Figure Lengend Snippet: CNC network analysis. (A) qRT-PCR was used to validate the up-regulated DE of four mRNAs found on microarray analysis; (B) the CNC network included sequences with a Pearson’s correlation coefficient ≥0.7. Green nodes represent dysregulated lncRNAs; yellow nodes represent four mRNAs: SMAD3, ORC1, CCNA2 and CCNB2; solid lines between lncRNAs and mRNAs indicate a positive correlation; dotted lines between lncRNAs and mRNAs indicate a negative correlation. The network consists of four mRNAs and 37 related genes; (C) qRT-PCR was used to validate the up-regulated DE of four lnRNAs found in the microarray analysis. The Y-axis indicates the FC (log2 transformed) computed from the qPCR and microarray data. Gene expression is normalized to β-actin and presented as mean ± SD. All the mRNAs and lncRNAs were up-regulated in the CG tissues (*, P<0.05). CNC, coding-non-coding co-expression; FC, fold change; qRT-PCR, quantitative real-time PCR; DE, differential expression; lncRNA, long non-coding RNA; mRNA, messenger RNA; CG, cystitis glandularis; N, normal.
