ABSTRACT
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in numerous biological processes, including the immune system. Initial research in this area focused on cell-based studies, but recent advances underscore the profound significance of lncRNAs at the organismal level, providing invaluable insights into their roles in inflammatory diseases. In this rapidly evolving field, lncRNAs have been described with pivotal roles in the intestinal tract where they regulate intestinal homeostasis and inflammation by influencing processes such as immune cell development, inflammatory signaling pathways, epithelial barrier function, and cellular metabolism. Understanding the regulation and function of lncRNAs in this tissue may position lncRNAs not only as potential disease biomarkers but also as promising targets for therapeutic intervention in inflammatory bowel disease and related diseases.
