Non-coding RNAs are classified as small non-coding RNAs, long non-coding RNAs and circular RNAs, which are involved in a variety of biological processes, including cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and pathological conditions of various diseases. Many studies have shown that non-coding RNAs are related to spermatogenesis, maturation, apoptosis, function, etc. In addition, the expression of non-coding RNAs in testicular tissue and semen of patients with non-obstructive azoospermia was different. However, the role of non-coding RNAs in the pathogenesis of non-obstructive azoospermia has not been fully elucidated, and the role of non-coding RNAs in non-obstructive azoospermia is rarely reviewed. Here we summarize the research progress of non-coding RNAs in the pathogenesis of non-obstructive azoospermia.
非编码 RNA 分为小非编码 RNA、长非编码 RNA 和环状 RNA，它们参与多种生物学过程，包括细胞分化、增殖、凋亡和各种疾病的病理状态。许多研究表明，非编码 RNA 与精子发生、成熟、凋亡、功能等有关。此外，非梗阻性无精子症患者睾丸组织和精液中非编码 RNA 的表达不同。然而，非编码 RNA 在非梗阻性无精子症发病机制中的作用尚未完全阐明，非编码 RNA 在非梗阻性无精子症中的作用很少被综述。本文总结了非编码 RNA 在非梗阻性无精子症发病机制中的研究进展。
