In addition, the results of the ceRNA regulatory network revealed that lncRNA, XR_351927.3, ENSRNOT-00000089581, XR_597359.2, XR_591602.2, and XR_001842089.1 have maximum connections with DE-mRNAs, and AURKB, MELK, and CDK1 are potential regulatory targets of these lncRNAs throughout the development of DCM. Here, MELK is linked to familial dilated cardiomyopathy.
