LncRNA and mRNA Expression Profiles in Methylprednisolone Stimulated Neural Stem Cells.

ABSTRACT: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating neurological disorder that affects thousands of individuals each year. Previously, our study in non-human primates with SCI demonstrated that methylprednisolone (MP) resulted in the dysfunction of neural stem cells (NSCs), which may help to explain the controversial roles of MP in SCI. However, the detailed mechanism is still unclear. In this manuscript, we investigated the LncRNA and mRNA expression profiles of NSCs treated with MP. A total of 63 differentially expressed LncRNAs and 174 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified. Gene ontology (GO) analysis showed that differentially expressed mRNAs were highly associated with terms related to regulation of external stimulation, secretion, and migration.
