Impact of chronic intermittent hypoxia on the long non-coding RNA and mRNA expression profiles in myocardial infarction. J Cell Mol Med. 2020 Nov 20;: Authors: Hu C, Li J, Du Y, Li J, Yang Y, Jia Y, Peng L, Qin Y, Wei Y Abstract Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is the primary feature of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), a crucial risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in myocardial infarction (MI) pathogenesis have drawn considerable attention. However, whether CIH participates in the modulation of lncRNA profiles during MI is yet unclear. To investigate the influence of CIH on MI, cardiac damage was assessed by histology and echocardiography, and lncRNA and mRNA integrated microarrays were screened. MI mouse model showed myocardial hypertrophy, aggravated inflammation and fibrosis, and compromised left ventricle function under CIH. Compared with normoxia, 644 lncRNAs and 1084 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified following CIH for 4 weeks, whereas 1482 lncRNAs and 990 mRNAs were altered at 8 weeks. Strikingly, reoxygenation after CIH markedly affected 1759 lncRNAs and 778 mRNAs. Of these, 11 lncRNAs modulated by CIH were restored after reoxygenation and were validated by qPCR. The GO terms and KEGG pathways of genes varied significantly by CIH. lncRNA-mRNA correlation further showed that lncRNAs, NONMMUT032513 and NONMMUT074571 were positively correlated with ZEB1 and negatively correlated...
