Role of non-coding RNAs in cardiotoxicity of chemotherapy.

The long-time paradoxical situation of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) has been terminated for they emerge as executive at full spectrum of gene expression and translation. More recently, it has been demonstrated that some ncRNAs apparently are associated with chemotherapy, causing cardiotoxicity, which taint long-term recovery of patients in growing body of evidence. The current review focused on up-to-date knowledge on regulation change and molecular signaling of ncRNAs, at mean time evaluate their potentials as diagnostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets to monitor and protect cardio function.
