Epigallocatechin‑3‑gallate modulates long non‑coding RNA and mRNA expression profiles in lung cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: (‑)‑Epigallocatechin‑3‑gallate (EGCG), a major constituent of green tea, is a potential anticancer agent, but the molecular mechanisms of its effects are not well‑understood. The present study was conducted to examine the mechanism of EGCG in lung cancer cells. Alterations in long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs were investigated in lung cancer cells treated with EGCG by lncRNA microarray analysis. Furthermore, the functions and signaling pathways regulated by EGCG were predicted by bioinformatics analysis. A total of 960 lncRNAs and 1,434 mRNAs were significantly altered following EGCG treatment. These lncRNAs were distributed across nearly all human chromosomes and the mRNAs were involved in the cell cycle and the mitotic cell cycle process. Through a combination of microarray and bi
