Microarray analysis of long non-coding RNA expression profiles in Marfan syndrome.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve a crucial role in every aspect of cell biological functions as well as in a variety of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and nervous system disease. However, the differential expression profiles of lncRNAs in Marfan syndrome (MFS) have not been reported. The aim of the present study was to identify potential target genes behind the pathogenesis of MFS by analyzing microarray profiles of lncRNA in aortic tissues from individuals with MFS and normal aortas (NA). The differentially expressed lncRNA profiles between MFS (n=3) and NA (n=4) tissues were analyzed using microarrays. Bioinformatics analyses were used to further investigate the candidate lncRNAs. Reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-qPCR) was applied to validate the results. In total, the present study identified 294 lncRNAs (245 upregulated and 49 downregulated) and 644 mRNAs (455 upregulated and 189 downregulated) which were differential expressed between MFS and NA tissues (fold change ≥1.5; P<0.05). Gene Ontology enrichment analysis indicated that the differentially expressed mRNAs were involved in cell adhesion, elastic fiber assembly, extracellular matrix (ECM) organization, the response to virus and the inflammatory response. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genomes pathway analysis indicated that the differentially expressed mRNAs were mainly associated with focal adhesion, the ECM-receptor interaction, the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway and the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway. The lncRNA-mRNA coexpression network analysis further elucidated the interaction between the lncRNAs and mRNAs. A total of five lncRNAs (uc003jka.1, uc003jox.1, X-inactive specific transcript, linc-lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 and linc-peptidylprolyl isomerase domain and WD repeat containing 1) with the highest degree of coexpression were selected and confirmed using RT-qPCR. In the present study, expression profiles of lncRNA and mRNA in MFS were revealed using microarray analysis. These results provided novel candidates for further investigation of the molecular mechanisms and effective targeted therapies for MFS.
