Long noncoding RNA expression profiles of lung adenocarcinoma ascertained by microarray analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to be involved in the development and progression of lung cancer. However, the roles of lncRNAs in lung cancer are not well understood.

Methodology/principal findings

We used a high-throughput microarray to compare the lncRNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression profiles in lung adenocarcinoma and normal tissue (NT) samples. Several candidate adenocarcinoma-associated lncRNAs were verified by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. Using abundant and varied probes, we were able to assess 30,586 lncRNAs and 26,109 mRNAs in our microarray. We found that 2,420 lncRNAs and 1,109 mRNAs were differentially expressed (?2-fold change) in lung adenocarcinoma samples and NT, indicating that many lncRNAs were significantly upregulated or downregulated in lung adenocarcinoma. We also found, via quantitative PCR, that 19 lncRNAs were aberrantly expressed in lung adenocarcinoma compared with matched histologically normal lung tissues. Among these, LOC100132354 and RPLP0P2 were the most aberrantly expressed lncRNAs, as estimated by quantitative PCR in 100 pairs of lung adenocarcinoma and NT samples.

Conclusions/significance

Our study ascertained the expression patterns of lncRNAs in lung adenocarcinoma by microarray. The results revealed that many lncRNAs were differentially expressed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and NT, suggesting that they may play a key role in tumor development.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve a crucial role in every aspect of cell biological functions as well as in a variety of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and nervous system disease. However, the differential expression profiles of lncRNAs in Marfan syndrome (MFS) have not been reported. The aim of the present study was to identify potential target genes behind the pathogenesis of MFS by analyzing microarray profiles of lncRNA in aortic tissues from individuals with MFS and normal aortas (NA). The differentially expressed lncRNA profiles between MFS (n=3) and NA (n=4) tissues were analyzed using microarrays. Bioinformatics analyses were used to further investigate the candidate lncRNAs. Reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-qPCR) was applied to validate the results. In total, the present study identified 294 lncRNAs (245 upregulated and 49 downregulated) and 644 mRNAs (455 upregulated and 189 downregulated) which were differential expressed between MFS and NA tissues (fold change ≥1.5; P<0.05). Gene Ontology enrichment analysis indicated that the differentially expressed mRNAs were involved in cell adhesion, elastic fiber assembly, extracellular matrix (ECM) organization, the response to virus and the inflammatory response. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genomes pathway analysis indicated that the differentially expressed mRNAs were mainly associated with focal adhesion, the ECM-receptor interaction, the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway and the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway. The lncRNA-mRNA coexpression network analysis further elucidated the interaction between the lncRNAs and mRNAs. A total of five lncRNAs (uc003jka.1, uc003jox.1, X-inactive specific transcript, linc-lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 and linc-peptidylprolyl isomerase domain and WD repeat containing 1) with the highest degree of coexpression were selected and confirmed using RT-qPCR. In the present study, expression profiles of lncRNA and mRNA in MFS were revealed using microarray analysis. These results provided novel candidates for further investigation of the molecular mechanisms and effective targeted therapies for MFS.
