Research progress in interactions between lncRNA and miRNA in atherosclerosis

Recent research has demonstrated that non-coding RNA play an important role in bioprocess, including cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and tumorigenesis. It has significant effects on atherosclerosis. The interaction between lncRNA and miRNA can reflect complicated biological networks and provides new therapeutic targets. At this time, the mechanism of mediation or modulation of the interaction between lncRNA and miRNA is in early stages and the precise mechanism is not clear. This article reviews the research progress in interaction between lncRNA and miRNA in atherosclerosis.
