Polyadenylated RNA Sequencing of C57BL/6J Embryonic, Adult and Pressure-Overloaded Hearts

ABSTRACT: A few reports have implicated specific lncRNAs in cardiac development or failure, but precise details of lncRNAs expressed in hearts and how their expression may be altered during embryonic heart development or by adult heart disease is unknown. By comparing lncRNA profiles of normal embryonic (~E14), normal adult, and hypertrophied adult hearts we defined a distinct fetal lncRNA abundance signature that includes 157 lncRNAs differentially expressed compared to adults (fold-change ≥ 50%, FDR=0.02), and which was only poorly recapitulated in hypertrophied hearts (17 differentially expressed lncRNAs; 13 of these observed in embryonic hearts). Analysis of protein-coding mRNAs from the same samples identified 22 concordantly and 11 reciprocally regulated mRNAs within 10 kb of dynamically expressed lncRNAs, reciprocal relationships of lncRNA and mRNA levels was validated for the Mccc1 and Relb genes using in vitro lncRNA knockdown in C2C12 cells. Network analysis suggested a central role for lncRNAs in modulating NFkappaB- and CREB1-regulated genes during embryonic heart growth and identified multiple mRNAs within these pathways that are also regulated, but independently of lncRNAs. Cardiac polyadenylated RNA (mRNA and lncRNA) profiles were generated from C57BL/6J mouse hearts were generated on Illumina HiSeq 2000 instruments. 7 independent E13.5 hearts, 12 adult hearts (6 at 6 weeks of age, 6 at 16 weeks of age), 4 sham-operated hearts at 12 weeks of age, and 4 hearts after 4 weeks of pressure overload (TAC) at 12 weeks of age.

Project description:Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly implicated as gene regulators and may ultimately be more numerous than protein-coding genes in the human genome. Despite large numbers of reported lncRNAs, reference annotations are likely incomplete due to their lower and tighter tissue-specific expression compared to mRNAs. An unexplored factor potentially confounding lncRNA identification is inter-individual expression variability. Here, we characterize lncRNA natural expression variability in human primary granulocytes. Results: We annotate granulocyte lncRNAs and mRNAs in RNA-seq data from ten healthy individuals, identifying multiple lncRNAs absent from reference annotations, and use this to investigate three known features (higher tissue-specificity, lower expression, and reduced splicing efficiency) of lncRNAs relative to mRNAs. Expression variability was examined in seven individuals sampled three times at one or more than one month intervals. We show that lncRNAs display significantly more inter-individual expression variability compared to mRNAs. We confirm this finding in 2 independent human datasets by analyzing multiple tissues from the GTEx project and lymphoblastoid cell lines from the GEUVADIS project. Using the latter dataset we also show that including more human donors into the transcriptome annotation pipeline allows identification of an increasing number of lncRNAs, but minimally affects mRNA gene number. Conclusions: A comprehensive annotation of lncRNAs is known to require an approach that is sensitive to low and tight tissue-specific expression. Here we show that increased inter-individual expression variability is an additional general lncRNA feature to consider when creating a comprehensive annotation of human lncRNAs or proposing their use as prognostic or disease markers. We used PolyA+ RNA-seq data from human primary granulocytes of 10 healthy individuals to de novo annotate lncRNAs and mRNAs in this cell type and ribosomal depleted (total) RNA-seq data from seven of these individuals sampled three times to analyze lncRNA amd mRNA expression variability

Project description:Recent studies show that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in human cancers. However, functional lncRNAs and their downstream mechanisms are largely unknown in the molecular pathogenesis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and its progression. In the present study, we performed transcriptomic profiling of five ICC and paired adjacent noncancerous tissues (N) using lncRNA and mRNA microarrays to identify relevant biomarkers in ICC. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to validate the microarray results. We sought correlations between the expression levels of lncRNAs and those of target genes. Clinicopathological characteristics and overall survival were compared using the t-test and the Kaplan–Meier method, respectively. A total of 3,054 and 2,111 lncRNAs were significantly up- and down-regulated(fold change?2, p?0.05) in ICC tissues compared to the adjacent NT samples. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that most such genes were related to carcinogenesis, hepatic system disease, and signal transduction. Positive correlations were evident between four pairs of lncRNAs and target mRNAs (RNA43085 and SULF1, RNA47504 and KDM8, RNA58630 and PCSK6, and RNA40057 and CYP2D6). In addition, some lncRNAs and mRNAs were significantly associated with clinicopathological characteristics. The cumulative overall survival rate was significantly associated with low-level expression of CYP2D6 (p=0.005) and PCSK6 (p=0.038). And patients with high expression levels of CYP2D6 and RNA40057 have significant better prognosis (p=0.014). Our results suggested that lncRNA expression profile in ICC tissues is profoundly different from that in NT samples. The lncRNA signature could be used as a biomarker for the prognosis of patients with ICC. Furthermore, the combination of lncRNA and mRNA can reliably predict the survival. The lncRNA expression profiles of cancer and adjacent normal tissues form 5 ICC patients were studied by microarray and an combination of lncRNA and mRNA could be used as a biomarker for the prognosis of patients with ICC

Project description:Objective: Globally, esophageal cancer is among the most deadly cancer forms. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are frequently found to have important regulatory roles. We aim to assess the lncRNA expression profile of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and identify prognosis related lncRNAs. Design: LncRNA expression profiles were studied by microarray in paired tumor and normal tissues from 119 ESCC patients, and validated by qRT-PCR. The 119 patients were subsequently divided randomly into training (n=60) and test (n=59) groups. A prognostic signature was developed from the training group using a random forest supervised classification algorithm and a nearest shrunken centroid algorithm, and validated in test group and further in an independent cohort (n=60). The independence of the signature in survival prediction was evaluated by Multivariable Cox regression analysis. Results: LncRNAs showed significantly altered expression in ESCC tissues. From the training group, we identified a three-lncRNA signature (including the lncRNAs ENST00000435885•1, XLOC_013014, and ENST00000547963•1) which classified the patients into two groups with significantly different overall survival (median survival 19•2 months vs. not reached, p<0•0001). The signature was applied to the test group (median survival 21•5 months vs. not reached, p=0•0030) and independent cohort (median survival 25•8 months vs. not reached, p=0•0187) and showed similar prognostic values in both. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that the signature was an independent prognostic factor for ESCC patients. Stratified analysis suggested that the signature was prognostic within clinical stages. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the three-lncRNA signature can serve as a novel biomarker for the prognosis of ESCC patients. Application of it allows for more accurate survival prediction. The lncRNA expression profiles of cancer and adjacent normal tissues form 119 ESCC patients were studied by microarray and an lncRNA signature that can perdict the survival of ESCC patients was identified.
