Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) pose a significant burden on global health. Developing effective diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic indicators for CVDs is critical. This narrative review explores the role of select non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and provides an in-depth exploration of the roles of miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs in different aspects of CVDs, offering insights into their mechanisms and potential clinical implications. The review also sheds light on the diverse functions of ncRNAs, including their modulation of gene expression, epigenetic modifications, and signaling pathways. It comprehensively analyzes the interplay between ncRNAs and cardiovascular health, paving the way for potential novel interventions. Finally, the review provides insights into the methodologies used to investigate ncRNA-mediated gene regulation in CVDs, as well as the implications and challenges associated with translating ncRNA research into clinical applications. Considering the broader implications, this research opens avenues for interdisciplinary collaborations, enhancing our understanding of CVDs across scientific disciplines.
心血管疾病(CVDs)对全球健康构成重大负担。开发有效的 CVDs 诊断、治疗和预后指标至关重要。本叙述性评论探讨了选择非编码 RNA(ncRNA)的作用,并深入探讨了 miRNA、lncRNA 和 circRNA 在 CVDs 不同方面的作用,深入了解其机制和潜在的临床意义。该评论还揭示了 ncRNA 的多种功能,包括其对基因表达、表观遗传修饰和信号通路的调节。它全面分析了 ncRNA 与心血管健康之间的相互作用,为潜在的新干预措施铺平了道路。最后,该评论提供了对用于研究 CVDs 中 ncRNA 介导的基因调控的方法的见解,以及将 ncRNA 研究转化为临床应用的意义和挑战。考虑到更广泛的影响,这项研究为跨学科合作开辟了途径,增强了我们在不同科学学科中对 CVDs 的理解。
