Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), as critical regulators of gene expression, play a pivotal role in the modulation of pyroptosis and exhibit a close association with a wide range of diseases. Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death mediated by inflammasomes, characterized by cell membrane perforation, release of inflammatory cytokines, and a robust immune response. Recent studies have revealed that ncRNAs influence the initiation and execution of pyroptosis by regulating the expression of pyroptosis-related genes or modulating associated signaling pathways. This review systematically summarizes the molecular mechanisms and applications of ncRNAs in diseases such as cancer, infectious diseases, neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic disorders. It further explores the potential of ncRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, elucidates the intricate interactions among ncRNAs, pyroptosis, and diseases, and provides novel strategies and directions for the precision treatment of related diseases.

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) usually triggers a series of molecular and cellular changes, which yield excessive oxidative stress and massive cardiomyocyte death, leading to sterile inflammation, cardiac fibrosis, and, eventually, heart failure. Over the past two decades, numerous studies have demonstrated that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), involve almost every aspect of adverse cardiac remodeling induced by I/R. They have emerged as key regulators in the process of cardiac cell death (i.

Currently, therapeutic options for hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) remain limited and challenging. An emerging alternative involves the combination of ingredients from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and beneficial gut microbiota (GM) metabolites. This study integrates ingredients of (SM) and metabolites of GM to assess their combined therapeutic efficacy against HIRI through pyroptosis using network pharmacology.

Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is a severe critical condition marked by rapid progression and high fatality. It results from direct/indirect lung-related or systemic triggers, leading to widespread injury of lung epithelial and endothelial cells. Its pathogenesis involves uncontrolled inflammation and breakdown of the lung's blood-air barrier due to leaky blood vessels and epithelial damage.

Objective: To elucidate the role and mechanism of microRNA-145-5p (miR-145-5p) in hypoxia-induced pyroptosis of human alveolar epithelial cells.
Methods: In vitro, human alveolar epithelial cell line BEAS-2B was cultured. Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were cultured to 80% confluence and then used for the experiment.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of cardiac surgery. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUCMSC)-derived exosomes affect tissue damage and repair, and miR-21-5p reduces apoptosis and inflammation. However, miR-21-5p's role in cardiac surgery remains unclear.
