Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by airway inflammation, hyper- responsiveness, and remodeling, which are manifested as recurrent wheezing or coughing and chest distress. Recent studies indicate that lncRNAs and circRNAs competitively sponge miRNAs via microRNA response elements, form a competing endogenous RNA regulatory network, and therefore regulate post-transcriptional gene expression and play a major regulating role in the development and progression of asthma. This article reviews the mechanisms of ceRNA and its effects on asthma.
