What is the Role of Non-coding RNA in Epigenetic Regulation?
Non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, are involved in the fine-tuning of gene expression. They can modulate the effects of environmental toxins by interacting with DNA, RNA, and proteins. Changes in the expression of non-coding RNAs due to toxic exposure can result in dysregulation of cellular pathways and contribute to disease processes.
