Methods: Mononuclear cells were collected from 120 patients with COPD and 110 normal controls. The expression of lncRNA SNHG3 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was detected by RT-PCR and the difference between COPD group and normal group, and the difference between mild, moderate, severe, extremely severe COPD and health volunteers was analyzed. Results: The relative expression of SNHG3 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of COPD patients was 1.52 ± 0.52, which was lower than that of the normal control group (2.51 ± 0.59) (P < 0.001). The relative expression of SNHG3 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of mild COPD was 2.16 ± 0.23, which was higher than that of moderate group (1.55 ± 0.10) (P < 0.001), severe group 1.19 ± 0.11 (P< 0.001), and extremely severe group 0.89 ± 0.06(P < 0.001). In addition, lncRNA SNHG3 can bind to miR-186 and regulate its expression. Conclusions: The expression of lncRNA SNHG3 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of COPD patients may be a risk factor for COPD and an indicator of the severity of COPD patients. The lncRNA SNHG3/miR-186 regulatory network may play an important role in the development of COPD.展开更多
