Abstract

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are major genetic factors whose disruption lead to many diseases, including nervous system diseases. Bipolar disorder (BD) is a neuro-psychiatric disease with no definitive diagnosis and incomplete treatment. Regarding the role of NF-κB-associated lncRNAs in the neuro-psychiatric disorders, we examined the expression of three lncRNAs, DICER1-AS1, DILC, and CHAST, in BD patients. To assess lncRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 50 BD patients and 50 healthy individuals, Real-time PCR was used. Additionally, some clinical characteristics of BD patients were investigated via an analysis of ROC curves and correlations. Based on our results, the expression level of CHAST increased significantly in BD patients in comparison with healthy people, in BD men compared with healthy men, as well as in BD women in comparison with control females (p < 0.05). A similar increase in expression was observed for DILC and DICER1-AS1 lncRNAs in female patients compared with healthy women. Whereas compared to healthy men, DILC was decreased in diseased men. Based on the results of the ROC curve, the area under the curve (AUC) for CHAST lncRNA was 0.83 with a P value of 0.0001. So, the expression level of CHAST lncRNA could play a role in the pathobiology of the BD and be considered a good putative biomarker for individuals with bipolar disorder.
