Elevated Expression of Two Circulating LncRNAs Predicts Poor Prognosis for Acute Cerebral Infarction
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Poor prognosis for acute cerebral infarction (ACI) was suggested to be predicted using the high expression of some novel molecular markers, for example long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Differentially expressed lncRNAs in peripheral whole blood from the ACI patients and healthy volunteers(HVT) were identified using microarray and further verified by qRT-PCR. The clinical outcome evaluated by 3-month modified Rankin Score (mRS), stroke stratification classified by OCSP criteria, and the expression characteristics of specific lncRNAs were analyzed in ACI patients. Among 5686 differentially expressed lncRNAs screened out by the microarray, nine were verified by qRT-PCR. Particularly, the expression of NR_120420 and lnc-GCH1-2:3 in the ACI group were significantly higher than the HVT group. ROC analysis showed that the sensitivity and specificity of NR_120420 were 85.7% and 84.6% in patients with total anterior circulation infarction (TACI) respectively(area under curve,AUC=0.861), while the sensitivity and specificity of lnc-GCH1-2:3 were 85.7% and 82.1% in patients with TACI respectively(AUC=0.802). Multivariate logistic regression showed that NR_120420 was a significantly independent diagnostic factor for ACI. The elevated expression levels of NR_120420 and lnc-GCH1-2:3 were associated with the TACI stroke classification and the poor prognosis of ACI. Our study clearly illustrated that the elevated expression levels of circulating NR_120420 and lnc-GCH1-2:3 could predict the TACI stroke classification with high sensitivity and specificity and the poor prognosis of patients with ACI.
