Long non-coding RNA review and implications in acute lung inflammation.

Acute lung inflammatory diseases severely affect the patients' recovery and outcomes worldwide. Unregulated acute inflammatory response is fundamentally central to acute lung inflammation including acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). To limit the potentially deleterious effects of acute lung inflammation, complex transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulatory networks have been explored, which often involves long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA). LncRNAs are RNAs that longer than 200 nucleotides, functioning as scaffolds or decoys in the cytoplasm or nucleus. By now, lncRNAs have been found to join in all major cellular processes including cell proliferation, metabolism, stress response or death. Extensive advance over the last decade furthermore indicated a fundamental role of lncRNAs in acute lung inflammation. This article reviews and summarizes the current knowledge on lncRNA in acute lung inflammatory response. Copyright © 2021. Published by Elsevier Inc.
