ABSTRACT: Non?coding RNAs, including long non?coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs), have significant regulatory effects on a number of biological processes in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, including cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. In the present study, the expression levels of lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs were evaluated in a mouse model of myocardial I/R injury. The potential functions of these differentially expressed genes were then analyzed via Gene Ontology and pathway analyses. Additionally, the interactions between lncRNA?miRNA?mRNA were predicted by constructing a competing endogenous RNA regulatory network. It was found that 14,366 lncRNAs, 151 miRNAs and 9,377 mRNAs were differentially expressed in mice hearts after I/R compared with the Sham group (fold change >2; P<0.05). The results indicated that these differentially expressed genes were involved in multiple molecular functions, including 'guanosine diphosphate binding', 'RNA polymerase II carboxy?terminal domain kinase activity', 'TATA?binding protein?class protein binding', 'nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide binding' and 'protein phosphatase type 2A regulator activity'. The interactions between lncRNA?miRNA?mRNA, including five lncRNAs, 38 miRNAs and 196 mRNAs, were predicted, specifically Gm12040?mmu?miR?125a?5p?decapping mRNA 1B, Rpl7l1?ps1?mmu?miR?124?3p?G protein?coupled receptor 146, Gm11407?mmu?miR?190a?5p?homeobox and leucine zipper encoding (HOMEZ), 1600029O15Rik?mmu?miR?132?3p?HOMEZ and AK155692?mmu?miR?1224?3p?activating transcription factor 6?. Collectively, these findings provided novel insights for future research on lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs in myocardial I/R injury.
