摘要:

长链非编码RNAs (lncRNA)是一类转录本长度在200至数千个核苷酸且不表现任何蛋白质编码潜能的非编码RNAs (ncRNA),它是ncRNAs家族中最大的一类。多项研究表明lncRNAs可以通过一系列机制在表观遗传水平、转录水平及转录后水平对基因表达进行调控。而越来越多的研究发现lncRNAs在中枢神经系统的发育中起着重要的作用。某些类型的lncRNAs可以调控神经干细胞(NSCs)定向分化为神经元,而另外一些类型的lncRNAs可以调控NSCs向胶质细胞分化。文章就lncRNAs调控NSCs分化的研究新进展进行综述,以期为研究神经系统发育提供新的思路。

Abstract:

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) is the largest class of ncRNAs with a transcript length from 200 to several thousand nucleotides and have no known proteincoding potential. LncRNAs can regulate the gene expression at epigenetic, transcriptional, and post-transcriptional levels through a wide range of mechanisms. More and more studies suggest that lncRNAs play a critical role in the development of central nervous system. Some types of lncRNAs can regulate the differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) towards neuronal lineages, while other types of lncRNAs can regulate the differentiation of NSCs towards neuroglia lineages. This paper reviews the latest progresses of studies on the differentiation of NSCs regulated by lncRNAs and provides new ideas for exploring the development of the nerve system.
