Abstract

With a progressively growing elderly population, aging-associated cardiovascular diseases and other pathologies have brought great burden to the economy, society, and individuals. Therefore, identifying therapeutic targets and developing effective strategies to prevent from cardiovascular aging are highly needed. Accumulating evidences suggest that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in regulating gene expression, which contributes to many pathophysiological processes of cellular senescence, aging, and aging-related diseases in cardiovascular systems. Here we provided a general overview of ncRNAs as well as the underlying mechanisms involved in cardiovascular aging. Although the importance of ncRNAs in cardiovascular aging has been reported and commonly acknowledged, further studies are still necessary to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms.
