Abstract

Inflammation and autoimmunity are the root cause of rheumatoid arthritis, a destructive disease of joints. Multiple biomolecules are involved in the pathogenesis of RA and are related to various events of molecular biology. RNA is a versatile biomolecule, playing numerous roles at structural, functional, and regulatory stages to maintain cellular homeostasis. The involvement of RNA (coding/non-coding) in disease development and progression has left a wide whole to fill with newer approaches. Non-coding RNAs belong to the housekeeping and regulatory categories and both have their specific roles, and their alteration causes specific implications in disease pathogenesis. Housekeeping RNAs, rRNA, tRNA and regulatory RNA, micro-RNA, circular RNA, piRNA and long non-coding RNA were found to be important regulators of inflammation. They work at the pre-and post-transcriptional levels and were found to be more intriguing to study their regulatory impact on disease pathogenesis. The review addresses a question on how the non-coding RNA gets involved in early RA pathogenesis and can be utilized to know their targets to understand the disease better and make way towards the unresolved mystery of RA development.
