Research progress on lncRNAs associated with respiratory syncytial virus in-fection
Respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)induced pulmonary infections pose a significant burden on human health,which have no specific vaccines or antiviral drugs available for prevention and treatment to date,and the pathogenesis remains incompletely understood.Long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs)serve as crucial regulatory molecules in host-virus interactions during viral infections.Studies have found differential expression of lncRNAs following RSV infection,some of which may influence RSV replication by promoting host immune cell matura-tion,regulating immune molecules,or modulating the expression of RSV genes or proteins.They are likely to be potential biomarkers for RSV infection diagnosis and/or therapeutic targets.This review summarizes lncRNAs that may play important roles in the progression of RSV infection,aiming to deepen the understanding of the mechanisms through which lncRNAs participate in RSV infection.
