Abstract: PURPOSE: To screen out and validate the differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) that co-expressed with cyclin D1 in human pleomorphic adenoma. METHODS: The expression of cyclin D1 in human pleomorphic adenoma was first validated through real time-PCR, Western blot and micro-array analysis. The differentially expressed LncRNAs from the micro-array results that co-expressed with cyclin D1 were screened out via calculating the Pearson's correlation coefficient (PCC), and then the expression of three randomly selected lncRNAs (GSE61474_TCONS_00180431, ENST00000603829 and T253381) were validated with real time PCR. Statistical analysis was completed with SPSS 19.0 software package. RESULTS: The expression of cyclin D1 was significantly up-regulated in human pleomorphic adenoma than the controls (P<0.05). A total of 9 LncRNAs that co-expressed with cyclin D1 were screened out, among which, 6 were up-regulated and 3 were down-regulated. Real-time PCR results demonstrated that same expression trends of the three selected LncRNAs were shown with micro-array results. However, only ENST00000603829 expressed significantly in the subsequent enlarged tumor samples (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The differentially expressed LncRNAs that co-expressed with cyclin D1 were screened out and validated in human pleomorphic adenoma. These LncRNAs could play important roles in pathogenesis and development of pleomorphic adenoma, possibly through interacting with cyclin D1.
