Long noncoding RNA expression profile and functional analysis in psoriasis.

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve important roles in the biology of autoimmune diseases and immune‑associated disorders. To identify lncRNAs specifically associated with psoriasis, the expression of lncRNAs from biopsies obtained from patients with psoriasis were compared with samples obtained from healthy volunteers using a microarray. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) was performed to detect the expression of 10 identified dysregulated lncRNAs. Cis‑ and trans‑regulated target genes of lncRNAs were predicted. The results of microarray analysis indicated that 2,194 lncRNAs and 1,725 mRNAs were significantly dysregulated. Gene Ontology and pathway analyses among the dysregulated genes were performed. Co‑expression network analysis was also performed to
