Implications of LncRNAs and CircRNAs in psoriasis: a review

ABSTRACT Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by skin infiltration of immune cells and abnormal epidermal thickening. The initial pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which include long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), comprise the majority of genome transcripts and are important influencers of gene transcription and post-transcription modulations. Emerging roles of ncRNAs in psoriasis were identified recently. This review summarizes the existing studies of psoriasis-related lncRNAs and circRNAs. A considerable proportion of the studied lncRNAs and circRNAs regulate keratinocyte mobility, such as keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. Some lncRNAs and circRNAs are tightly related to keratinocyte inflammation reactions. Other reports demonstrated that they are also implicated in modulating immune cell differentiation, proliferation, and activation. This review might illuminate future psoriasis research and highlight that lncRNAs and circRNAs might act as therapeutic targets.
