    Long Non-coding RNA in Liver Metabolism and Disease: Current Status
    (Elsevier, 2017-09) Zhao, Yulan; Wu, Jianguo; Liangpunsakul, Suthat; Wang, Li; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are comprised of RNA transcripts exceeding 200 nucleotides in length but lacking identifiable open reading frames (with rare exceptions). Herein, we highlight emerging evidence demonstrating that lncRNAs are critical regulators of liver metabolic function and diseases. We summarize current knowledges about dysregulated lncRNAs and outline the underlying molecular mechanisms by which lncRNAs control hepatic lipid ad glucose metabolism, as well as cholestatic liver disease. lncLSTR, Lnc18q22.2, SRA, HULC, MALAT1, lncLGR, MEG3, and H19, lncHR1, lnc-HC, APOA1-AS, DYNLRB2-2, and LeXis are included in the discussion.
