Expression data that were specifically regulated by lncRNA-HELF (ENSMUST00000147617 ) in livers of mice undergoing CCl4-induced liver fibrosis

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in numerous biological functions and pathological processes. In this study, we have identified a novel lncRNA ENSMUST00000147617, named Highly Expressed in Liver Fibrosis (lnc-HELF), which is remarkably up-regulated in mouse and human fibrotic livers. To identify the roles of lnc-HELF in liver fibrosis, we performed RNA-seq to analyze the effect of lnc-HELF deficient on CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. The mice were divided in three groups: mice treated with CCl4 in combination with injection of AAV8-NC (NC_CCl4, n=3), mice treated with CCl4 in combination with injection of AAV8-shRNA-lncHELF1# (sh1_CCl4, n=3) and mice treated with CCl4 in combination with injection of AAV8-shRNA-lncHELF2# (sh2_CCl4, n=3). The mice were divided in three groups: mice treated with CCl4 in combination with injection of AAV8-NC (NC_CCl4, n=3), mice treated with CCl4 in combination with injection of AAV8-shRNA-lncHELF1# (sh1_CCl4, n=3) and mice treated with CCl4 in combination with injection of AAV8-shRNA-lncHELF2# (sh2_CCl4, n=3).
