Objectives: The non-coding RNA rprA can increase the resistance to ampicillin in Escherichia coli.

Methods: Bacterial DNA was extracted by boiling method and then amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with two different primer sets. Recombinant pET28a/rprA-sense and -antisense plasmids were separately transferred into the competent E.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death and disability all around the world. Recent studies have revealed that aberrantly regulated long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) as one of the main classes of cellular transcript play a key regulatory role in transcriptional and epigenetic pathways. Recent reports have demonstrated circulating long noncoding RNAs in blood can be potential biomarkers for CAD.
