Abstract Background Berberine (BBR) is an isoquinoline alkaloid found in the Berberis species. It was found to have protected effects in cardiovascular diseases. Here, we investigated the effect the regulatory function of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) during the treatment of stable coronary heart disease (CHD) using BBR. We performed microarray analyses to identify differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs and mRNAs between whole blood samples from 5 patients with stable CHD taking BBR and 5 no BBR volunteers. DE lncRNAs and mRNAs were validated by quantitative real-time PCR. Results A total of 1703 DE lncRNAs and 912 DE mRNAs were identified. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis indicated DE mRNAs might be associated with mammalian target of rapamycin and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. These pathways may be involved in the healing process after CHD. To study the relationship between mRNAs encoding transcription factors (DNA damage inducible transcript 3, sal-like protein 4 and estrogen receptor alpha gene) and CHD related de mRNAs, we performed protein and protein interaction analysis on their corresponding proteins. AKT and apoptosis pathway were significant enriched in protein and protein interaction network. BBR may affect downstream apoptosis pathways through DNA damage inducible transcript 3, sal-like protein 4 and estrogen receptor alpha gene. Growth arrest-specific transcript 5 might regulate CHD-related mRNAs through competing endogenous RNA mechanism and may be the downstream target gene regulated by BBR. Verified by the quantitative real-time PCR, we identified 8 DE lncRNAs that may relate to CHD. We performed coding and non-coding co-expression and competing endogenous RNA mechanism analysis of these 8 DE lncRNAs and CHD-related DE mRNA, and predicted their subcellular localization and N6-methyladenosine modification sites. Conclusion Our research found that BBR may affect mammalian target of rapamycin, mitogen-activated protein kinase, apoptosis pathway and growth arrest-specific transcript 5 in the process of CHD. These pathways may be involved in the healing process after CHD. Our research might provide novel insights for functional research of BBR. |
