abstract = {Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease of unknown pathogenesis with no effective treatment currently available. Given the regulatory roles of lncRNAs (TP53TG1, LINC00342, H19, MALAT1, DNM3OS, MEG3), miRNAs (miR-218-5p, miR-126-3p, miR-200a-3p, miR-18a-5p, miR-29a-3p), and their target protein-coding genes (PTEN, TGFB2, FOXO3, KEAP1) in the TGF-β/SMAD3, Wnt/β-catenin, focal adhesion, and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, we investigated the expression levels of selected genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and lung tissue from patients with IPF. Lung tissue and blood samples were collected from 33 newly diagnosed, treatment-naive patients and 70 healthy controls. Gene expression levels were analyzed by RT-qPCR. TaqMan assays and TaqMan MicroRNA assay were employed to quantify the expression of target lncRNAs, mRNAs, and miRNAs. Our study identified significant differential expression in PBMCs from IPF patients compared to healthy controls, including lncRNAs MALAT1 (Fold Change = 3.809, P = 0.0001), TP53TG1 (Fold Change = 0.4261, P = 0.0021), and LINC00342 (Fold Change = 1.837, P = 0.0448); miRNAs miR-126-3p (Fold Change = 0.102, P = 0.0028), miR-200a-3p (Fold Change = 0.442, P = 0.0055), and miR-18a-5p (Fold Change = 0.154, P = 0.0034); and mRNAs FOXO3 (Fold Change = 4.604, P = 0.0032) and PTEN (Fold Change = 2.22, P = 0.0011). In lung tissue from IPF patients, significant expression changes were observed in TP53TG1 (Fold Change = 0.2091, P = 0.0305) and DNM3OS (Fold Change = 4.759, P = 0.05). Combined analysis of PBMCs expression levels for TP53TG1, MALAT1, miRNA miR-126-3p, and PTEN distinguished IPF patients from healthy controls with an AUC = 0.971, sensitivity = 0.80, and specificity = 0.955 (P = 6 × 10–8). These findings suggest a potential involvement of the identified ncRNAs and mRNAs in IPF pathogenesis. However, additional functional validation studies are needed to elucidate the precise molecular mechanisms by which these lncRNAs, miRNAs, and their targets contribute to PF. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2025.},
