Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs>200 bp in length. In recent years, it was discovered that lncRNAs play an important role in many physiological processes, such as transcription activation, transcriptional interference, X chromosome silencing, genomic imprinting and chromatin modification, transport and so on. More and more studies show alterations of lncRNA expression in primary liver cancer, hepatitis and other liver diseases. This paper reviews the relationship between long non-coding RNAs and liver-related diseases and injuries.
