Research Progress of Long Noncoding RNAs Related Mechanisms of Chinese Materia Medica

Chinese materia medica is the treasure of traditional Chinese medicine, which has been used for thousands of years. However, the mechanisms of Chinese materia medica have not been fully clarified, which limited its clinical application. Noncoding RNAs(ncRNAs) are non-protein coding transcripts. Several kinds of ncRNAs have proved to be important regulatory transcripts in the generation and progression of diseases, including microRNA, long noncoding RNA(lncRNA) and circular RNA, etc. The lncRNAs related mechanisms of Chinese materia medica has becoming a research hotspot in recent years. This paper reviewed the research progress on this research field and wish to provide new ideas for the study of traditional Chinese medicine.
