Transcriptomic Analysis of Long Non-coding RNA-MicroRNA-mRNA Interactions in the Nucleus Accumbens Related to Morphine Addiction in Mice.

ABSTRACT: Recent research suggest that some non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are important regulators of chromatin dynamics and gene expression in nervous system development and neurological diseases. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), acting as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs), underlying morphine addiction are still unknown. In this research, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to examine the expression profiles of lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs on the nucleus accumbens (NAc) tissues of mice trained with morphine or saline conditioned place preference (CPP), with differential expression of 31 lncRNAs, 393 miRNAs, and 371 mRNAs found. A ceRNA network was established for reciprocal interactions for 9 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs), 10 differentially expressed
