Scientific research over the past decades has proven the pivotal role of long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) in regulating gene expression. The immune responses are controlled through the interaction of pro-inflammatory (predominance of T helper 17 cells (Th17)) and anti-inflammatory cytokines excretion (predominance of Regulatory T cells (Treg)). Recent studies have marked the impact of many diverse LncRNAs on Treg/Th17 imbalances. Moreover, some of the roots and causes of human diseases can be associated with the alterations in the Th17/Treg ratio. In this review study, we overviewed the association between LncRNAs and Th17/Treg, with the potential of providing novel prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers and promising therapeutic targets in various diseases, particularly cancer.
在过去几十年的科学研究中,长链非编码 RNA(lncRNAs)在调节基因表达方面的关键作用已得到证实。免疫反应是通过促炎(辅助性 T 细胞 17 细胞(Th17)为主导)和抗炎细胞因子分泌(调节性 T 细胞(Treg)为主导)的相互作用来控制的。最近的研究表明,许多不同的 lncRNAs 对 Treg/Th17 失衡有影响。此外,人类疾病的一些根源和原因可能与 Th17/Treg 比值的改变有关。在这项综述研究中,我们综述了 lncRNAs 与 Th17/Treg 之间的关系,为各种疾病(尤其是癌症)提供了新的预后和诊断生物标志物及有前途的治疗靶点。
