and environmental factors. Non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), specifically miRNAs and lncRNAs, are important regulators of various biological processes. Over the past decade, many studies have investigated both miRNAs and lncRNAs in patients with MS. Since then, insightful knowledge has been gained in this field. Here, we review the role of miRNAs and lncRNAs in MS pathogenesis and discuss their implications for diagnosis and treatment.
多发性硬化症(MS)是一种成人早发性慢性神经疾病,其特征是中枢神经系统出现炎症、脱髓鞘、胶质细胞增生和轴突损失。MS的病理原因复杂,包括遗传和环境因素。非蛋白质编码RNA(ncRNAs),特别是微小RNA(miRNAs)和长链非编码RNA(lncRNAs),是各种生物学过程的重要调节因子。在过去十年中,许多研究对MS患者的miRNAs和lncRNAs都进行了调查。自那时以来,该领域已取得了深刻的认识。在此,我们综述miRNAs和lncRNAs在MS发病机制中的作用,并讨论它们在诊断和治疗方面的意义。
