Abstract
Introduction: Acute cerebral ischemic stroke (AIS) dramatically influences patients' quality of life. lncRNA NORAD (NORAD) has been studied in cerebrovascular diseases, which are potential risk factors for AIS. The specific significance of NORAD is unclear. This study aimed to assess the role of NORAD in AIS, and to provide therapeutic value for its' treatment.
Material and methods: A total of 103 AIS patients and 95 healthy individuals (control) were enrolled into this study. Expression level of NORAD in the plasma of all participants was analyzed by PCR. Diagnostic potential of NORAD in AIS was evaluated by ROC analysis, while Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were conducted to assess its' prognostic value in AIS.
Results: A significantly increased level of NORAD was observed in AIS patients compared with healthy individuals. The upregulation of NORAD could dramatically discriminate AIS patients from healthy individuals with high sensitivity (81.60%) and specificity (88.40%). NORAD was positively correlated with patients' high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs CRP, r = 0.796), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9, r = 0.757), and NIHSS scores ( r = 0.840), and negatively related to pc-ASPECTS scores ( r = -0.607). Moreover, NORAD upregulation was associated with patients' unfavorable prognosis and served as an independent prognostic biomarker, together with NIHSS and pc-ASPECTS scores of AIS patients.
Conclusions: NORAD was upregulated in AIS, which can discriminate AIS patients, and was closely correlated with severe development and poor prognosis of patients.
期刊介绍:
Folia Neuropathologica is an official journal of the Mossakowski Medical Research Centre Polish Academy of Sciences and the Polish Association of Neuropathologists. The journal publishes original articles and reviews that deal with all aspects of clinical and experimental neuropathology and related fields of neuroscience research. The scope of journal includes surgical and experimental pathomorphology, ultrastructure, immunohistochemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology of the nervous tissue. Papers on surgical neuropathology and neuroimaging are also welcome. The reports in other fields relevant to the understanding of human neuropathology might be considered.
