Abstract |
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis that may affect all joint tissues. Unfortunately, the pathogenesis of OA is not fully understood yet and it cannot be cured totally. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is a type of RNA molecule greater than 200 nucleotides, and deregulated expression of lncRNAs plays an important role in many types of inflammation-related diseases. In this review, we have focused on the association of lncRNAs in the development and progression of OA and the possibility of lncRNAs as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of OA. Some lncRNAs are up-regulated in OA cartilage, and plays a critical role in the degradation of chondrocyte extracellular matrix, consequently weakening the integrity of the articular cartilage. Therapeutic targeting of these lncRNAs has shown significant influence on controlling OA progression. More clinical studies are in focus for OA treatment strategy by targeting lncRNAs.
