Abstract
BACKGROUND
Epilepsy is a neurological disease characterized by neural network dysfunction. Although most reports indicate that the pathological process of epilepsy is related to inflammation, synaptic plasticity, cell apoptosis, and ion channel dysfunction, the underlying molecular mechanisms of epilepsy are not fully understood.
METHODS
This review summarizes the latest literature on the roles and characteristics of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the pathogenesis of epilepsy.
RESULTS
lncRNAs are a class of long transcripts without protein-coding functions that perform important regulatory functions in various biological processes. lncRNAs are involved in the regulation of the pathological process of epilepsy and are abnormally expressed in both patients and animal models. This review provides an overview of research progress in epilepsy, the multifunctional features of lncRNAs, the lncRNA expression pattern related to epileptogenesis and status epilepticus, and the potential mechanisms for the two interactions contributing to epileptogenesis and progression.
CONCLUSION
lncRNAs can serve as new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for epilepsy in the future.
