Long Noncoding RNA and mRNA Expression Profiles in Rats with LPS-induced Myocardial Dysfunction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sepsis is an uncontrolled systemic inflammatory response. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis. However, little is known about the roles of lncRNAs in sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction.

Objective

We aimed to determine the regulatory mechanism of lncRNAs in sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction.

Methods

In this study, we analysed the lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles using microarray analysis. Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, protein-protein interaction network, and gene set enrichment analysis were used to evaluate the data. We also constructed coding and noncoding coexpression and competing endogenous RNA networks to investigate the mechanisms.

Results

In vivo lipopolysaccharide -induced sepsis rat model was established. A total of 387 lncRNAs and 1,952 mRNAs were identified as significantly changed in the left ventricle. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis of mRNAs showed that the upregulated genes were mainly enriched in the "complement and coagulation cascade pathway" and "immune-related biological processes" terms. Eight significantly changed lncRNAs detected by RT-qPCR may be responsible for these processes. A competing endogenous RNA network was generated, and the results indicated that eight lncRNAs were related to the "calcium ion binding" process.

Conclusion

These results demonstrate that crosstalk between lncRNAs and mRNAs may play important roles in the development of sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction.

Project description:PurposeMyocardial injury is a common complication in patients with endotoxaemia/sepsis, especially in children. Moreover, it develops through an unclear pathophysiological mechanism, and effective therapies are lacking. Recently, RNA modification, particularly N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, has been found to be involved in various physiological processes and to play important roles in many diseases. However, the role of m6A modification in endotoxaemia/sepsis-induced myocardial injury is still in its infancy. Therefore, we attempted to construct the m6A modification map of myocardial injury in a rat model treated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and explore the role of m6A modification in LPS-induced myocardial injury.MethodMyocardial injury adolescent rat model was constructed by intraperitoneal injection of LPS. m6A RNA Methylation Quantification Kit was used to detect overall level of m6A modification in rat cardiac tissue. m6A-specific methylated RNA immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (MeRIP-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) were conducted to identify the altered m6A-modified genes and differentially expressed genes in cardiac tissue of rats treated by LPS and control rats (6 versus. 6). Bioinformatics was used to analyze the functions of differentially m6A modified genes, differentially expressed genes, and genes with both differential m6A modification and differential expression. qPCR was used to detect expression of m6A modification related enzymes.ResultWe found that the overall level of m6A modification in cardiac tissue of the LPS group was up-regulated compared with that of the control group. MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq results showed that genes with differential m6A modification, genes with differential expression and genes with both differential m6A modification and differential expression were closely associated with inflammatory responses and apoptosis. In addition, we found that m6A-related enzymes (Mettl16, Rbm15, Fto, Ythdc2 and Hnrnpg) were differentially expressed in the LPS group versus. the control group.Conclusionm6A modification is involved in the pathogenesis process of LPS-induced myocardial injury, possibly through the regulation of inflammatory response and apoptosis-related pathways. These results provide valuable information regarding the potential pathogenic mechanisms underlying LPS-induced myocardial injury.

Project description:BackgroundConstitution in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays a key role in the genesis, development, and prognosis of diseases. Phlegm-dampness constitution (PDC) is one of the nine constitutions in TCM, susceptible to metabolic disorders, which is mainly manifested by profuse phlegm, loose abdomen, and greasy face. Epidemiologic, genomic, and epigenetic studies have been carried out in previous works, confirming that PDC represents a distinctive population with microcosmic changes related to metabolic disorders. However, whether long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a regulatory role in metabolic disease in subjects with PDC remains largely unknown. We aimed to investigate distinct lncRNA and mRNA expression signatures and lncRNA-mRNA regulatory networks in the phlegm-dampness constitution (PDC).MethodsThe peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from the subjects with PDC (n = 13) and balanced constitution (BC) (n = 9). The profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in PBMCs were analyzed using microarray and further validated with RT-qPCR. Subsequently, pathway analysis was performed to investigate the function of differentially expressed mRNAs by using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA).ResultsResults suggested that some mRNAs, which were regulated by the differentially expressed lncRNAs, were mainly enriched in lipid metabolism and immune inflammation-related pathways. This was consistent with the molecular characteristics of previous studies, indicating that the clinical characteristics of metabolic disorders in PDC might be regulated by lncRNAs. Furthermore, by making coexpression network construction as well as cis-regulated target gene analysis, several lncRNA-mRNA pairs with potential regulatory relationships were identified by bioinformatic analyses, including RP11-317J10.2-CA3, RP11-809C18.3-PIP4K2A, LINC0069-RFTN1, TTTY15-ARHGEF9, and AC135048.13-ORAI3.ConclusionsThis study first revealed that the expression characteristics of lncRNAs/mRNAs may be potential biomarkers, indicating that the distinctive physical and clinical characteristics of PDC might be partially attributed to the specific expression signatures of lncRNAs/mRNAs.
