文摘长链非编码RNA(Long non-coding RNA,lncRNA)通过多种机制发挥其生物学功能,这些机制包括基因印记、染色质重塑、细胞周期调控、剪接调控、mRNA降解和翻译调控等。lncRNA通过这些作用机制在不同水平进行基因表达调控。在研究lncRNA功能的过程中,研究方法的建立和应用起着非常重要的作用。目前用于lncRNA研究的主要方法有:微阵列、转录组测序、Northern印迹、实时荧光定量逆转录-聚合酶链反应、荧光原位杂交、RNA干扰和RNA结合蛋白免疫沉淀等。文章着重介绍了3种前沿方法,即:在线快速预测RNA与蛋白质相互作用的catRAPID、RNA纯化的染色质分离(Chromatin isolation by RNA purification,ChIRP)以及非编码RNA沉默与定位分析技术(Combined knockdown and localization analysis of non-coding RNAs,c-KLAN)。
