Abstract:
ANRIL is known as a lncRNA that has many linear and circular isoforms and its polymorphisms are observed to be associated with the pathogenesis of many diseases including age-related diseases. Age-related diseases including atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease are the most common cause of mortality in both developed and undeveloped countries and that is why a better understanding of their pathogenesis and underlying mechanisms is necessary for controlling their healthcare burden.In this review, we aim to gather the data of researches which have investigated the role of ANRIL in aging and its related diseases. The conclusions of this paper might give a new insight for decreasing the mortality rate of these diseases.

RNA Interference
This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...
siRNA - Small Interfering RNAs
In the cytoplasm, siRNA is processed from a double-stranded RNA, which comes from either endogenous DNA transcription or exogenous sources like a virus. This double-stranded RNA is then cleaved by the...
