LncRNA Mirt1: A Critical Regulatory Factor in Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia Exaggerated Post-MI Cardiac Remodeling.

ABSTRACT: Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is the main feature of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and is known to exaggerate cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). However, the specific contribution of CIH to overall OSA-induced pathological complications and the transcriptomic mechanisms underlying CIH-exaggerated post-MI remodeling remains unclear. In this study, we used RNA-sequencing to construct the expression profiles of cardiac mRNAs, microRNAs, and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) in four groups of C57BL/6J mice (Sham, CIH, MI, MI + CIH) to evaluate how CIH regulates cardiac remodeling after MI. Compared with the other three groups, the MI + CIH group exhibited 345 lncRNAs, 35 microRNAs, and 5,220 differentially expressed mRNAs. Further analysis showed that CIH led to significant
