Understanding the interactions between miRNAs and genes they regulate during the acute phase response is crucial to our understanding of inflammatory diseases and processes. Inducing the acute phase response in hepatocytes by stimulating them with interleukin-6 [1] and then examining global changes in mRNA and miRNA expression can provide insight into the timing and dynamics of these interactions. Here we provide additional data for our study, Ref. [2]. In this data, we identify and validate IL- ...[more]

Project description:The interactions between miRNAs and the genes that they regulate during the acute phase response have not been investigated. We examined the effects of IL-6 stimulation on the transcriptome and miRNome of human and mouse primary hepatocytes and the HepG2 cell line. Using an integrated analysis, we identified differentially expressed miRNAs whose seed sequences are significantly enriched in the 3′ untranslated regions of differentially expressed genes, many of which are involved in inflammation-related pathways.

Project description:Glioblastoma arises from complex interactions between a variety of genetic alterations and environmental perturbations. Little attention has been paid to understanding how genetic variations, altered gene expression and microRNA (miRNA) expression are integrated into networks which act together to alter regulation and finally lead to the emergence of complex phenotypes and glioblastoma.We identified association of somatic mutations in 14 genes with glioblastoma, of which 8 genes are newly identified, and association of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is identified in 11 genes with glioblastoma, of which 9 genes are newly discovered. By gene coexpression network analysis, we identified 15 genes essential to the function of the network, most of which are cancer related genes. We also constructed miRNA coexpression networks and found 19 important miRNAs of which 3 were significantly related to glioblastoma patients' survival. We identified 3,953 predicted miRNA-mRNA pairs, of which 14 were previously verified by experiments in other groups. Using pathway enrichment analysis we also found that the genes in the target network of the top 19 important miRNAs were mainly involved in cancer related signaling pathways, synaptic transmission and nervous systems processes. Finally, we developed new methods to decipher the pathway connecting mutations, expression information and glioblastoma. We identified 4 cis-expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL): TP53, EGFR, NF1 and PIK3C2G; 262 trans eQTL and 26 trans miRNA eQTL for somatic mutation; 2 cis-eQTL: NRAP and EGFR; 409 trans- eQTL and 27 trans- miRNA eQTL for lost of heterozygosity (LOH) mutation.Our results demonstrate that integrated analysis of multi-dimensional data has the potential to unravel the mechanism of tumor initiation and progression.

Project description:Increasing amounts of evidence indicate that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have important roles in various biological processes. Here, miRNA, lncRNA, and mRNA expression profiles were analyzed in human HepG2 and L02 cells using high-throughput technologies. An integrative method was developed to identify possible functional relationships between different RNA molecules. The dominant deregulated miRNAs were prone to be downregulated in tumor cells, and the most abnormal mRNAs and lncRNAs were always upregulated. However, the genome-wide analysis of differentially expressed RNA species did not show significant bias between up- and downregulated populations. miRNA-mRNA interaction was performed based on their regulatory relationships, and miRNA-lncRNA and mRNA-lncRNA interactions were thoroughly surveyed and identified based on their locational distributions and sequence correlations. Aberrantly expressed miRNAs were further analyzed based on their multiple isomiRs. IsomiR repertoires and expression patterns were varied across miRNA loci. Several specific miRNA loci showed differences between tumor and normal cells, especially with respect to abnormally expressed miRNA species. These findings suggest that isomiR repertoires and expression patterns might contribute to tumorigenesis through different biological roles. Systematic and integrative analysis of different RNA molecules with potential cross-talk may make great contributions to the unveiling of the complex mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis.

Project description:BackgroundIndependent transcriptome profile analyses of miRNAs or mRNAs under conditions of cadmium (Cd) stress have been widely reported in plants. However, a combined analysis of sRNA sequencing expression data with miRNA target expression data to infer the relative activities of miRNAs that regulate gene expression changes resulting from Cd stress has not been reported in rice. To elucidate the roles played by miRNAs in the regulation of changes in gene expression in response to Cd stress in rice (Oryza sativa L.), we simultaneously characterized changes in the miRNA and mRNA profiles following treatment with Cd.ResultsA total of 163 miRNAs and 2,574 mRNAs were identified to be differentially expressed under Cd stress, and the changes in the gene expression profile in the shoot were distinct from those in the root. At the miRNA level, 141 known miRNAs belonging to 48 families, and 39 known miRNAs in 23 families were identified to be differentially expressed in the root and shoot, respectively. In addition, we identified eight new miRNA candidates from the root and five from the shoot that were differentially expressed in response to Cd treatment. For the mRNAs, we identified 1,044 genes in the root and 448 genes in the shoot that were up-regulated, while 572 and 645 genes were down-regulated in the root and shoot, respectively. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that genes encoding secondary, metabolite synthases, signaling molecules, and ABC transporters were significantly enriched in the root, while only ribosomal protein and carotenoid biosynthesis genes were significantly enriched in the shoot. Then 10 known miRNA-mRNA interaction pairs and six new candidate ones, that showed the opposite expression patterns, were identified by aligning our two datasets against online databases and by using the UEA sRNA toolkit respectively.ConclusionsThis study is the first to use high throughput DNA sequencing to simultaneously detect changes in miRNA and mRNA expression patterns in the root and shoot in response to Cd treatment. These integrated high-throughput expression data provide a valuable resource to examine global genome expression changes in response to Cd treatment and how these are regulated by miRNAs.

Project description:Several studies have investigated miRNA and mRNA co-expression to identify regulatory networks at the transcriptional level. A typical finding of these studies is the presence of both negative and positive miRNA-mRNA correlations. Negative correlations are consistent with the expected, faster degradation of target mRNAs, whereas positive correlations denote the existence of feed-forward regulations mediated by transcription factors. Both mechanisms have been characterized at the molecular level, although comprehensive methods to represent miRNA-mRNA correlations are lacking. At present, genome-wide studies are able to assess the expression of more than 1000 mature miRNAs and more than 35,000 well-characterized human genes. Even if studies are generally restricted to a small subset of genes differentially expressed in specific diseases or experimental conditions, the number of potential correlations remains very high, and needs robust multivariate methods to be conveniently summarized by a small set of data.Nonparametric Kendall correlations were calculated between miRNAs and mRNAs differentially expressed in livers of patients with acute liver failure (ALF) using normal livers as controls. Spurious correlations due to the histopathological composition of samples were removed by partial correlations. Correlations were then transformed into distances and processed by multidimensional scaling (MDS) to map the miRNA and mRNA relationships. These showed: (a) a prominent displacement of miRNA and mRNA clusters in ALF livers, as compared to control livers, indicative of gene expression dysregulation; (b) a clustering of mRNAs consistent with their functional annotations [CYP450, transcription factors, complement, proliferation, HLA class II, monocytes/macrophages, T cells, T-NK cells and B cells], as well as a clustering of miRNAs with the same seed sequence; and (c) a tendency of miRNAs and mRNAs to populate distinct regions of the MDS plot. MDS also allowed to visualize the network of miRNA-mRNA target pairs.Different features of miRNA and mRNA relationships can be represented as thematic maps within the framework of MDS obtained from pairwise correlations. The symmetric distribution of positive and negative correlations between miRNA and mRNA expression suggests that miRNAs are involved in a complex bidirectional molecular network, including, but not limited to, the inhibitory regulation of miRNA targets.

Project description:p53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancers, with over half of all tumors harboring mutation at this locus. R248 and R249 (corresponding to porcine R241 and R242), are among the hotspot mutations frequently mutated in liver, lung, breast, and some other cancers. In this study, p53 gene was knocked out or point-edited (R241 and R242 were converted to 241W and 242S) in porcine fetal fibroblast (PFF) cells via CRISPR-Cas9 technique. High throughput sequencing of miRNA and mRNA uncovered a total of 225 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and 738 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the p53 knockout (p53-KO) cells, and a total of 211 DEMs and 722 DEGs in the point-modified (p53-241W242S) cells. Totally 28 annotated DEMs were found to overlap between p53-KO/p53-WT and p53-241W242S/p53-WT miRNAs datasets, of which miR-34 c, miR-218, miR-205, miR-105-1, miR-105-2, miR-206, miR-224 and miR-429 play important roles in p53 regulatory network. Among the top 10 DEGs in p53-KO and p53-241W242S cells, most genes were reported to be involved in tumors, cell proliferation or cell migration. p53-KO and p53-241W242S cells showed a significantly higher (P < 0.01) proliferation rate compared with p53-WT cells. In conclusion, genetic modifications of p53 gene significantly affect the expression levels of a large number of genes and miRNAs in the PFF cells. The p53-edited PFF cells could be used as non-tumor cell models for investigating the p53 signaling network, and as donor cells for somatic nuclear transfer, with the aim to develop porcine models with the corresponding p53 mutations.Abbreviations: CRISPR-Cas9: Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated protein 9; PFF: porcine fetal fibroblasts; SCNT: somatic cell nuclear transfer; RNA sequencing: small RNA sequencing and mRNA sequencing; DEGs: differentially expressed mRNAs; DEMs: differentially expressed miRNAs.

Project description:Molecular mechanisms responsible for gonadotrophic control of ovarian follicle development and ovulation have not been fully delineated. In this study, prepubertal female rabbits were subjected to a combined PMSG/hCG treatment for the induction of follicle maturation and ovulation. Ovaries of 6 does at different time points during gonadotrophic stimulation were collected for histomorphological examination and genome-wide analysis of miRNA and mRNA transcriptomes, and the plasma were separated for detecting melatonin (MT), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), estradiol (E2), and progesterone (P4) levels. The results suggested that PMSG promoted the development of the reproductive tract by decreasing plasma levels of E2 and slightly increasing those of MT and PGE2 and that hCG induced ovulation and corpus luteum formation by significantly increasing MT, PGE2, and P4 levels. At the transcriptomic level, a total of 1,122 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 12 DE miRNAs were identified using three-group comparisons. Meanwhile, pairwise comparisons revealed that 279 and 103 genes as well as 36 and 20 miRNAs were up- and down-regulated during PMSG-stimulated follicle development while 11 and 5 genes as well as 33 and 16 miRNAs were up- and down-regulated during hCG-induced luteinization. KEGG enrichment analysis of the DEGs derived from both three-group- and two-group comparisons as well as the predicted target genes of DE miRNAs highlighted the crucial roles of pathways involving tissue remodeling, energy metabolism, and regulation of cellular functions in mediating gonadotrophin-induced follicle maturation. Specifically, 3 genes including the matrix metallopeptidase 13 (MMP13), protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 3C (PPP1R3C), and solute carrier family 2 member 12 (SLC2A12), together with 2 miRNAs including the miR-205-1 and miR-34c, were predicted to be the promising downstream targets of both PMSG and hCG. Significantly, the miRNA-mRNA interaction pairs containing top 10 up- and down-regulated mRNAs/miRNAs upon PMSG/hCG stimulation were established, and so were those involved in the PI3K-Akt, ECM-receptor interaction, and focal adhesion pathways during PMSG-induced follicle maturation. Finally, qRT-PCR analysis confirmed the results from RNA-Seq and Small RNA-Seq. Our work may contribute to a better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of gonadotrophins on ovarian follicle development and ovulation.

Project description:Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth most important crop worldwide. Potato virus A (PVA) is one of the most harmful viruses infecting potatoes. However, the molecular mechanisms governing the responses to PVA infection in potato at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels are not well understood. In this study, we performed both mRNA and small RNA sequencing in potato leaves to identify the genes and miRNAs involved in the response to PVA infection. A total of 2,062 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 201 miRNAs (DEMs) were identified, respectively. Gene ontology (GO) and KEGG analysis revealed that these DEGs were involved in the transduction of pathogen signals, transcriptional reprogramming, induction of hormone signaling, activation of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes, and changes in secondary metabolism. Small RNA sequencing revealed 58 miRNA-mRNA interactions related to PVA infection. Some of the miRNAs (stu-miR482d-3p, stu-miR397-5p, etc) which target PR genes showed negative correlations between the DEMs and DEGs. Eight of the DEGs and three DEMs with their target genes were further validated by quantitative real time-PCR (qRT-PCR). Overall, this study provides a transcriptome-wide insight into the molecular basis of resistance to PVA infection in potato leaves and potenital candidate genes for improving resistance cultivars.

Project description:Recent studies suggest that mRNAs may be differentially expressed between males and females. This study aimed to perform expression analysis of mRNA and its main regulatory molecule, microRNA (miRNA), to discuss the potential sex-specific expression patterns using abnormal expression profiles from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Generally, deregulated miRNAs and mRNAs had consistent expression between males and females, but some miRNAs may be oppositely expressed in specific diseases: up-regulated in one group and down-regulated in another. Studies of miRNA gene families and clusters further confirmed that these sequence or location related miRNAs might have opposing expression between sexes. The specific miRNA might have greater expression divergence across different groups, suggesting flexible expression across different individuals, especially in tumor samples. The typical analysis regardless of the sex will ignore or balance these sex-specific deregulated miRNAs. Compared with flexible miRNAs, their targets of mRNAs showed relative stable expression between males and females. These relevant results provide new insights into miRNA-mRNA interaction and sex difference.
