Increasing evidence has demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can regulate the immune response in pulpitis. This study focused on finding the key immune-related lncRNAs that regulate the development of pulpitis. Methods: Differentially expressed lncRNAs were analyzed. Enrichment analysis was performed to explore the function of differentially expressed genes. Immune cell infiltration was evaluated with Immune Cell Abundance Identifier. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and lactate dehydrogenase release assays were conducted to measure the viability of human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) and BALL-1 cells. Transwell assay was processed to prove migration and invasion of BALL-1 cells. Results: Our results revealed that 17 lncRNAs were significantly upregulated. Pulpitis-related genes were mainly enriched in inflammatory relative signal pathways. The abundance of various immune cells was significantly abnormal in pulpitis tissues, among which the expression of eight lncRNAs was significantly correlated with the expression of B cell marker protein CD79B. As the most relevant lncRNA for B cells, LINC00582 could regulate the proliferation, migration, invasion, and CD79B expression of BALL-1 cells. Conclusions: Our study identified eight B cell immune-related lncRNAs. Meanwhile, LINC00582 has a positive effect on B cell immunity in the development of pulpitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics13101678","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,10]],"date-time":"2023-05-10T01:40:02Z","timestamp":1683682802000},"page":"1678","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Identification and Experimental Validation of LINC00582 Associated with B Cell Immune and Development of Pulpitis: Bioinformatics and In Vitro Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Wenting","family":"Gong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University North District, Hefei 230000, China"},{"name":"Anhui Public Health Clinical Center, Hefei 230000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lilin","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University North District, Hefei 230000, China"},{"name":"Anhui Public Health Clinical Center, Hefei 230000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Qian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University North District, Hefei 230000, China"},{"name":"Anhui Public Health Clinical Center, Hefei 230000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"155983","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cyto.2022.155983","article-title":"Inflammation down regulates stromal cell-derived factor 1alpha in the early phase of pulpitis","volume":"158","author":"Leng","year":"2022","journal-title":"Cytokine"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Gufran, K., Mirza, M.B., Robaian, A., Alqahtani, A.S., Alqhtani, N.R., Alasqah, M., and Alsakr, A.M.
