Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in cellular physiology. We evaluated the effect of focal ischemia on the expression of 8,314 lncRNAs in rat cerebral cortex using microarrays. Ischemia was induced by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. Genomic and transcriptomic correlates of the stroke-responsive lncRNAs and the transcription factor binding sties in their promoters were evaluated with bioinformatics. 359 lncRNAs were upregulated (>2-fold) and 84 were downregulated (<0.5 fold) at 3h to 12h of reperfusion following MCAO compared to sham. 62 stroke-responsive lncRNAs showed >90% sequence homology with exons of protein-coding genes. Promoters of stroke-responsive lncRNA genes and their homologous protein-coding genes showed highly overlapping transcription factor binding sites. Despite presence of ORFs, lncRNAs did not form any product when subjected to in vitro translation. Stroke significantly alters cerebral lncRNA expression profiles.
