Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the expression of long non-coding RNA MALAT1, interleukin 6(IL-6) and apoptosis induced factor(AIF) in peripheral venous blood of premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and its clinical significance.Methods:Preterm infants admitted to the Department of Neonatology, Shanghai Children′s Hospital from January 2015 to December 2016 were enrolled.The selection criteria included gestational age (GA) ≥28 weeks and ≤32 weeks, and birth weight (BW) < 1 500 g. According to the diagnosis, they were divided into BPD group (20 cases) and control group (20 cases). The clinical data of the two groups of premature infants were collected and analyzed, and the levels of MALAT1, IL-6 and AIF in the blood of 40 premature infants were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). T test was used to compare gestational age, birth weight, MALAT1, IL-6 and AIF between the two groups. Results:(1)There was no significant differences in sex ( χ2=1.76), gestational age ( t= 0.17) and birth weight ( t=1.25) of premature infants in BPD group, compared with the control group (all P >0.05). (2)Compared with the control group, the expression of MALAT1 in the peripheral blood of premature infants in BPD group were significantly increased (0.273 4±0.067 3 vs. 0.375 5±0.081 9, P<0.05). (3)Compared with the control group, the expression of IL-6 in the peripheral blood of premature infants in BPD group were obviously decreased (1.448 8±0.191 8 vs.4.444 6±0.165 7, P<0.05). (4)Compared with the control group, the expression of AIF in the peripheral blood of premature infants in BPD group were remarkably decreased(0.006 8±0.002 0 vs.0.004 5±0.001 9, P<0.05). Conclusions:MALAT1 and IL-6 levels of long non-coding RNA in BPD and non-BPD preterm infants are different, which may be related to the incidence of BPD.IL-6 may be a predictor of BPD, and MALAT1 may protect premature infants with BPD.
