Uncovering the mechanisms-based quality control of traditional Chinese medicine against essential hypertension by network analysis and experimental validation

A total of 4276 lncRNAs (1426 upregulated and 2850 down-regulated) and 9230 mRNAs (5187 upregulated and 4043 down-regulated) were differently expressed in SHR-C compared with WKY, whereas 265 lncRNAs (65 up-regulated and 200 down-regulated) and 267 mRNAs (132 upregulated and 135 down-regulated) were differently expressed after BSJY treatment (fold change >2. 0 and P value 2. 0 and P value < 0. 05). It showed the heatmap that were constructed using fold change, It showed the Volcano plots that were constructed using fold change values and P values and revealed the relationship between fold change and statistical significance. Overall design: We applied microarray analysis to examine lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in thoracic aorta tissues of SHRs with (SHR-Bh or Ca) or without treatment (SHR-C) and wistar rats (WKY).
