Long noncoding RNAs Colorectal Neoplasia Differentially Expressed and taurine-upregulated gene 1 are downregulated in sepsis and positively regulate each other to suppress the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes.

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) Colorectal Neoplasia Differentially Expressed (CRNDE) and taurine-upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) play similar roles in sepsis, indicating the existence of the crosstalk between them. Sepsis is a major cause of injuries in heart, which are related to high mortality rates. This study was therefore carried out to analyze the potential crosstalk between CRNDE and TUG1 in sepsis, with a focus on sepsis-induced cell apoptosis in heart. Expression of CRNDE and TUG1 was analyzed with RT-qPCR. Correlations between them were analyzed by Pearson's correlation coefficient. CRNDE and TUG1 were overexpressed in cardiomyocytes to determine the relationship between them. The roles of CRNDE and TUG1 in regulating the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes were explored by cell apoptosis assay
