Abstract:
Long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs) and microRNAs(miRNAs),as members of the non-coding RNA family,play important roles in upstream processes that regulate autophagy in mammalian cells. LncRNA and miRNA participate in various phases of the process of autophagy,including initiation,vesicle nucleation,autophagosome maturation and autophagosome fusion. Some non-coding RNAs exert bidirectional regulatory functions in the process of autophagy,include the maternally expressed gene 3(MEG3),H19 and miR-21,whereas others either inhibit autophagy(including GAS5,miR-34 a and miR-30 a) or promote autophagy(including MALAT1,miR-152 and miR-24). The regulation of autophagy by non-coding RNAs has characteristics of conditionality,diversity and complexity. In recent years,researchers at home and abroad have constantly found that some extracts from the individual Chinese herbal medicine(CHM) such as ampelopsin,salvianolic acid B and paeonol,as well as the Chinese herbal compound named Eight Ingredients Decoction,can regulate autophagy by interacting with non-coding RNA in vitro and in vivo. The latest studies have shown that plant-derived small non-coding RNAs(sncRNAs) as one of the active ingredients of CHMs can directly enter the bloodstream and internal organs to regulate gene expressions in humans. In addition,it has been reported that rhein,hyperoside and mycelium of Cordyceps sinensis all can modulate autophagy in renal tubular epithelial cell via regulating the autophagy-related signaling pathways in vivo and in vitro to reduce renal damage and aging,which is likely mediated by the miR-34 a pathway. In summary,the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of autophagy by non-coding RNAs(such as lncRNAs and miRNAs) is essential and required to develop new strategies for the treatments and managements of tumors,immune diseases,metabolic diseases,neurodegenerative diseases and other common diseases and decipher pharmacologic actions of CHMs.
