Integrated analysis of the lncRNA-associated competing endogenous RNA network in salt sensitivity of blood pressure.

ABSTRACT: Accumulating evidence showed that competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism plays a pivotal role in salt sensitivity of blood pressure (SSBP). We constructed a ceRNA network based on SSBP-related differently expressed lncRNAs (2), mRNAs (73) and miRNAs (18). Bioinformatic analyses were utilized to analyze network and found network genes participate in biological pathways related to SSBP pathogenesis such as regulation of nitric oxide biosynthetic process (GO:0045,428) and cellular response to cytokine stimulus (GO:0071,345). Fourteen candidate ceRNA pathways were selected from network to perform qRT-PCR validation and found nine RNAs (KCNQ1OT1, SLC8A1-AS1, IL1B, BCL2L11, KCNJ15, CX3CR1, KLF2, hsa-miR-362-5p and hsa-miR-423-5p) differently expresse
