Cleft lip and palate is one of the most common congenital birth defects and has a complex etiology. Either genetic or environmental factors, or both, are involved at various degrees, and the type and severity of clefts vary. One of the longstanding questions is how environmental factors lead to craniofacial developmental anomalies. Recent studies highlight non-coding RNAs as potential epigenetic regulators in cleft lip and palate. In this review, we will discuss microRNAs, a type of small non-coding RNAs that can simultaneously regulate expression of many downstream target genes, as a causative mechanism of cleft lip and palate in humans and mice.
唇腭裂是最常见的先天性出生缺陷之一,其病因复杂。遗传或环境因素,或两者都在不同程度上参与其中,并且唇腭裂的类型和严重程度也有所不同。长期以来的一个问题是环境因素如何导致颅面发育异常。最近的研究强调了非编码 RNA 作为唇腭裂的潜在表观遗传调节剂。在这篇综述中,我们将讨论 microRNAs,作为一种可以同时调节许多下游靶基因表达的小非编码 RNA 类型,作为人类和小鼠唇腭裂的致病机制。
