Expression profiles of long noncoding RNAs and mRNAs in post-cardiac arrest rat brains.

ABSTRACT: To investigate long noncoding (lnc)-RNA and mRNA expression profiles in post‑cardiac arrest (CA) brains, an external transthoracic electrical current was applied for 8 min to induce CA (the CA group). A total of 4 rats received sham-operations and served as the blank control (BC) group. Upon return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), lncRNA and mRNA expression in the rat cerebral cortex was assayed with high‑throughput Agilent lncRNA and mRNA microarrays. In total, 37 lncRNAs were upregulated and 21 lncRNAs were downregulated in the CA group, and 258 mRNA transcripts were differentially expressed with 177 mRNAs upregulated and 81 mRNAs downregulated in the CA group. The differentially expressed lncRNAs in the CA group were co‑expressed with thousands of mRNAs. The differentially expressed l
