摘要

IgA nephropathy (IgAN), also known as Berger’s disease, is a prevalent kidney disorder caused by the accumulation of IgA antibodies in the glomerular tissue. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), a class of noncoding RNAs longer than 200 nucleotides, play crucial roles in regulating various cellular and molecular processes, including translation, chromatin remodeling, and transcriptional efficiency. Research has highlighted the significant impact of lncRNA imbalances on the development and progression of kidney diseases, including IgAN. These molecules influence several key signaling pathways, such as PI3K/AKT/mTOR, PTEN, Notch, JNK, and immune-related pathways, with their dysregulation contributing to IgAN pathogenesis. This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the molecular signaling pathways involving lncRNAs in IgAN, underscoring their potential as biomarkers for screening, diagnosis, and prevention. Furthermore, it explores the therapeutic potential of lncRNAs as precise targets for personalized treatment strategies.
