Identification of m6A methylation-related genes in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion of Breviscapus therapy based on bioinformatics method

ABSTRACT: Abstract Background: Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) frequently caused the late-onset neuronal damage. Breviscapine has a promote in autophagy of microvascular endothelial cells in I/R and it can inhibit the oxidative damage and apoptosis. However, the mediation mechanism of breviscapine on neuronal cell death is unclear. Methods: Firstly, transcriptome sequencing was performed on three groups of mice neuronal normal group (Control group), oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation group (OGD/R group) and breviscapine administration group (Therapy group). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between OGD/R and Control groups, and between Therapy and OGD/R groups were obtained by limma package. The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation related DEGs were selected out by the Pearson correlation analysis. Then, prediction and confirmation of drug targets were performed by Swiss Target Prediction and UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) datebase, and key genes were obtained by Pearson correlation analysis between m6A-related DEGs and drug target genes. Next, gene set enrichment (GSEA) analysis and Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) were used to obtain the pathways of key genes. Finally, a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was constructed based on the mRNAs, circRNAs and miRNAs. Results: 2250 DEGs between OGD/R and Control groups and 757 DEGs between Therapy and OGD/R groups were selected out by differential analysis. A total of 7 m6A related DEGs including Arl4d, Gm10653, Gm1113, Kcns3, Olfml2a, Stk26 and Tfcp2l1 were obtained by Pearson correlation analysis. Four key genes (Tfcp2l1, Kcns3, Olfml2a and Arl4d) were acquired, and GSEA showed that these key genes were significantly participated in DNA repair, e2f targets and g2m checkpoint. IPA revealed that Tfcp2l1 played a significant role in human embryonic stem cell pluripotency. The circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network showed that the mmu_circ_0001258 regulated the Tfcp2l1 by mmu-miR-301b-3p. Conclusions: In conclusion, four key genes including Tfcp2l1, Kcns3, Olfml2a and Arl4d significantly associated with the treatment of OGD/R by breviscapine were acquired, which would provide a theoretical basis for clinical trials.

Project description:Mastitis is a common disease that hinders the development of dairy industry and animal husbandry. It leads to the abuse of antibiotics, the emergence of super drug-resistant bacteria, and poses a great threat to human food health and safety. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) are the most common pathogens of mastitis in dairy cows and usually cause subclinical or clinical mastitis. CircRNAs and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) play important roles in immunological diseases. However, the mechanisms by which m6A modifies circRNA in bovine mammary epithelial cells remain poorly understood. The aim of our study was to investigate m6A-modified circRNAs in bovine mammary epithelial cells (MAC-T cells) injured by S. aureus and E. coli. The profile of m6A-modified circRNA showed a total of 1599 m6A peaks within 1035 circRNAs in the control group, 35 peaks within 32 circRNAs in the S. aureus group, and 1016 peaks within 728 circRNAs in the E. coli group. Compared with the control group, 67 peaks within 63 circRNAs were significantly different in the S. aureus group, and 192 peaks within 137 circRNAs were significantly different in the E. coli group. Furthermore, we found the source genes of these differentially m6A-modified circRNAs in the S. aureus and E. coli groups with similar functions according to GO and KEGG analyses, which were mainly associated with cells injury, such as inflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy. CircRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction networks predicted the potential circRNA regulation mechanism in S. aureus- and E. coli-induced cell injury. We found that the mRNAs in the networks, such as BCL2, MIF and TNFAIP8L2, greatly participated in the MAPK, WNT, and inflammation pathways. This is the first report on m6A-modified circRNA regulation of cells under S. aureus and E. coli treatment, and sheds new light on potential mechanisms and targets from the perspective of epigenetic modification in mastitis and other inflammatory diseases.

Project description:Background: Acacetin is a natural flavonoid known for its anti-tumor, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Our previous studies have shown its protective effects against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Purpose: The study delves into acacetin's mechanism in mitigating cerebral IRI, with a focus on transcriptomic insights. Methods: We established the oxygen-glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation (OGD/R) model in BV2 microglia, treating them with 10μM acacetin. Then we assessed cell proliferation using CCK-8 and measured Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) release. High-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) underpinned the analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), functional enrichment, and alternative splicing events (ASEs), validated by reverse transcription–quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Results: OGD/R injury significantly impaired cell proliferation and increased LDH release, effects mitigated by acacetin. RNA-seq identified 2,148 upregulated and 2,135 downregulated DEGs post-OGD/R. In contrast, the acacetin-treated group showed 248 upregulated and 240 downregulated DEGs compared to the OGD/R group. All DEGs were enriched in both Gene Ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. Overlapping analysis indicated that acacetin treatment reversed the expression of 203 genes affected by OGD/R, including inflammation-related genes such as Isg15, Fcgr1, Il1b, and Parp12. Moreover, the oxidative stress-related gene, Mt2, was downregulated post-OGD/R but upregulated following acacetin treatment. We further found that OGD/R and acacetin treatment could modulate gene splicing events, impacting cell apoptosis or inflammatory responses, such as the A3SS splicing event in the Trim47 gene. RNA-seq also highlighted differential expression of numerous lncRNAs, particularly the upregulation of lncRNA Rmrp and Terc post-OGD/R and their subsequent downregulation post-acacetin treatment. These lncRNAs might regulate cell proliferation through mediating target gene expressions. RT-qPCR validation confirmed these findings. Conclusion: Significant upregulation of genes and ASEs linked to oxidative stress and inflammatory response is observed in cerebral IRI. Acacetin intervention reverses these effects, highlighting its mechanism in alleviating the injury by modulating gene expression and splicing events.
