LncRNA MALAT1 to Enhance Pyroptosis in Viral Myocarditis Through UPF1-Mediated SIRT6 mRNA Decay and Wnt-β-Catenin Signal Pathway

Viral myocarditis (VMC) is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium caused by cardioviral infection, especially coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), and is a major contributor to acute heart failure and sudden cardiac death in children and adolescents. LncRNA MALAT1 knockdown reportedly inhibits the differentiation of Th17 cells to attenuate CVB3-induced VMC in mice. Moreover, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) interact with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to regulate UPF1-mediated mRNA decay. However, it remains...
