Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are pivotal regulators of genome structure and gene expression. LncRNAs can directly interact with chromatin-modifying enzymes and nucleosome-remodeling factors to control chromatin structure and accessibility of genetic information. Moreover, lncRNA expression can be controlled by chromatin-remodeling factors, suggesting a feedback circuit of regulation. Here, we discuss the recent advances of lncRNA studies, focusing on the function and mechanism of lncRNA-chromatin interactions.Keywords: RNA therapeutics; chromatin modification; chromatin remodeling; human diseases; lncRNA promoter; lncRNA regulation; long non-coding RNA
