Popis: Nickel (Ni) is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant, which can disrupt the production of steroid in rat Leydig cells. Steroidogenesis can be affected by non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which operate in normal physiological processes. To date, however, very few studies have focused on whether ncRNAs are involved in Ni-induced steroidogenesis disturbance. The present study was designed to investigate the impact of NiSO4 on the regulation of RNA networks including long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and mRNA in rat Leydig cells. After treatment with 1000 μmol/L NiSO4 for 24 h, 372 lncRNAs, 27 miRNAs (fold change>2, p 2, p
