Long Non-Coding RNA FGD5-AS1 Induced by Chlamydia trachomatis Infection Inhibits Apoptosis via Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) is one of the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) pathogens in the world, but the exact pathogenic mechanism still needs to be further elucidated. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have become vital regulators in many biological processes. Their role in the interaction between Ct and host cells has not been reported.

Methods

Microarrays were used to study the expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in HeLa cells at 12, 24, and 40 h post-infection (hpi). Differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs were verified by RT-qPCR. Coding-non-coding (CNC) network analysis showed co-expression molecules of selected lncRNA. Western blot, flow cytometry, and indirect immunofluorescence were used to detect the effect of lncR
