?Advances in genome-wide analysis have revealed that up to 90%of the human genome is transcribed.However, only approximately 1% of RNA transcripts encode proteins, and the remaining transcripts are noncoding RNAs.Noncoding RNAs can be roughly divided into small noncoding RNAs (<200nt ) and long noncoding RNAs ( LncRNAs, >200nt ). Small noncoding RNAs include microRNAs, transfer RNAs and small nucleolar RNAs, whereas the long noncoding RNAs comprise ribosomal RNA, natural antisense transcripts, etc. Although the biosynthesis and biological activities of microRNAs are well studied through bioinformatics and active biological molecules analysis, the understanding of LncRNAs on these aspects is still limited.LncRNAs play multiple roles in regulating gene transcription and translation, and epigenetics.Aberrant LncRNAs expression can occur in various pathological processes and significantly related to the pathogenesis or poor prognosis of ophthalmological diseases. In this review, we will focus on the characteristics and regulatory functions of LncRNAs that are commonly associated with ophthalmological diseases.

Objective We investigated interleukin (IL)-23 that might play a role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and whether it was correlated with disease activity and clinical manifestations in axial spondyloarthritis (SPA).In addition, the Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) scores was used to examine whether recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α receptor Ⅱ IgG Fc fusion protein for injection (rhTNFR:Fc) was effective for the reduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-proven sacroiliac joint (SIJ) inflammation.Methods The serum IL-23 levels of etanercept and conven-tional treatment groups were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits.At the same time, SIJ MRI SPARCC score levels were assessed by MRI, the change of clinical indicators of patients was observed.ANOVA, repeated measure data of ANOVA and Spearman's correlation analysis were used for statisical analysis.Results ① The basal serum IL-23 levels of the Etanercept group were (34.2±1.8) pg/ml and those of the conventional treatment group were (34.1 ±1.8) pg/ml (F=1 073.790, P=0.991), both were significantly higher than the healthy control group (18.1±0.8) pg/ml (P=0.005).After treatment, serum IL-23 levels of the rhTNFR: Fc treatment and conventional treatment group were (24.5 ±1.7) pg/ml and (25.2±1.7) pg/ml (F=232.488, P=0.242), (19.2±0.8) pg/ml and (21.6±1.3) pg/ml (F=114.135, P=0.025), (19.0±0.8) pg/ml and(19.4± 0.8) pg/ml (F=23.374, P=0.085) respectively.A significant decrease was observed in the two groups and the serum level of IL-23 of the rhTNFR:Fc group was lower than that of the conventional group at week 12.② SIJ MRI SPARCC scores of the rhTNFR:Fc group and the conventional drugs group were (20.1± 1.2) scores and(20.7±1.5) scores (F=2003.660, P=0.191), (12.5± 0.8) scores and (15.4±0.9) scores (F=1 680.430, P=0.004), (8.8±0.9) scores and (12.8± 0.9) scores (F=972.877, P=0.002), the scores of two group were significantly decreased after treatment.At week 12, 24 of the treatment, the rhTNFR:Fc group scores were lower than the conventional drugs group.③ The serum IL-23 levels, SLJ MRI SPARCC scores and clinical index (ESR, CRP, PGA, BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI and number of painful joints) were not correlated (P＞0.05), the SIJ MRI SPARCC scores and clinical indicators were not correlated (P＞0.05).Conclusion ① The serum IL-23 levels of the rhTNFR:Fc are higher than healthy controls.② rhTNFR:Fc treatment could significantly decrease IL-23 levels and improve the sacroiliac joint inflammation compared to conventional treatment.③ SIJ MRI is a good assessment method for the detection of SpA sacroiliac joint inflammation.
