Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) has received widespread attention for its role in several key cellular processes such as cell differentiation, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and autoimmune diseases. Although we now have a good understanding of miRNA expression and function, our knowledge regarding the molecular mechanism of long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) is still in its infancy. In this review, we will briefly introduce the definition and function of lncRNA and summarize the interactions between lncRNA and miRNA and their research progress in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The expression of miR‐16, miR‐146a, miR‐155, and miR‐223 and the interactions between HOTAIR and miR138, ZFAS1 and miR‐27a, and GAPLINC and miR‐575 are representative examples that may augment the understanding of the pathogenesis of RA and help in the development of new biomarkers and target therapies.
