title: Microarray expression profiling and gene ontology analysis of long non-coding RNAs in spontaneously hypertensive rats and their potential roles in the pathogenesis of hypertension.
abstract: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to be significant in numerous biological processes. Hypertension is a form of cardiovascular disease with at least one billion cases worldwide. The present study sought to compare the differential expression profiles of lncRNAs in the renal cortex of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and normotensive Wistar‑Kyoto (WKY) rats. The ipsilateral renal cortex was obtained from 15‑week‑old SHRs and WKY rats whose blood pressures had been monitored. Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol, and lncRNAs and messenger RNAs were profiled by microarray and validated using fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription‑polymerase chain reaction. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed to predict the function of differentially expressed genes. Microarray analysis demonstrated that 145 lncRNAs were differentially expressed between SHRs and WKY rats. GO and KEGG pathway analysis indicated that these lncRNAs are involved in numerous biological processes. Thus, lncRNAs may contribute to the pathogenesis of hypertension.
