Abstract
Background:As the most common type of cerebrovascular disease, ischemic stroke is the disturbance of cerebrovascular circulation caused by various factors, with complex pathogenesis. At present, the molecular mechanism of ischemic stroke is still unclear, and there lacks early diagnostic markers. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find effective preventive measures, active diagnostic methods and rapid treatment measures. In recent years, related studies have displayed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is related to the prognosis of ischemic stroke. However, the results are not supported by some evidence. Therefore, in this study, meta-analysis was used to analyze the relationship between lncRNAs and the prognosis of ischemic stroke. In addition, we carried out bioinformatics analysis to study the action mechanism and related pathways of lncRNAs in ischemic stroke.Methods:Literature search was operated on databases up to March 2021, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical literature Database, Chinese Scientific and Journal Database, Wan Fang database, Web of Science, PubMed, and EMBASE. The relationship between lncRNAs expression and survival outcome was estimated by hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Meta-analysis was conducted on the Stata 16.0. Starbase v2.0 software predicts microRNAs (miRNAs) that interacts with lncRNAs. In addition, HMDD v2.0 database filters out miRNAs related to ischemic stroke. Furthermore, Consite transcription factor database was used to predict the transcription factors of each lncRNAs and miRNA. At the same time, the transcription factors related to ischemic stroke were screened out after intersection. miRwalk online software was applied to predict the target mRNA of each miRNA, and the common target genes were screened by consistent method. The molecular regulatory network map of lncRNAs in ischemic stroke was drawn. Based on the overlapping target genes, gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis were carried out to explore the possible mechanism.Results:The results of this meta-analysis would be submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publication.Conclusion:This study will provide evidence-based medical evidence for the relationship between lncRNA and the prognosis of ischemic stroke. What is more, bioinformatics analysis will provide ideas for the study of ischemic stroke mechanism.Ethics and dissemination:The private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also should not damage participants’ rights. Ethical approval is not available. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated in relevant conferences.OSF Registration Number:DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/QBZW6.
