非编码RNA介导肺纤维化的EMT进程及天然药物干预的研究进展

Research advances of EMT progression of pulmonary fibrosis mediated by non-coding RNAs and natural medicines interventions

  • 摘要: 上皮间质转化 (epithelial mesenchymal transition,EMT) 是上皮细胞向间充质细胞转变的重编程过程。在这一过程中,上皮细胞失去其细胞极性和细胞间的黏附作用,获得类似于间充质细胞的更强的迁移和侵袭能力。在肺纤维化发病过程中,EMT是非常关键的步骤。部分肺上皮细胞通过EMT过程向肌成纤维细胞分化,促进肺纤维化发展。近年来,有大量研究表明非编码RNA (non-coding RNA,ncRNA) 参与了肺上皮细胞的EMT过程,同时一些天然药物可以通过干预肺纤维化相关ncRNA的方式,对肺纤维化起到预防和治疗作用。本文总结了肺纤维化EMT过程中ncRNA的表达情况、发挥的生物学功能以及天然药物介导EMT相关ncRNA影响肺纤维化的研究进展,旨在为ncRNA的研究与天然药物新作用靶点探究提供新的思路。

     

    Abstract: Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a reprogramming process of epithelial to mesenchymal transition, in which epithelial cells lose polarity and intercellular adhesion and acquire stronger migration and invasion ability similar to mesenchymal cells. EMT is a critical step during the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. Lung epithelial cells can differentiate into myofibroblasts through EMT, which accelerates the fibrosis process. In recent years, a large number of studies have shown that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are involved in the EMT process of lung epithelial cells, at the same time, some natural medicines were found to prevent and treat pulmonary fibrosis by intervening in ncRNAs related to pulmonary fibrosis. In this review, we summarize the expression change and biological function of vital ncRNAs in EMT progression during pulmonary fibrosis, as well as the research progress of EMT related ncRNA mediated by natural medicines on pulmonary fibrosis, aiming to provide new insights into the research of ncRNAs and the exploration of new pharmacological targets of natural medicine.
