Transcriptome sequencing and lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network construction in cardiac fibrosis and heart failure.

Cardiac fibrosis (CF) and heart failure (HF) are common heart diseases, and severe CF can lead to HF. In this study, we tried to find their common potential molecular markers, which may help the diagnosis and treatment of CF and HF. RNA library construction and high-throughput sequencing were performed.

Identification of ceRNA (lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA) Regulatory Network in Myocardial Fibrosis After Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Purpose: Myocardial fibrosis (MF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) ultimately results in heart failure, which is a serious threat to human life. This study aimed to excavate critical biomarkers associated with MF after AMI.

Materials And Methods: RNA-sequencing was performed to obtain differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs), miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) and lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) in AMI and MF after AMI.
