Characterization of lncRNA-associated ceRNA network to uncover novel potential biomarkers in coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to construct a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network related to long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) via the bioinformatics analysis, reveal the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CAD) and develop new biomarkers for CAD. The gene expression datasets of peripheral blood of CAD were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed mRNAs, miRNAs and lncRNAs (DEmRNAs, DEmiRNAs and DElncRNAs) were identified. Subsequently, a ceRNA network involving lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs was built. Moreover, DElncRNAs in the cytoplasm were screened and a DElncRNA-associated ceRNA network was established. In total, 1860 DEmRNAs, 393 DElncRNAs and 20 DEmiRNAs were filtrated in patients with CAD compared with normal controls. Functional a
