Abstract

Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have key roles in various diseases; however, their functions in hyperlipidemia (HLP) have remained elusive. In the present study, microarray technology was utilized to analyze the differential expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs in liver tissues of apolipoprotein E‑/‑ mice as a model of HLP compared with control mice. A total of 104 and 96 differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs, respectively, were identified. Differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched in biological processes such as nitric oxide biosynthesis, innate immune response and inflammatory response. Finally, two pairs of target genes and 38 transcription factors with regulatory functions in HLP were predicted based on the lncRNA and mRNA co‑expression network. The lncRNA expression profile was significantly altered in liver tissues of the mouse model of HLP and may provide novel targets for research into treatments.
