Characteristics of Long Noncoding RNAs in the Pancreas of Rats With Acute Pancreatitis

Objective Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have received increasing attention as potential regulators of several biological processes. However, the precise effects of lncRNAs in acute pancreatitis (AP) have seldom been studied. This study aimed to describe the microarray-based differential expression profile of messenger RNA (mRNAs) and lncRNAs in AP and identify candidate biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of AP. Methods A rat...
