Article Abstract
A large number of human RNA transcripts, which do not encode proteins are defined as non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). These ncRNAs are divided into two classes of different lengths; short and long ncRNAs. MicroRNAs are a major class of short ncRNAs, ~22 nucleotides in length that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are more than 200 nucleotides in length and play roles in various biological pathways. In this review, we summarize the functions of lncRNAs which regulate immune responses.

Metabolic associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a severe form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) characterized by hepatocellular injury, inflammation, and fibrosis. Despite advances in understanding its pathophysiology, the molecular mechanisms driving MASH progression remain unclear. This study investigates the role of long non-coding RNA Linc01271 in MASLD/MASH pathogenesis, ant its involvement in the miR-149-3p/RAB35 axis and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) causes mild to severe disease in livestock and humans. It was first identified in 1931 during an epizootic in Kenya and has spread across Africa and into the Middle East. Hematopoietic cells are one of the major targets of RVFV ; however, their contribution to RVFV pathogenesis remains poorly understood.

Long non-coding ribonucleic acids (lncRNAs) form a subclass of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), they are quite long and as their name non-coding suggests they do not have a role in protein coding. lncRNAs are vital in all the key steps of tumorigenesis, such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition, cancer stem cells formation, invasion, migration, and formation of the tumor vasculature. lncRNAs are classified into oncogenic or anti-tumor lncRNAs based on their functions.

Initially, pseudogenes were considered to be "junk DNA", and their biological role was unclear. However, some of the pseudogenes are engaged in the process of cancerogenesis and perform essential functions in competing for endogenous ribonucleic acid (ceRNA) networks and competing for RNA binding proteins (RBPs). They either positively or negatively regulate gene expression and act as suppressive and oncogenic transcripts.
