Popis: Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been previously reported to serve an important role in transcription. In addition, several studies have revealed that long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) have a crucial role in human diseases. However, the association between lncRNAs and inflammation-induced intestinal macrophages in the intestinal mucosal barrier has remained elusive. In the present study, intestinal macrophages from healthy Sprague Dawley rats were divided into two groups: The experimental group, consisting of intestinal macrophages treated with 1 mg/l lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the control group, composed of untreated cells. Differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs and mRNAs between the control and experimental groups were identified using microarray profiling. The levels of DE mRNAs and lncRNAs were measured by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analyses of DE mRNAs and lncRNAs were performed. To identify core regulatory factors among DE lncRNAs and mRNAs, a lncRNA-mRNA network was constructed. A total of 357 DE lncRNAs and 542 DE mRNAs between the LPS-treated and untreated groups were identified (fold-change >1.5; P
