Construction of ceRNA network based on RNA-seq for identifying prognostic lncRNA biomarkers in Perthes disease.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease or Perthes disease is a condition that occurs in children aged 2 to 15 years, and is characterized by osteonecrosis of the femoral head, which results in physical limitations. Despite ongoing research, the pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms underlying the development of Perthes disease remain unclear. In order to obtain further insights, the expression patterns of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), miRNAs, and mRNAs in a rabbit model of Perthes disease were analyzed in this study by transcriptome sequencing. Methods and results: The results of RNA-seq analyses revealed that 77 lncRNAs, 239 miRNAs, and 1027 mRNAs were differentially expressed in the rabbit model. This finding suggested that multiple genetic pathways are involved in the
