Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) have emerged as a diverse class of functional molecules that contribute to nearly every facet of mammalian cardiac development and disease. Recent examples show that lncRNAs can be important co-regulators of cardiac patterning and morphogenesis and modulators of the pathogenic signaling that drives heart disease. The flexibility and chemical nature of RNA allows lncRNAs to utilize diverse mechanisms, mediating their effects through their sequence, structure, and molecular interactions with DNA, protein, and other RNAs. In vivo, i.e., animal, studies of individual lncRNAs highlight their ability to balance conserved cardiac gene expression networks, serve as specific and early biomarkers, and indicate their promise as useful therapeutic targets to treat human heart disease. Here, we review recent functionally characterized lncRNAs in cardiac biology and pathology and provide a perspective on emerging approaches to decipher the role of lncRNAs in the heart.
