abstract：:Abnormally expressed long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been recognized as one of the key source in cardiac diseases. However, the role of lncRNA in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity remains largely unknown. In previous studies, we have screened some aberrantly expressed lncRNAs from an animal model for DOX-indu...
