Expression Profiling by array of Long Noncoding RNAs in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a key role in regulating immunological functions. Their impact on the chronic inflammatory disease multiple sclerosis (MS), however, remains unknown. We investigated the expression of lncRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with MS and try to explain their possible role in the process of MS. we recruited 26 MS patients according to the revised McDonald Criteria. Then we chosen 6 patients for microarray analysis randomly. Microarray assays identified outstanding differences in lncRNA expression, which were verified through real-time PCR. LncRNA functions were annotated for target genes using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses, and regulatory relationships between lncRNAs and target genes were analyzed using the “cis” and “trans” model.
