Cardiomyopathies are the structural and functional disorders of the myocardium. Etiopathogenesis is complex and involves an interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors eventually leading to myocardial abnormalities. It is known that non-coding (Nc) RNAs, including micro (mi)-RNAs and long non-coding (lnc) RNAs, play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. Several studies have explored the role of miRNAs in the development of various pathologies, including heart diseases. In this review, we analyzed various patterns of ncRNAs expressed in the most common cardiomyopathies: dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Understanding the role of different ncRNAs implicated in cardiomyopathic processes may contribute to the identification of potential therapeutic targets and novel risk stratification models based on gene expression. The analysis of ncRNAs may also be helpful to unveil the molecular mechanisms subtended to these diseases.

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.
