Regulatory Effects of Long Non-coding RNAs on Th17/Treg Differentiation and Imbalance
Iran J Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2023 Dec 28;22(6):512-526. doi: 10.18502/ijaai.v22i6.14641.ABSTRACTScientific research over the past decades has proven the pivotal role of long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) in regulating gene expression. The immune responses are controlled through the interaction of pro-inflammatory (predominance of T helper 17 cells (Th17)) and anti-inflammatory cytokines excretion (predominance of Regulatory T cells (Treg)). Recent studies have marked the impact of many diverse LncRNAs on Treg/Th17 imbalances. Moreover, some of the roots and causes of human diseases can be associated with the alterations in the Th17/Treg ratio. In this review study, we overviewed the association between LncRNAs and Th17/Treg, with the potential of providing novel prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers and promising therapeutic targets in various diseases, particularly cancer.PMID:38477949 | DOI:10.18502/ijaai.v22i6.14641
