Regulation of hematopoiesis and immune responses by long non-coding RNAs.

Since the first draft of the human genome sequence was released in 2001, unprecedentedly rapid progress has been made in whole genome-wide approaches by utilizing next-generation-sequencing technologies. The last decade alone has generated enormous data in the forms of exome sequencing, transcriptomes, transcription factor occupancy, genomic variation profiling and epigenetic modifications. One of the most striking realizations from sequencing studies has been the discovery and characterization of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Although the extent to which ncRNAs are functional in vivo is still a controversial topic, there is at least a consensus that some ncRNAs are functional and that they play various roles in biology. Among the several kinds of ncRNAs, long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) in particular have received more attention because they have a larger potential to act as multifunctional regulators. Not surprisingly, researchers in the field of immunology have started to examine ncRNAs as new regulatory mechanisms. In this review, we will summarize some lncRNAs that have been reported to function in the immune system and then argue that there is still a long way to go before we can achieve a complete understanding of lncRNAs.
