Expression of NF-κB associated lncRNAs in schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT: NF-κB signaling pathway has important roles in the regulation of growth and development of nervous system. This pathway has also been shown to participate in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Meanwhile, activity of NF-κB signaling pathway is regulated by several factors including non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). In the current study, we evaluated expression of nine NF-κB-related lncRNAs namely DILC, ANRIL, PACER, CHAST, ADINR, DICER1-AS1, HNF1A-AS1, H19 and NKILA as well as two mRNA coding genes namely ATG5 and CEBPA in the peripheral blood of patients with schizophrenia compared with matched healthy subjects. Expressions of these genes were assessed by real time PCR technique. Expression of PACER was lower in patients with schizophrenia compared with controls (Posterior beta = - 0.684, P value
