【Objective】 To establish a co-expression lncRNA-mRNA ceRNA network and explore the potential molecular mechanism of lncRNA in dengue fever. 【Methods】 DENV-2-infected and normal pHUVEC were sequenced and screened for differentially expressed lncRNA and mRNA by gene microarray technology. Differentially expressed mRNA was analyzed by protein-protein interaction (PPI), and significantly related co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA was screened by Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The microRNA (miRNA) that bound to co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA was predicted by the database. The ceRNA network of co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA was constructed by Cytoscape software. Finally differentially expressed mRNAs and co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA were analyzed by GO and KEGG enrichment, and co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA was verified by RT-qPCR. 【Results】 At 48 h and 72 h after infection, 105 and 51 differentially expressed mRNAs were obtained, respectively, while 59 and 29 differentially expressed lncRNAs were obtained, respectively. Furthermore, at the two time intervals, there were 10 differential mRNAs and 5 differential lncRNAs, respectively. PPI analysis of differential mRNAs showed that isocratic values of interleukin 6 (IL6), interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 2 (IFIT2), and 2’-5’-oligoadenylate synthetase 2 (OAS2) were relatively high. The pairing results of lncRNA-mRNA co-expression analysis with the highest correlation coefficients at 48 h and 72 h after infection were XLOC_001966-SMTNL1 and XLOC_001966-ESR2, respectively. According to Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis, the functions of differentially expressed mRNA and co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA were mainly involved in virus epidemic prevention response, immune response, and signal transduction, as well as the Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway, type I interferon, and cytokine receptor interaction. RT-qPCR revealed that lncRNA XLOC-I2-8991 was upregulated in the co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA, whereas all the other lncRNA and mRNA were downregulated. 【Conclusion】 This study initially revealed the potential lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network during dengue virus infection, and found that co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA was mainly enriched in the immune regulation and signal transduction pathways during virus infection. The findings will help further exploration into the infection mechanism of DENV-2.
