Targeting long non-coding RNA H19 as a therapeutic strategy for liver disease.

The liver has the function of regulating metabolic equilibrium in the human body, and the majority of liver disorders are chronic conditions that can significantly impair health. Recent research has highlighted the critical role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in liver disease pathogenesis. LncRNA H19, an endogenous noncoding single-stranded RNA, exerts its influence through epigenetic modifications and affects various biological processes. This review focuses on elucidating the key molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of H19 during the progression and advancement of liver diseases, aiming to highlight H19 as a potential therapeutic target and provide profound insights into the molecular underpinnings of liver pathologies.
