Abstract:
Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as pivotal regulators of gene expression, and have attracted significant attention because of their various roles in biological processes. These molecules have transcriptional activity despite their inability to encode proteins. Moreover, research has revealed that ncRNAs, especially microRNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), are linked to pervasive regulators of kidney disease, including anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, antifibrotic, and proangiogenic actions in acute and chronic kidney disease. Although the exact therapeutic mechanism of ncRNAs remains uncertain, their value in treatment has been studied in clinical trials. The numerous renal diseases and the beneficial or harmful effects of NcRNAs on the kidney will be discussed in this article. Afterward, exploring the biological characteristics of ncRNAs, as well as their purpose and potential contributions to acute and chronic renal disease, were explored. This may offer guidance for treating both acute and long-term kidney illnesses, as well as insights into the potential use of these indicators as kidney disease biomarkers.
