Epigenetic modifications play critical roles in gene expression regulation, and have been associated with the induction and maintenance of various human cancers. The common epigenetic changes include DNA methylation, histone modifications and chromatin remodeling, which are mediated by the enzymes that chemically modify genomic DNA, histones, and chromatin remodeling factors. LncRNAs have emerged as novel epigenetic modulators, and might participate in epigenetic signaling pathway by targeting the critical epigenetic modification enzymes and protein factors.

The LncPath™ Human Epigenetic Pathway LncRNA Microarray simultaneously profiles the expression of 1,321 LncRNAs and 477 their potential coding targets related to the epigenetic signaling pathway. The LncPath™ Mouse Epigenetic Pathway LncRNA Microarray simultaneously profiles the expression of 884 LncRNAs and 835 their potential coding targets related to the epigenetic signaling pathway. The LncRNAs whose gene loci located at or near the protein-coding genes critical in the epigenetic pathway, and LncRNAs which have high possibility as the potential ceRNAs of the key epigenetic genes, are carefully selected from the authoritative databases by using a rigorous process. By limiting LncRNAs to those most relevant to the epigenetic pathway, analysis can be achieved quickly and precisely due to a highly specific yet smaller data set. More importantly, it can establish the expression relationship between LncRNAs and their potential protein-coding targets involved in the epigenetic signaling pathway, thereby providing comprehensive insights into the underlying regulatory mechanisms of LncRNAs in epigenetic modifications.
