Identification of lncRNA, MicroRNA, and mRNA-Associated CeRNA Network of Radiation-Induced Lung Injury in a Mice Model.

ABSTRACT: Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) can be challenging for thoracic radiotherapy, thus investigating its mechanisms of related pathophysiological process is needed. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) was found to participate in normal tissue damage induced by ionizing irradiation. Here, we first profiled the dysregulation of lncRNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of RILI in mice model receiving 12 Gy thoracic irradiation. The lung tissue was collected 48 hours after irradiation, after which an RNA library was built by RNA sequencing. Compared with the control group, 461 mRNAs and 401 lncRNAs were significantly upregulated, while 936 mRNAs and 501 lncRNAs were significantly downregulated. Then we predicted target miRNAs of the dysregulated lncRNAs and the target mRNAs of these
