Circulating "LncPPARδ" From Monocytes as a Novel Biomarker for Coronary Artery Diseases.

ABSTRACT: To investigate long noncoding RNA NONHSAT112178 (LncPPARδ) as a biomarker for coronary artery disease (CAD) in peripheral blood monocyte cells, RT-qPCR was performed to validate the microarray results, receiver operating characteristic curve was applied to study the potential of LncPPARδ as a biomarker. Diagnostic models from LncPPARδ alone or combination of risk factors were constructed by Fisher criteria. The expression of genes neighboring the LncPPARδ gene was examined with RT-qPCR in THP-1 cell line treated with LncPPARδ siRNA. Using a diagnostic model by Fisher criteria, the consideration of risk factors increased the optimal sensitivity from 70.00% to 82.00% and decreased the specificity from 94.00% to 78.00%. The consideration of risk factors also increased area under the receiver
