The long noncoding RNA landscape in hypoxic and inflammatory renal epithelial injury.

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key species-specific regulators of cellular and disease processes. To identify potential lncRNAs relevant to acute and chronic renal epithelial injury, we performed unbiased whole transcriptome profiling of human proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) in hypoxic and inflammatory conditions. RNA sequencing revealed that the protein-coding and noncoding transcriptomic landscape differed between hypoxia-stimulated and cytokine-stimulated human PTECs. Hypoxia- and inflammation-modulated lncRNAs were prioritized for focused followup according to their degree of induction by these stress stimuli, their expression in human kidney tissue, and whether exposure of human PTECs to plasma of critically ill sepsis patients with acute kidney injury modulated their expression. For three lncRNAs (MIR210HG, linc-ATP13A4-8, and linc-KIAA1737-2) that fulfilled our criteria, we validated their expression patterns, examined their loci for conservation and synteny, and defined their associated epigenetic marks. The lncRNA landscape characterized here provides insights into novel transcriptomic variations in the renal epithelial cell response to hypoxic and inflammatory stress.

Project description:BackgroundEndometriosis is a debilitating gynecological condition that manifests many common malignant features, including migration and invasion. Hypoxia is a hallmark of endometriosis, characterized by endometrial cell metastasis via epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) UBOX antisense RNA 1 (UBOX5-AS1) has been shown to be upregulated in ovarian endometriosis. However, the molecular mechanisms and biological functions of lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 in hypoxia-induced endometriosis EMT remain to be explored.MethodsNormal, eutopic, and ectopic endometrium from ovarian endometriosis tissues were collected, and the expressions of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α, lncRNA UBOX5-AS1, E-cadherin, and vimentin were analyzed by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting analysis. Primary human endometrial epithelial cells and human endometrial epithelial adenocarcinoma Ishikawa cell lines were cultured under hypoxic conditions, and western blotting analysis and immunocytochemistry were performed to investigate hypoxia-induced EMT. Moreover, HIF-1α and lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 were overexpressed and knocked down in endometrial epithelial cells to explore the role and mechanisms of lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 in hypoxia-triggered EMT. The migration and invasion potential of human endometrial epithelial cells was detected by Transwell migration/invasion assays.ResultsIn ovarian endometriosis, the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 were significantly increased, and this was accompanied by EMT. Furthermore, endometrial epithelial cells cultured under hypoxic conditions exhibited elevated lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 expression, as well as migration, invasion, and an EMT-like phenotype. This data indicated that HIF-1α signaling was crucial for hypoxia-induced lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 upregulation and the EMT process. Moreover, downregulation of lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 inhibited the hypoxia-induced EMT and attenuated cell migration and invasion.ConclusionsThe present research demonstrated that hypoxia upregulated the expression of lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 via HIF-1α-dependent signaling. The increased expression of lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 plays a vital role in mediating the hypoxia-regulated EMT and invasiveness of endometriosis, suggesting that lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 may be an important potential therapeutic target for endometriosis.

Project description:BackgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-protein coding RNAs greater than 200 nucleotides (nt) in length which have been shown to be significantly highly expressed in the heart tissue of mice undergoing thoracic aortic arch constriction (TAC). Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-protein-coding RNAs. Many miRNAs have been reported to play a key role in the progression of myocardial hypertrophy. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether lncRNA reprogramming regulators (ROR) promotes hypoxic injury in cardiomyocytes by targeting and regulating the miR-145/HS1-associated protein X-1 (HAX-1) axis.MethodsA mouse model of myocardial hypertrophy was established by conventional TAC method, and the cardiomyocytes were isolated. We transfected pcDNA3.0-ROR vector, pcDNA3.0-HAX-1 vector plasmid, and miR-145 simulant into cardiomyocytes with Lipofectamine 2000. Luciferase reporter gene was used to analyze the targeting relationship between genes.ResultsThe expression of ROR in hypertrophic myocardium was significantly increased after phenylephrine (PE) intervention. After transfection with si-ROR, the ROR expression in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes treated with PE decreased significantly. Levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), creatine kinase (CK) decreased and superoxide dismutase (SOD) increased. The expression of miR-145 in cardiomyocytes was significantly down-regulated after PE treatment. In hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, after up-regulating the expression of miR-145, the relative messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein expressions of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) induced by PE decreased. Compared with the miR-NC group, wild type (WT)-ROR activity in the miR-145 group was significantly inhibited (P<0.05), and mutant (MUT)-ROR activity had no significant change (P>0.05). When cardiomyocytes were transfected with HAX-1 3'URT WT vector along with miR-145 simulant, miR-145 inhibitor, and their respective controls. Compared with the control groups, the luciferase activity of cells transfected with simulant was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and increased in inhibitor group (P<0.05). Transfection of HAX-1 3'URT mutant vector did not show this phenomenon. ROR was negatively correlated with miR-145 expression and positively correlated with HAX-1 mRNA.ConclusionsThe lncRNA ROR can promote the expression of HAX-1 by competitive binding with miR-145, so as to promote the pathophysiological process of myocardial hypertrophy.

Project description:The global spread of COVID-19, caused by pathogenic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) underscores the need for an imminent response from medical research communities to better understand this rapidly spreading infection. Employing multiple bioinformatics and computational pipelines on transcriptome data from primary normal human bronchial epithelial cells (NHBE) during SARS-CoV-2 infection revealed activation of several mechanistic networks, including those involved in immunoglobulin G (IgG) and interferon lambda (IFNL) in host cells. Induction of acute inflammatory response and activation of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) was prominent in SARS-CoV-2 infected NHBE cells. Additionally, disease and functional analysis employing ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) revealed activation of functional categories related to cell death, while those associated with viral infection and replication were suppressed. Several interferon (IFN) responsive gene targets (IRF9, IFIT1, IFIT2, IFIT3, IFITM1, MX1, OAS2, OAS3, IFI44 and IFI44L) were highly upregulated in SARS-CoV-2 infected NBHE cell, implying activation of antiviral IFN innate response. Gene ontology and functional annotation of differently expressed genes in patient lung tissues with COVID-19 revealed activation of antiviral response as the hallmark. Mechanistic network analysis in IPA identified 14 common activated, and 9 common suppressed networks in patient tissue, as well as in the NHBE cell model, suggesting a plausible role for these upstream regulator networks in the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Our data revealed expression of several viral proteins in vitro and in patient-derived tissue, while several host-derived long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were identified. Our data highlights activation of IFN response as the main hallmark associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro and in human, and identified several differentially expressed lncRNAs during the course of infection, which could serve as disease biomarkers, while their precise role in the host response to SARS-CoV-2 remains to be investigated.
