Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the common neurodegenerative disease in the center never system and the typical dementia in old people. The major pathological changes of AD are the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, loss of cholinergic neurons, inflammation and metabolism dysfunction. However, the molecular mechanism leading to AD pathogenesis is not clear. More and more studies reported that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in AD. In this review, we briefly introduce the recent research progress on lncRNAs in AD, including their regulation of clearance of the Aβ plaques, synaptic function, inflammation reaction and mitochondrial function, and thus providing the references for that lncRNAs can serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in AD.
