ABSTRACT
Objective:
Recently, the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in rheumatic immune diseases has attracted widespread attention. However, knowledge of lncRNA in connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) is limited. This study explored the expression profile and possible mechanisms of lncRNA and mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of CTD-ILD patients, especially systemic sclerosis (SSc)-ILD and rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-ILD.Methods:
LncRNA microarray analysis identified 240 diferentially expressed lncRNAs and 218 diferentially expressed mRNA in the CTD-ILD group and the connective tissue disease without associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-NILD) group. The bioinformatics analysis of diferential genes has identified several important biological processes and signal pathways, including nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) signaling pathway, interleukin 17 (IL-17) signaling pathway, B cell receptor signaling pathway. Relative expression levels of five diferentially expressed lncRNAs and one mRNA in 120 SSc and RA patients with or without ILD were detected by quantitative reverse-transcription (PCR).Results:
The ENST00000604692 expression level was significantly higher in the ILD than the without interstitial lung disease (NILD) group; T311354 and arginase-1 were significantly higher in SSc than RA group.Conclusion:
These data suggest that the specific profile of lncRNA in PBMCs of CTD-ILD patients and the potential signal pathways related to the pathogenesis of CTD-ILD, which may provide newfound insights for the diagnosis and treatment of CTD-ILD patients.
