Atherosclerosis is a complex and chronic disease characterized by lipid deposition in the vessel wall that leads to an inflammatory and proliferative cascade involving smooth muscle, endothelial and immune cells. Despite substantial improvements in our understanding of mechanisms contributing to atherosclerosis and overall reduction in cardiovascular mortality, the absolute disease burden remains substantially high. The recent discovery of a new group of mediators known as long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) offers a unique opportunity for the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools in atherothrombotic disease. A number of studies suggest that lncRNAs are important mediators in health and disease and rapidly accumulating evidence implicates lncRNAs in regulatory circuits controlling atherosclerosis. In this review, we outline important contributions of lncRNAs to atherosclerosis and its associated risk factors including hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, hypertension and obesity. Atherosclerosis is the single most devastating cause of worldwide mortality forming the epicenter of major efforts to mitigate cardiovascular disease. Understanding how genetic sequences control function has substantially improved our understanding of common cardiovascular problems including atherosclerosis. Galvanized by evidence from the human genome project, an expanded genetic catalog has led to the discovery of new players in biology known as long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). In this review, we discuss the contributions of lncRNAs to atherosclerosis risk factors and key cells involved in plaque formation. The identification of lncRNAs offers newly recognized opportunities for cardiovascular risk mitigation.
