Identification of differentially expressed lncRNAs and their potential target mRNAs in animal and cellular models of AHL. (A) Heat map of candidate lncRNA expression levels in six-week-old and one-year-old mice. The gradient color barcode at the top right indicates the log₂ FPKM. Relative expression of the selected lncRNAs (B) and mRNAs (D) in the cochlear tissues, as detected by qRT-PCR. Tissues from the 6w mouse group were used as a control. Relative expression of the selected lncRNAs (C) and mRNAs (E) in a cellular model of AHL. Cells not treated with H₂O₂ were used as a control. *P < 0.05 compared to control.
