Abstract: With the rapid development of genetics and bioinformatics technology, the long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) which once was considered as the transcription "noise", is now attracted more and more attention. It has been confirmed that LncRNA plays an important regulation role in almost all kinds of life activities, especially in the process of regulating gene expression by signaling molecules, decoy molecules, lead molecules, and scaffold molecular, etc, which has been one of the most hottest issues in life science. It is also known that LncRNAs performs their biological functions at different levels, including cell differentiation. This paper is to discuss the correlation between LncRNAs and cell differentiation, which includes LncRNAs with pluripotent stem cells who maintain their pluripotency and differentiation, LncRNAs with nerve cell differentiation, LncRNAs with muscles differentiation, and LncRNAs with osteoblast differentiation.

Key words: LncRNAs , Cell differentiation, Mechanism
