Abstract |
RNA transcripts that not undergo translation into polypeptides recently came into focus of research. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) comprise the most important groups of these transcripts. LncRNAs have a length over 200 nucleotides and like mRNAs, have regulated transcription in a tissue specific manner. Biogenesis and function of lncRNAs is related to cell differentiation, response to stimuli and regulation of immune responses. LncRNAs can interact with both miRNAs and mRNAs. MiRNAs are characterized by a length of 22–24 nucleotides. MiRNAs regulate expression of genes at the post-transcriptional level. LncRNAs together with miRNAs are considered as regulators of the immune system. Alterations in their biogenesis is an important mechanism in the development immune related disorders. CircRNAs are products of aberrant maturation of protein-coding transcripts in a process of back-splicing, in which a single strand RNA molecule attains a closed circle shape. Despite a low expression, some circRNA were found to titrate miRNAs and interfere with maturation of legitimate protein-coding transcripts. We summarize the current knowledge on the role of non-coding transcripts in allergic disorders: asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis and urticaria. The reviewed data suggest lncRNA and miRNAs as therapeutic targets and biomarkers of allergic disorders.
