【 摘 要 】

Innate immunity provides the initial defence against infection and it is now clear that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of this response. Following activation of the innate response, we commonly see rapid induction of these lncRNAs and this is often mediated via the pro-inflammatory transcription factor, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). Knockdown studies have shown that lncRNAs tend to act in trans to regulate the expression of multiple inflammatory mediators and other responses. Mechanistically, many lncRNAs have demonstrated acting through heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins, complexes that are implicated chromatin re-modelling, transcription process and translation. In addition, these lncRNAs have also been shown to interact with multiple other proteins involved in the regulation of chromatin re-modelling, as well as those proteins involved in intracellular immune signalling, which include NF-κB. In this review, we will describe the evidence that supports this emerging role of lncRNA in the innate immune response.
