Up-regulated lncRNA-PVT1 Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Patients with Coronary Artery Disease is Correlated with Decreased Interleukin-10 Production
Abstract:Background: Plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) is a newly discovered long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), and it has not been previously studied in the inflammatory responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 15 CAD patients and 15 non-CAD (NCAD) individuals. PVT1 expression in PBMCs of the participants was measured, using real-time PCR. Interleukin (IL)-10, IL-22 and MMP-9 in the plasma and super… Show more
