Evaluation of long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) in pathogenesis of HELLP syndrome: diagnostic and future approach

Abstract

HELLP syndrome is a disorder during pregnancy which is defined by elevation of liver enzymes, haemolysis, and low platelet count. This syndrome is a multifactorial one and both genetic and environmental components can have a crucial role in this syndrome’s pathogenesis. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), are defined as long non-protein coding molecules (more than 200 nucleotides), which are functional units in most cellular processes such as cell cycle, differentiation, metabolism and some diseases progression. As these markers discovered, there has been some evidence that they have an important role in the function of some organs, such as placenta; therefore, alteration and dysregulation of these RNAs can develop or alleviate HELLP disorder. Although the role of lncRNAs has been shown in HELLP syndrome, the process is still unclear. In this review, our purpose is to evaluate the association between molecular mechanisms of lncRNAs and HELLP syndrome pathogenicity to elicit some novel approaches for HELLP diagnosis and treatment.
