Microarray analysis reveals a potential role of lncRNA expression in remote ischemic preconditioning in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

The challenge to avoid or reduce cardiopulmonary bypass-related injuries in cardiovascular surgery remains a major issue. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) remains a promising strategy whose clinical applications appear to be significantly more realistic and extensive as compared with other conservative or surgical strategies. However, considering its underlying mechanism(s) are still unclear, novel ideas and methods must be explored to enhance its potential in clinical applications. Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) are a kind of RNAs that have been implicated in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases. The differently expressed LncRNAs and their biological effects during RIPC have not been explored previously. In this study, mouse and human LncRNA microarrays were used to investigate the expression signatures of LncRNAs and mRNAs in the myocardial tissue after RIPC. Therafter, homology comparisons were used to screen homologous genes from differentially expressed LncRNAs. Competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism analysis were employed to find the matching relationship among homologous LncRNA, mRNA and microRNA. 554 differentially expressed mouse LncRNAs (281 up-regulated/273 down-regulated) and 1392 differentially expresssed human LncRNAs (635 up-regulated/757 down-regulated) were selected for further analysis. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to quantify these LncRNAs, homology comparison and ceRNA mechanism analysis provided a pair of homologous LncRNAs (ENST00000574727 & ENSMUST00000123752) for further research investigation. Overall, in this study, a number of differentially expressed LncRNAs were identified which may play an important role the regulation of both inflammation and cell proliferation. The findings may thus unveil the mystery of RIPC and discover a novel protective mechanism for the mitigation of cardiovascular ischemia-reperfusion disease.
