Integrated microRNA and mRNA responses to acute human left ventricular ischemia.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a significant role in ischemic heart disease. Animal models of left ventricular (LV) ischemia demonstrate a unique miRNA profile; however, these models have limitations in describing human disease. In this study, we performed next-generation miRNA and mRNA sequencing on LV tissue from nine patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest. Samples were obtained immediately after aortic cross clamping (baseline) and before aortic cross clamp removal (postischemic). Of 1,237 identified miRNAs, 21 were differentially expressed between baseline and postischemic LV samples including the upregulated miRNAs miR-339-5p and miR-483-3p and the downregulated miRNA miR-139-5p. Target prediction analysis of these miRNAs was integrated with mRNA expression from the same LV samples to identify anticorrelated miRNA-mRNA pairs. Gene enrichment studies of candidate mRNA targets demonstrated an association with cardiovascular disease, cell death, and metabolism. Therapeutics that intervene on these miRNAs and their downstream targets may lead to novel mechanisms of mitigating the damage caused by ischemic insults on the human heart.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Renal transplantation is the preferred method for most patients with end-stage renal disease, however, acute renal allograft rejection is still a major risk factor for recipients leading to renal injury. To improve the early diagnosis and treatment of acute rejection, study on the molecular mechanism of it is urgent. METHODS:MicroRNA (miRNA) expression profile and mRNA expression profile of acute renal allograft rejection and well-functioning allograft downloaded from ArrayExpress database were applied to identify differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs and DE mRNAs. DE miRNAs targets were predicted by combining five algorithm. By overlapping the DE mRNAs and DE miRNAs targets, common genes were obtained. Differentially co-expressed genes (DCGs) were identified by differential co-expression profile (DCp) and differential co-expression enrichment (DCe) methods in Differentially Co-expressed Genes and Links (DCGL) package. Then, co-expression network of DCGs and the cluster analysis were performed. Functional enrichment analysis for DCGs was undergone. RESULTS:A total of 1270 miRNA targets were predicted and 698 DE mRNAs were obtained. While overlapping miRNA targets and DE mRNAs, 59 common genes were gained. We obtained 103 DCGs and 5 transcription factors (TFs) based on regulatory impact factors (RIF), then built the regulation network of miRNA targets and DE mRNAs. By clustering the co-expression network, 5 modules were obtained. Thereinto, module 1 had the highest degree and module 2 showed the most number of DCGs and common genes. TF CEBPB and several common genes, such as RXRA, BASP1 and AKAP10, were mapped on the co-expression network. C1R showed the highest degree in the network. These genes might be associated with human acute renal allograft rejection. CONCLUSIONS:We conducted biological analysis on integration of DE mRNA and DE miRNA in acute renal allograft rejection, displayed gene expression patterns and screened out genes and TFs that may be related to acute renal allograft rejection.
