Abstract

CNS diseases account for a major part of the comorbidity and mortality of the human population; moreover, neuroinflammation has become an indication for different CNS diseases, for instance, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Microglia and astrocytes are the two main glial cells that can be found in the CNS. Each of these plays an important role in mediating immune responses like inflammation. There are many studies suggesting the role of LncRNAs in mediating neuroinflammation. Indeed, LncRNAs orchestrate neuroinflammation through various mechanisms, namely miRNA sponge, and transcriptional activation/inhibition. In addition, LncRNAs regulate different downstream pathways like NF-κB, and PI3K/AKT. In this study, we gathered the existing studies regarding the mechanisms of action of LncRNAs in the pathogenesis of different CNS diseases like neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic injuries through regulating neuroinflammation. We aim to elaborate on the regulatory roles of LncRNAs in neuroinflammation and bring a more profound understanding of the etiology of CNS diseases in terms of neuroinflammation. © The Author(s) 2025.
